GDT: ECSF #1 - 5/16/13 | New York Rangers @ Boston Bruins | 7:30 PM - NBCSN, TSN

Mute! The Doc/Olczyk team is a tough listen. Doc is Doc and Olczyk provides nothing. The only half-decent people on the entire broadcast are Pierre and maybe Keith Jones.

Years ago we had Gary Thorne and Bill Clement for the national games - they were so much better. Clement especially manages to be informative and entertaining. Pierre, OTOH, is informative but not exactly entertaining. Olczyk is neither.

It's like NBC doesn't give a damn.

Ugh...people get on Doc for making every shot sound like a scoring chance, Thorne is 100X worse and he can't pronounce any name that isn't Smith or Jones, and Clement was as much a Flyer homer as Eddie is a Hawks homer.

 

[NHRangerfan]

Is this game on the radio?

“@SWhyno: Source confirms Alex Ovechkin played Games 6 and 7 vs Rangers with broken foot, as @kcarrera reported. #Capsâ€

???? and he still went to play for Russia?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

It all don't matter! Leeeeet's goooo Rangeeeers! Game 1 victory would be huge! Can't wait.

 

[KingP]

Theres many reasons to dislike Doc, I don't like him because he sounds like a pretentious parrot who's had too much coffee. The whole crew is just awful. Sam & Joe are with us all year, then we get these schmucks for the most important time of the season?

 

[aufheben]

???? and he still went to play for Russia?

Probably just another fabricated excuse why they lost.

 

[NHRangerfan]

Hoping the veteran leadership on this team makes sure there is no post-game 7 let down to open this series.

LGR!

Wish someone had a good TSN stream on. Love listening to Gord Miller. Even though he makes an icing sound like a game 7 OT Stanley Cup winning goal

yeah i'd really like to watch a real hockey broadcast...not the horrible show nbc puts on

 

[Stasis]

Pierre is part of the crew tonight, that much I know.

I actually like him so I listen to his daily podcast and they said he was getting ready to fly to Boston. Not sure if that means we get Doc or not.

 

[Leetch66]

We should finish all our checks on Adam McQuaid...he is prone to some temper tantrums and loses it quite easily IMO . Give him some extra shots every chance we get...a poke here and a poke there will get him riled up and he might takes some retaliation PM's .

We get the forecheck working , finish our checks and we stay out of the box...we should be OK in this game . Somebody has to keep Lucic from pounding away our D and Hank...he can hurt us bad physically...I hope Boyle can stay in his face and it would be a bonus if Kreider can use his size...if he can do that and free up some space for Richards...that 4th line could be a big asset against a young Bruin blueline .

I think we can beat the Bruins in 5 .

Not enough people have seen this. Posting it again.

Why only have one of Pierre or Miller when you can have both?!

 

[Maineice11]

take it one period, one shift at a time...win it Rangers!!!!

 

[Maineice11]

old school msg intro for the Rangers Game!

 

[MTrangers]

I totally get you guys preferring Sam and Joe but man...I work my way through school and miss 75% of games. I wish I had the NBC crew to complain about...

thanks! WBBR it is.

 

[Kershaw]

who can forget this moment



I can't find Double Dion video, but that was the first time I noticed that he totally lost it.

 

[Maineice11]

Old school ESPN hockey intro...way better than NBC's

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!

The first three games of the series should be Strader and Pierre, and game 4 is Strader and Engblom.

We on the B's side are equally happy, if not more so, that there is no Doc & Olcjyceyechartczk

[Amazing Kreiderman]

ESPN America is showing the game!!! WOOHOO!!! Now I don't have to split my laptop screen into HF Boards and a stream

 

[The Gloaming]

Yes! No Doc!

Strader is a lot better.

 

[Fitzy]

People talk about these teams being dull; I think we're in for a great playoff series. We have a bad rep with the Bruins because Hank plays great against them and half of our games against them are on Sunday afternoon. Not so here.
