I assume most people will catch that that’s not the Sabres’ logo, but, I also assume many will be unfamiliar with Ryan Johnson. He is a defenseman.

It's been a while since a thread like this. The original one was pure gold.

I think my favorite one that I've seen is a Florida Panthers - Carolina Hurricanes one where they had the Carolina Panthers logo for Florida, and The U's logo for the Canes. Can't remember if that was ESPN or some random local broadcast somewhere though. The former mixup I've seen multiple times on ESPN though.

If you click Ryan Johnson, it takes you to Ryan Johnson who was born in 1976 and actually played for Chicago Blackhawks.
Does that make it better or worse? I don't know.

I had no idea it got even better. Stunning.i guess that explains why he’s listed as a center

Probably lost to time but will always chuckle when I think of ESPN having a black baseball player's picture on their Curtis Glencross player profile.

That was Manny Ramirez, lol.
I know we’re on a hockey forum but the bolded is funny to read as Ramirez was one of the more recognizeable athletes in his day and most people have no clue who Curtis Glencross is

Maybe it was an intern and they just looked at the Blackhawks' performance the past two years and concluded the most likely explanation was that they kept rolling out almost 50 year old centers to play for them?If you click Ryan Johnson, it takes you to Ryan Johnson who was born in 1976 and actually played for Chicago Blackhawks.

At least they don't have Gaudreau listed as Out.

What if ESPN didn’t make a mistake, and the Sabres actually signed this guy instead, hmm? Y’all ever think about that?

Different sport but this is the same ESPN that tried to say Angel Reese was ROTY for the WNBA while Caitlin Clark just got 66 of 67 votes for it.
The real question should be does ESPN know any sport?

NHL season preview: Power Rankings, predictions, X factors
"21. Utah Hockey Club
Last season: N/A"
"Best case: Making the playoffs in their first season. Recent history has shown that brand-new franchises can get into the postseason pretty quickly. The Golden Knights did it in Year 1, while the Kraken did it in their second season. There are 14 players on Utah's roster that were part of last year's Arizona Coyotes team."

i was willing to be lenient but ESPN has covered this league terribly in the new deal. I actually miss NBC.
The league doesn't. They have gotten more buzz on ESPN than NBC ever gave them. Remember when NBC used to switch to horse racing right away or how when a playoff game ended and it was right to some random niche sport on OLN/Versus/NBCSN that probably did far lower ratings rather than a post show?

Reminds me of the NHL on.... OLN./
This NHL game that has playoff connotations has been re-empted for some white dude in a boat drawling about stripers for an hour and how to best bait for 'em.
