When ESPN had the rights they did an outstanding job with them. They had guys calling the games that knew what they were doing and they had outstanding broadcasts.
The late Tom Mees, Gary Thorne, Jack Edwards (who now does PBP for NESN), Dave Strader....all hockey guys.
What I don't like is the lack of NHL content now, at least on the TV side. They trot out Barry Melrose for 5 minutes and he gives you a synopsis of an entire round of the playoffs. It's second class coverage.
