I just want to say that after watching some of the NHL Highlights from all of yesterday's games that we are so blessed to have Sam Rosen as our Hometown announcer...
Some of these guys are so dry. When the opposing team scores, their voices will drop to a lull in disappointment (Particularly the WPG vs COL game from yesterday, listen to the disappointment when COL loses in OT).
Just wanted to give credit where it is due

Sam is fine IMO. He's been missing calls more frequently than he used to but it's not that big a deal to me.
I really can't stand Michelleti though. All of this stuff is a matter of preference but the guy just takes his job way too seriously. We've been watching him for how many years now and he hasn't once said anything remotely humorous. JD used to make everyone laugh regularly. It brings a completely different tone to the broadcast when the color guy acts like he's enjoying himself. Watch a Coyotes game or a Stars game. You have one of the best jobs in the world, act like it once in a while.

I don't think he takes it too seriously; he's just not a very funny dude. No problem with Joe. Sam is definitely on the decline, and Trautwig (who I love) is coming off a bit crotchety/creepy at times.

I've listened to a lot of announcers over the years, and I appreciate the personality that Sam and Joe have. At times, I scream out to myself "okay, stop yakkin' and call the play" but like you say, when you listen around the league, there's so many awful homers who do not even pretend to be objective.
I like Sam and Joe, warts and all. Nobody's perfect. At least they show respect for the standards of professionalism.

We're lucky to have both Sam and Joe.
I cringe every time I see a game is scheduled on NBC because of Doc "Waffle Board" Emrick and Millbury who i believe is a complete *** hole who hates the NYR

Doc isn't terrible... The analyst crew between periods and post game is terrible though. Milbury is horrible

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Every broad-cast team needs at least one creep in there for good measure. NBC has Pierre. We have Al Trautwig, sports creeper/archaeologist.
Al Trautwig won me over with his "BROOTAL CALL!" rant two seasons ago. I love the man.
If you want poor announcing, listen to any Devils radio or T.V. cast. Their radio tandem are morons. On T.V., Chico is probably the worst commentator in the history of sports. That is how bad he is.

Rangers broadcasting is not an issue for me in the slightest on TV or radio. I love Sam, Joe can be a tad cheesy now and then, I like Al and Maloney too.
That said, I'm watching the game, not trying to see what announcer might be doing that could be deemed "wrong".
Chico is irritating, so that's a problem because it's distracting. It takes away from my enjoyment of the game. I prefer the radio feed for devils games. Not sure of the names.

Sam is fading, but I've said it time and again, he's our Phil Rizzuto. He is gone when he wants to go. Not a minute before.
Joe I don't have a problem with.
John G, Trouts-wig and Pidto and the fastest 150 crap has to go.
all three suck farts out of seats in busses

Sam Rosen is so awful and Micheletti is right behind him. Joltin Joe is better on NBC because he isnt as neutered by MSG who will off him if he ever criticizes anything or anyone.
They are obsessed with the USA Olympic team so much at present they miss half the action thats going on the ice. Sam Rosen is the absolutely the worst play by play man in the game. Bar None. End Of Story. Period.

I've finally had it with MSG. I try to watch the opposing teams broadcasts now. Sam & Joe are simply terrible. even with all of the homers, almost every other network is still miles better than MSG. not only announcing, but picture quality, audio, camera angles, studio crews, commercials, everything.

video feeds are very inconsistent. I don't get it. Aren't they owned by Cablevision?

HD PQ is top notch on MSG from the garden. The quality varies by arena, they're sharing the main camera angles.

No the worst one has to be Resch that guy is boring and he gets so excited with everything Brodeur and now he has a lover affair for Schneider. He makes me sick every time I hear him. Boring as can be
