That only thing I care on NHL ESPN is the Official Theme Song NBC Theme Song was my favorite when I was a little kid

As of my family that purchased FuboTV, we don’t have TNT. I really don’t understand why we don’t have TNT because TNT deserves to be on on FuboTV because we purchased SlingTV last year’s SCF & I had to pay for my Seattle Winter Classic. ⬇️ Every popular sport league needs to work together to fixed streaming service so family aren’t paying for 2 to more subscriptions because that’s aren’t right or DIRECTV is still the best thing

Canadian coverage of the NHL > american coverage (this goes for both tnt and espn)

We watched every SCF game on the CBC. ESPN is simply terrible at hockey nowadays.

ESPN is a trash network

So what else is new?

I usually try to sync up the radio broadcast with the game so I don't have to listen to the horrific broadcasting from ESPN

That 99 team will always be my favorites. The swagger was unreal. Rip Hamilton and Khalid are my all time favorite players.

Interviewing the coach during the game is inane. Let the man concentrate on winning the game. And Subban is such a clown; he should join Barnum and Bailey’s.

Steve Levy knows nothing about hockey

Everything you’ve said is so true

To start Sean McDonough and Ray Ferraro are awful. ESPN’s sports talk shows don’t even bring up hockey or take hockey seriously and the ones that do say hockey isn’t a sport. They don’t deserve the rights to broadcast playoff Hockey let alone regular season. Even tho I can’t stand Biz, at least TNT is entertaining.

A year or so ago NY radio host Michael Kay was on first take AND Stephen A and Molly asked him which NY team he thought would next win a title. When he said the Rangers he was told that doesn't count. that shoes how much ESPN cares about hockey

Bob Wischusen is an energetic announcer. McDonough shows pretty much 0 real emotion throughout the game until the puck goes in the net

I totally agree. TNT is much better then ESPN. I doubt the NHL will do anything about it. It's not about growing the game, it's about the $$$$$$

ESPN should have hired Gary Thorne to do the finals.

I'm so happy for the Panthers 🌴 🐀 🌞 🏆

Sean McDonough is the worst of them all. I was pissed when I heard he’d be calling all the games. Have Kenny Albert or John Forslund call the games instead.

I liked Subban and Messier as players. But they're terrible analysts.

Since he is the new York jets radio announcer and I am a jets fan, I’ve been a big fan of wischusen for years and i am still baffled why he dosent call the Stanley cup final

ESPN is terrible with all sports. Have you watched them cover a baseball game?

I miss those days in the 1970s when Ted Lindsay was the color announcer for the NBC NHL Game of the Week. I liked everything about his presentation and his ability to explain things in layman's terms.

I agree that these guys are a joke.

not to mention they were complete biased against Florida the entire playoffs.

The only thing ESPN cares about is the New York Rangers.

🌴🐀🌴🏆

garbage espn

Doc sux

and then they said arizona never existed at the draft

I kinda agree with you there.

Should of brought back Gary Thorne.

I disagree. MSG on ESPN is great as long as the Rangers or Bruins are playing. Otherwise they wouldn't care.

Yes!!!

Don't forget that clown jim rome, zero coverage to look at me I did one segment a year.

ESPN is to hockey what Fox is to NASCAR. The Draft coverage was a fucking joke. They constantly got information wrong. Golden Knights being the latest expansion team, did they completely forget about Seattle? They’re trying to copy the NFL having a jingle every time a team locks in their pick. The only problem is they don’t play the jingle until they’re already on stage, they’ll be walking up to the stage while the clock is still going. By the time ESPN plays the jingle they’re interrupting the person speaking which annoyed the absolute shit out of me. Commentators had no chemistry. They were constantly fake laughing all night. I would honestly rather have Pat McAfee and his crew do the commentary over these boring bugs. Speaking of Pat, he’s really doing the heavy lifting of advertising hockey on ESPN during his show. That’s absolutely embarrassing (not saying anything bad about Pat) when a show on ESPN does more advertising to a sport than a multi-billion dollar corporation like ESPN/Disney

The idea that anyone prefers NBC over ESPN is the craziest thing I have ever heard. NBC showing the same 8 teams, "rivalry night" featuring the sabres vs wild?, and Milbury? JFC come on......

wokESPN sucks.

