GDT: Game 41: Candied Yams vs Coyotes - 2:00pm - ESPN+, Hulu - The Brawl In The Basement

[rt]

Happy with Keller, Moser, Tourigny right now.

 

[SR]

Keller is a completely different player.

Happy with Keller, Moser, Tourigny right now.

I love how 3 different guys now between Tourigny and Stillman and Housley have shown to have the team playing better than Tocchet.

 

[Mosby]

5 points in 10 games for Moser

 

[Sm00chy]

Man Moser looks like a a player that’s been in the NHL for 5+ years. So consistent recently. Also I am very surprised how strong physically he is. Excellent pick by this staff

 

[Mosby]

Fun (and sad) fact:

A draft pick of Bill Armstrong, Janis Moser already has more points with the Coyotes than any defenceman drafted by John Chayka, outside of Jakob Chychrun.

A bit convoluted, but wow.

Chayka's defencemen:

Miller (Chayka's list) - 0 GP
Soderstrom - 2 pts
Bergkvist - 0 GP
Bahl - 0 GP with AZ
Emberson - 0 GP
Callahan - 0 GP
Busby - 0 GP
POJ - 0 GP with AZ
Westerlund - 0 GP
Crotty - o GP
Hofermayer - 0 GP
Karow - 0 GP
Dineen - 4 pts
Kudla - 0 GP
Stewart - 0 GP

 

[0point1]

Very interesting statistic Mosby. To add in, Bahl has 2 points total including with NJ, POJ has 5 total NHL points.

Only 1 more HULU/ESPN+ game on the schedule. And there was much rejoicing.

Missed broadcast since I went to game. So am I hearing this right that you all prefer the coyotes current broadcast trio over ESPN trio? By the way what did Linda Cohn do between the benches? Was she our Nash replacement or Walsh replacement tonight?

 

[TheLegend]

Well.... back after a night off the grid.

Guess it was a good time to miss a game call.

I dislike Nash and Walsh more than words can describe. Nash and McConnell feed off each other so much that they make each other worse. McConnell could potentially be an almost average PbP announcer with a good analyst who was actually into analysis rather than buzzwords and dumb repetitive catchphrases. I did not watch intermissions of today's broadcast at all, but caught most of the game. From what I watched:

Hextall was the best part of the ESPN broadcast. That should say it all. I don't hate her as much as I originally did. Her vocal inflections and calls have either gotten better or I have grown more comfortable with them, though I cringe with every "and with that......" after most whistles and before every break. Cassie Campbell-Pascall is an awful hockey analyst. Besides the poor hockey analysis, she is monotone, seemingly does no pre-game prep homework and misidentifies players - and she is doing after the fact analysis! Cohn I could probably describe more as the Walsh replacement with puff piece and silly statements, but unless I mixed up her voice with Cassie's, she had very little in-game airtime.

I got the feeling Cassie and Linda Cohn were not comfortable in their roles or/and that the whole show had little direction, given that Leah Hextall was almost all of the broadcast. There were spaces where Cassie and Linda could have entered and did not, leaving jarring gaps of complete silence between Hextall's PbP.

I’d rather listen to Pierre McGuire read War and Peace cover to cover than one more game of Leah Hextall. Just excruciating.

Keller is a completely different player.

Many players break out in their fifth year, and it looks like Keller is one of them. Hopefully, this holds true with Hayton as well.

 

[TheLegend]

 

[Jakey53]

I'm having a hard time understanding how any team can be worse than the Coyotes without actively trying to be bad. It's mind-boggling honestly.

The hockey god's at work.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Clearly, showing interest has no merit.

I honestly had no idea Cassie was even on the broadcast until the 1st intermission, she barely spoke at all throughout the game. Really weird dynamics between the 3 of them.

Ha..well Linda Cohn is a great anchor, but never imagined she’d be between the benches as an analyst. perhaps that’s why she was mostly silent..she didn’t either lol. I much prefer Hextall over Mcconnell any day. Can’t speak to Campbell since I’ve never really heard her speak either. But if they want to go female route, Lyndsey Fry is probably a better option.

Much prefer Hextall to McConnell? I’d rather be thrown off a cliff than listen to hextall call another game.

I must say that McConnell might be tolerable if not for Nash...I'd like to hear a game without Nash and see how McConnell does, but certainly he's on the lower end of PbP guys that I enjoy listening to.

There might be some old Atlanta Thrashers broadcasts out there on youtube or something

I think Lyndsey is very good. I enjoy her and Bob.
