Seems like his play calls have no emotion. I donno.
I'm with you, I'm a big fan of his, but in a host/presenter role. He's not cut out for PBP unless he improves dramatically, quickly. He's fantastic at the pre-game/intermission stuff, I wish they'd just keep him doing that.

What happened to Friedman's hair? He needs to tell his stylist to mix in a little grey or something as he looks straight up odd with his hair dyed that dark.

I don't think he does a lot of prime time national ones in English?

I'll give him a few more games before I pass judgement. He is rather monotone though in my opinion.

Really they're debating for a penalty shot on that.


Here's my suggestion, make the puck a ball, put the nets 10 feet in the air, replace the ice with wood and skates with sneakers.


Shadup.

McDavid should get a penalty shot cause he’s McDavid.

That’s some in depth analysis there Eliott.

I have to say, I actually like this panel a lot. I don't love Stewart, I think he tries too hard, but he's far from the worst guy they've had on and everyone else is fantastic and provide great variety with Burke acting as curmudgeon. And Marek is probably my favourite host of the guys they've got. Just fantastic intermission content and it's not complicated - just a hotstove.

EDIT: Never mind, Stewart with the "if it wasn't McDavid it wouldn't be a penalty". I like him too now.

Odd, I think he's quite good at PBP and terrible at hosting.

I think some are giving Harnaryan a pass because he is such an awesome human being but this hasn't been the best PBP I have ever heard

that being said its been okay and I imagine it takes a ton of reps to get good and this isn't the worst I have heard

Looked to me like he fanned on the shot. But what do I know.

Elliotte Friedman: "He didn't get the shot he wanted so it should have been a penalty shot".

Players don't get the shot they want all the time. Should they get a penalty shot too ya goof?

I was critical earlier too, but compared to some of the guys they've had he's at least better than those - thinking Remenda, Lee, and Quinn. If he's calling Oiler games it's a step in the right direction even if he isn't Chris Cuthbert.

should be a penalty shot because fans want to see it! FFS Oiler fans maybe

Call the rulebook...lots of guys don't even get that call at all if we are being honest

I think he was playing for the penalty shot call, that's why McDumbass was whining and pointing to center ice. Maybe he needs to give the referees more shoulder taps then crying.

Burke the only one talking sense.

McDavid should get a penalty shot just because it's McDavid? Lol, get real Friedman and Bieksa. He wasn't free and clear with a defender behind him, it's not a penalty shot. It's definitely a 2-minute minor but that's it

The idiots on the Masked Dancer would do a better job than this panel.

Except Burke is good.

He reminds me of Charlie Simmer. Kind of just sucks the life out of the game.

Some things never change.

As a kid I absolutely recall watching an Oiler captain whining at the ref in game one of a season.
