I’m sure most are at very least happy the NHL is moving away from NBC. Their overall presentation and handling of the on air “talent” was terrible. How Pierre was allowed to announce a playoff game every night in the first 2 rounds and every marquee/Finals games for what felt like 20 straight years is insane!!
So back to my main point, I wanted to give a shoutout to Eddie-O. Yes he’s a Hawks homer (especially on local broadcasts) and can be a bit annoying but he of course understands the Blues/Hawks rivalry and you can tell he has a bigger respect for the Blues because of that. I’m sure most caught his perfectly placed Kadri burn last night. With around 4 minutes left there was a little scrum and he talks about not being selfish and putting your team down a guy. Then goes on a detailed Kadri rant about how selfish that his was and it was one of the main reasons CO didn’t advance. He also did the same thing at the end of game 6 of CO-VG. It was nice to hear props to Olczyk for that!
Anyways I’m excited for a change and curious what ESPN will do.
