English announcers have their niche and are quite stoich but I can't stand the amount of times in a game where things are happening and they let fly with 15 seconds of dead air. The Spanish/Brazilian commentators talk to much and too loudly but I'd take their excitement over the British stoicism. It sounds like they took on-air pause lessons from Jim Rome.

I think we'd all be comfortable giving Heatley back to the Germans. Give us Stamkos instead.
