He's terrible and the worst out of everyone else.

Hazy and Aly I both like a lot. Ahlers I think is the voice of Ducks hockey so I like him even if I think as a pxp guy he's pretty bad at his job overall. Guy I don't think is a good analyst and never really overcame his awkwardness on camera, but come on, its Guy Hebert. I can't not love the guy.
I actually think the opposite. Hazy is a bigger homer, but i think he does his job well. Ahlers *constantly* says the wrong players name when doing pbp.

Agreed. I would keep Hayward over Ahlers. I love Hayward's subtle trollings.
I wonder if Bobby Ryan could have a future in TV, he is pretty well spoken if you've ever listened to his Sens podcast. but he is a Sens guy through and through these days, you'd never know he spent as much time as he did in Anaheim. so much so, I couldn't help but wonder if there might've been some hard feelings between him and the org in the years subsequent to the trade.
Dan Wood says hi. That guy's voice was like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.
It was Bob Murray so I wouldn't be surprised. It's been a long time but I'm pretty sure Bobby Ryan was unhappy with the trade.
I’m cool with both of them, I like Hazy’s insights on the game, and Ahlers is fine. When you have the Tyson Nash, Jack Edwards, Peter McNabs and etc out there, we are truly blessed.
I bring up McNab because I believe it was him who said something along the lines where the Colorado Avalanche were wasting their time playing a bad team like the Ducks. Think it was a season or two ago.
Thank Goodness for ESPN+ where I can choose the broadcast. But still stuck with the Devils and Islanders broadcast. Lol.

Eakins actually gave a lot of insight when he's on TV.
There were behind the scenes things going on with Ryan here that led to the trade as much as the money did.
Since they aren't publicly confirmed I cannot say. Nothing abhorrent, but they weren't happy about some off-ice stuff.
It sort of reminds me of Tony Romo when he was calling games and predicting plays. It’s nice to discuss plays and schemes in detail.

Are we sure 80% of the game is played 3 feet from the boards?Maybe our players were just bad
Might not be 80% but if I think of it, a lot of the game really is near the boards. But a lot of the time it is just dumping or throwing the puck out
Nonetheless, board battles are important. But yeah, no idea where he got that number.

We’re about a decade into hockey’s analytics revolution and seemingly very few of them understand the economics of the league. There’s over 120 forwards making at least $5 million a year, a good chunk of them aren’t going to be line drivers.

It’s an attempt to come off as insightful which is painfully ironic given the content. On the surface it’s such a lame attempt given Kane’s stature as one of the greatest players of his era but it’s so much worse given it’s a pretty awful idea on the merits.
Would be kind of cool to see Kane in a Ducks jersey, I’ll at least give him that.