ESPN really only promotes football and basketball. Hockey and Baseball get sidelined, which is strange because Hockey has been on a clear incline on general interest over the last decade or two and baseball has been as well since the new rule changes. Ironically basketball seems to be dipping in interest, which is probably why they push it so hard. I genuinely don’t know anyone who likes watching basketball anymore and the only ones I know who even remotely follow it are just sports gamblers lmao.

Yopu didnt even touch on Screechy Leah. Shes terrible and is a terrible interviewer. Prime example was the draft tonight.

I tried watching a couple of games on ABC (I don't have cable) but left after a few minutes. The play-by-play man was telling the life story of one of the players while the game was going on. ESPN is also fascinated with showing the coaches every few minutes or so. they do the same with baseball and the managers. And lose the little balloon over the players while the game is going on.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

in game 7 in the final mutilpe times it would lag and even lose volume for sometime during the game and throughout the celebration

they had a pregame show

Why does ESPN think it's necessary to have those irritating floating name tags following the puck carrier around during a power play? Also the blue circle that surrounds a player on the ice when the announcers are talking about him.

lol okay. So in America, you need to know that NO PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY, legally has any responsibility to you the consumer. In fact they have a legal obligation to return as much money as possible to shareholders each quarter. That means they have to keep cutting costs to make more money. That’s American capitalism baby. You as the consumer are the last thing any company cares about. I also don’t think half of you bitching about ESPN realize they wouldn’t be still doing it if it wasn’t profitable. Because, there are tons of people that just wouldn’t watch hockey at all if ESPN didn’t have it. They’re trying to break through that old mentality of disrespecting hockey as a sport and guys like biz and PK do a better job than most other broadcasters because they’re not just talking to hockey fans, they’re trying to be broader than that. I don’t pay for cable. I wouldn’t pay for cable. Altitude TV region blocks in my area, so I have to use both a VPN and ESPN to watch my own local team. So while you 5 weirdos are bitching about ESPN, there’s thousands of people like me that just wouldn’t watch regular season hockey without that streaming service option that doesn’t cost 80 fucking dollars a fucking month in some bullshit package deal idgafab. You have to understand this is a necessary growing pain that all media is going through right now and because hockey was late to the party, it’s struggling more with the fact that no one under 30 has a cable connection or can even afford to. Besides all that TSN is the fucking worst at having shit on time, and god forbid there’s back to back games scheduled, because they’re gunna fuck you out of the first 15 minutes of the period of that second game while they let their ensemble of old has been casters ramble like Joe Biden and trump rambled about golf tonight. ESPN does treat hockey like shit. But that’s getting better. Especially with more talent like Biz and PK. Hockey fans especially in Canada have to fucking reconcile and deal with the fact that hockey doesn’t just belong to them anymore and that for this game to survive, it requires them getting on as many screens as possible and enduring the growing pains that come with it. It’s also really weird that you make a point to shit on women’s sports. Try touching a titty some time.

Sean McDonough is so boring!

agree with your assessment of ESPN. but no more Biased Canadian announcers. fix the game. no more protecting your superstar ice princesses, Canada. the reason for Gretzky Crosby Mcdavid doesn't have to deal with hits like Pavelski took last year. Dumba blind sides him breaks his spin in half. nothing to see here boys. It's so stupid the next one is Bedard. his candyass runs into someone. ready to hang the player for standing there. how stupid does America have to be so you can be relevant.

I was able to buy a jailbroken fire stick to watch the Canadian broadcast cast for all the oilers games (I live in America) so I don’t have to listen to Sean fucking McDonough or ray Ferraro anymore

We just need to hope Bettman gets knocked out of his position by 2028 and we’ll make it. It’s hell right now but we’ll get by and at least the game is still great

Ray Ferraro took over for Pierre as the worst voice in sports.
