GDT: 2022-23 season game 68 LA Kings vs New York Islanders @7:30pm 3/14/23

What do you guys think about the Ducks' broadcasters team?

Hayward was a lot more biased like 4 or 5 years ago but i've watched a few games with him lately and he's lightened up a bit. I agree with you that Washington and Boston are way worse though.

 

[mysterman2]

Shutout

early on has that type of feel.

 

[kilowatt]

Hayward has, on more than one occasion, accused injured players of faking their injuries.

 

[Ghost of Arbour]

how vulgar of an answer do you want?

Ha, its interesting because the Rangers announcers I really like, mitchelletti (who used to do the isles' games) and Sam Rosen. I don't hate on the other NY teams, will root for them if they are on.

 

[ru4reals]

LOL...

Jack Edwards is one of the most unbearable announcers, ever. Who ever hired him needs to be questioned.

He's the absolute worst in all of sports. Can't listen for one second to his homerism.

 

[FeartheFur]

Our top 4 D are good. It’s the third pairing that is a problem…

 

[chris kontos]

Sam rosen and joe micheletti are the best in the nhl imo

 

[killermiller]

Have we even tried Kupari with Iafallo and Vilardi yet? I just don't think Lizotte fits on that third line.

 

[bouncesonly]

Only Butch is the regular partner, the usual play-by-play is off tonight.

That’s a bummer. Is he being traded? We’ll trade you Burke for Faust and Columbus’s first (they won’t mind).

 

[Ghost of Arbour]

I've had to listen to them plenty over the years when LA and Anaheim would share a broadcast, and Hayward is one of the worst color guys in the league. Bruins and Washington are bottom five as well.

LOL Butchie can't even get the names of the NYI's player right, and he's been doing our games for decades. Also prone to making up words and misusing phrases. Quite an adventure listening to Brendan have to try and manage the broadcast after hearing what sounds like gibberish.

Brendan is the usual guy, but I think he also does some national games so you might have to swap with ESPN.

I really don't feel like starting this debate again bit I'm getting the feeling that were being outcoached. Seems like 2 game in a row, its just ugly out there.

i don't think there's much coaching going on yet, they're kinda just rolling 4

no penalties hardly any whistles, 2 neutral zone clogging teams

meh

Blake and Todd should get fired for this.

Probably more tolerable than Fox and Faust talking about wine for half our games

Playing Edler and Walker over Bjornfot and Spence is downright criminal. Coach is really clowning this one.
Gavrikov- Spence
Bjornfot- Roy
Would be better than edler-walker sniffing the ice. Todd makes things as hard as possible for his team and young players.

 

[bouncesonly]

Brendan is heir apparent to Strader as far as play by play goes.

 

[Ghost of Arbour]

If I'm a high seed in the east the last team I'd want to see is the Isles, could totally see them taking out the Rangers, Devils, Canes in the 1st round.

We don't have the horses on D or O to win more than 2 games in a first round against just about any of the other top East teams, and realistically I don't expect we'll even make the PO Bec the other teams around us have 3-4 games in hand.

Typical Isles' snooze fest. Might be a bit Dif if Barzal was playing

 

[Schmooley]

They are completely insane running this. There cant be any reasoning that would make sense to actively not ice your best roster possible every night

i really enjoy jack edwards in the "professional wrestling announcer" kind of way

it's wildly unprofessional and sometimes i'm not sure it's intending to be

LOL might depend on how much he drank before the broadcast, and how much we did as listeners.

Looks like a Sorokin Shutout. He looks like he's on tonight.

Patience, Mayfield is due for another 3-penalties in a period game.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

I would take prime Jim Ross and jerry lawler over Faust and Fox any day.

 

[tny760]

the one thing i miss from the LA broadcast though is the absence of this gambling advertisement in the middle of the intermission report

so sleazy

I miss the updates from big bear mountain always wondering if there’s snow there or not

 

[chris kontos]

I think daryl sutter snuck in and started coaching the isles

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Edler walker with 12 attempts against for a -23% CFrel and only goal against

that's twice as many attempts against as 2nd worst, who is Doughty/Anderson, who had over twice the time

This is a coaching decision worth questioning over and over and over again until both dudes are off the roster.

Oh great, that'll buy that asshole another 20 games.

 

[chris kontos]

We’ll never get rid of walker…
