NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Missed the games on Versus this weekend as my hospital room did not have it. Listened to the Hawks game, glad I missed it. Tonight is as close to a "must win" as a non-elimination game can be.

Sharks up 2-0, Pavelski is just the hottest player in the league right now. Good for him, he is a good guy too.

Looking forward to not missing any games this week, should be excellent hockey.

Flyers go down 2 games to 0. Two really hard fought games by both teams so far...much more intense than the Devils/Flyers series IMHO.

The color commentator on Versus drove me crazy tonight. To any Bruins fans, is he the regular color guy for the Bruins? My guess is he was. At first I thought his perspective may have just been slanted until I noticed "Prongah", "Wheelah" and "Rydah".

Yea, that's Andy Brickley. He's usually not too bad when working with Jack Edwards (B's p-b-p on NESN) but I think with Edwards being by far the worst p-b-p and biggest homer out there, Brick sounds tame in comparison when working together.

With Beninati, Brick's accent stuck out too much. I heard Rosen doing some p-b-p on Versus in the first round, has he been around in the second?

Anything's better than "A DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE, WAFFLEBOARDED AWAAAAAAAAAAAY". Doc would be a great p-b-p announcer on the radio, where the audience benefits from detailed descriptions. However on TV, by the time he finishes his flowering prose, the puck's already down the other end of the ice in a more exciting situation. Also, TV viewers don't need their hand held as much as the radio, as they have visuals.
