I do feel bad for the kid that actually did that move. Like why is it called the Michigan instead of his name!?

Is there some edict in Western Canada that their broadcasters have to be enormous homers? Listening to the Oilers games against the Wild and Bruins and they complain about every damn call. Every call is a travesty. And the screaming, guys I’m trying to relax here, don’t yell at me. Screaming is only acceptable in hard rock music and in the bedroom. Chill out!

Every time McDavid is stopped from skating freely to score a highlight reel goal, a puppy loses its angel wings.

Think of the puppies.

Oilers TV guys and Flames Radio guys are brutal for this.
Gene Principe annoys the hell out of me. Went to a Kings Oilers game there the year the new rink opened and turns out he annoys me even more in person.
As far as non-homer broadcasts it is tough to beat the Wild and Blues IMO

It doesn't get any worse than Jack Edwards for me
 
Jack Edwards has a persona on TV, it's strange. I've heard him on XM many times (mainly The Point) and he's totally different. Not loud, not obnoxious, not a homer, and most of the times criticized the Bruins performance. He was actually very entertaining to listen to when he's talking normal and very smart. On TV he doesn't really bother me because it's obvious he doesn't take himself serious, it's more of a production than anything, it's not totally serious. Unlike the Canucks who are total pearl clutchers and whiners about everything and are very serious.

Also, Bruins radio crew is EXCELLENT, same with the Flyers.

One thing that also really annoys me, and the Oilers radio crew are totally guilty of this, is when the opposing team scores and they barely say anything. They'll be like -

Kings goal - "Kopitar cuts to the net, rebound by Smith, Kempe back to Doughty, Doughty shoots. And it goes in."

Oilers goal - "McDavid to Nurse, nurse back to McDavid, McDavid over to Draisaitl, Draisaitl SCAAAAAAOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAOOOOOORSSSS! LEON DRAISAITLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLL!!! OILOLOLOLOLERS HAVE CUT THE DEFICIT TO 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 
Bettman stated yesterday at the owners meeting that the Coyotes are not going anywhere. He's like an old dog with a bone, won't admit it was a bad decision.

"... as a reminder this was the same excuse the team used when they failed to pay some of their employees in a timely manner. Glendale does not have an agenda. We just want assurances that the team pay all of their obligations to the city in a timely manner ..."

"Our approach is based on our actual experiences with the team. Perhaps the League will be willing to guarantee that the city is fully paid by June 30th, 2022."

I should note that, prior to publication Wednesday evening, I did ask the league if they were willing to guarantee any future liabilities for the Coyotes. They did not respond.

I like Jack Edwards, he's an unapologetic homer but he does it with a whole lot of flair and personality. That goes a long way, in my opinion. I take that over the boring ones that offer little to nothing of substance and still whine about every call against their team.
