The biggest thing that pisses me off about hockey broadcasts? When they have agendas, and narratives that they're building regardless of evidence.
You're there to tell the story of what's happening on the ice. You're there to make what's actually happening in the game more interesting - show us small details that can help fill in the gaps of the emotional tale of the 60 minutes. It happens multiple times in games now where someone's trying to tell a story/push their agenda, and when they cut to the replay it doesn't match up at all so they bumble what they're saying or spit it out anyways regardless of the facts.
I don't need to listen to 60 minutes of made up stories that have nothing to do with what's happening during the game. No agenda. Watch, react. Show a better understanding of the game rather than interjecting a bunch of bs.
To be dramatic, on some nights it feels like I'm actually watching the death of what I believe to be an art.
