Paddy doing us a favor

i like this pbp guy. he's animated

I did like the ability to choose which team's broadcast you wanted to watch with NHLtv. But that mostly for following different PbP announcers.

I have that choice with ESPN+. And I doubt I am the only one.

Same thing on ESPN+ . I can even watch the spanish feed tonight.

Mikkola with the hulk smash!

 

[Robb_K]

Also was 2.5x more expensive

Yes, for ALL non-nationwide broadcasted games. But just getting The Blues' games-only package was about the same cost per game.

Oh I need to do some additional exploring then, I did see the Spanish feeds.

I like him overall that last shot by Kyrou was a bit of a screech though. Overall better than the hawk game broadcasters. Edit: Not that that was a very high bar

the normal games - the ones that aren’t the “game of the week” or whatever - give you the choice of both broadcasts

 

[TheDizee]

arizona
chicago
detroit
dallas
LA

Tonight we have Jon Buccigross, he has done a lot of the NCAA Hockey games on ESPN around the Frozen Four the past few years.

 

[Nederlander]

They started to come alive the last 10 minutes. But that third goal Binnington let in really hurt. A 3-0 lead feels so much worse than 2-0.

This is the same pbp guy that called the Hawks game.

I forgot they had that option. My roommate is from the DC area, so we’d rotate every year on paying for the full package for Blues/Caps games.

Are you sure? Really seems like a different crew? I know the color analyst is different.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

ugh...Melrose with the highwaters

 

[TheDizee]

they have butchered the espn nhl song now too

espn+ is literal cancer

 

[parliamentlite]

the normal games - the ones that aren’t the “game of the week” or whatever - give you the choice of both broadcasts

Apparently also provided they aren't your local team (i.e. the Caps for us, blacked out). Unless it's the national game.

NHL.tv is the same in this regard, though.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

I love that two of the intermission analysts are a former Lightning player and coach lol

 

[mk80]

If I open a window I might be hear Berube's between period talk to the team from my house

John Buccigross is calling tonight's game and I'm pretty sure he did the hawks game.

 

[Fitrix]

Logan Brown - 2:19 TOI
Dakota Joshua - 1:55

we’re down by 3, I get that. But we surely can’t run the top 6 back to back all night and expect them to have gas in the tank to come back right? And yet, we kind of need them to.

I just don’t know what the answer is. For a team that gets so much credit for being deep, isn’t now the time to use it? Cap situation sucks too, Mac Mac could be here if not for cap crunch. We have so many man games lost since the cup, with no cap space, and it hurts.

 

[BlueSeal]

Blues Hockey…

It’s cool. Get your heads right boys and go get em! This ain’t over yet!

LETS GO BLUES!!!

 

[ChicagoBlues]

John Buccigross is calling tonight's game and I'm pretty sure he did the hawks game.

Makes sense Bucc is a long-time ESPN guy. Doing a great job, imo.

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Well Nashville Minnesota and Dallas all winning we need some points tonight…..Boys better make a game of this.
