BRUINS GDT GAME 6 8:46 PM - ESPN showcases likely Calder winner and also Bedard - ESPN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[SPLBRUIN]

Phantom penalty on TF.

 

[Number8]

Only thing uglier than that period was the “hook” on Freddie

 

[22Brad Park]

Weak call on Freddy but only time I heard his name entire period I think

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

The melodrama over how “bad” the national broadcast is 12 seconds into every game never ceases to amaze me.

“Hello, I’m Sean McDonough, welcome to…”

Half the board: “OMG THE ESPN BROADCAST IS UNBEARABLE!!!!!”

 

[missingchicklet]

Joke threshold.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Gryz was hooked like it was 1998 on the prior breakout pass and I figured the refs were game managing and thinking there’s been too many calls so they didn’t make it.


But then they call that “hook”.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Soft call. Pretty blah period. Not terrible, apart from a couple of bad breakdowns, team is skating ok but the chemistry on offense isn't there yet.

Bedard has a lethal shot.

 

[dangermike]

Soft hook but if I’m noticing the bruins putting their sticks in questionable spots, the refs definitely are too.

For once it even is good. Feraro loves the Bruins.

A slightly annoying Pierre McGuire clone but not a biased fool.

 

[NDiesel]

Zacha needs to start showing me more. Just not playmaking.

For a guy with no points I actually think he has looked pretty solid

Oh woops guess he has one point.

The volume is all off. I can barely hear Sean and Ray especially when the camera is along the board. All I can hear are the skates on the ice and it is like nails on a chalkboard after awhile

They took the goal away so……

 

[bwdrums1]

I might need to turn the audio off soon here, this is so bad.

Still better than listening to Jack slur his way through a game, to me, anyway.

You can set your watch to it every time a bruins game is nationally broadcast.

It’s embarrassing how bothered some people are by it

Hahaha everyone is entirely too used to Jack Edwards drooling over every single bruins players breathe that anything contrary is unbearable.

I have no problem with them plying up Bedard. The kid is specialand this league needs all the special it can get.

Playing it up is one thing, but it's just been overkill since day one. They try and make the most routine things seem like amazing plays because they want to hype up Bedard. The NHL has marketable stars..... but the NHL has never figured out how to do it.

Hmm that’s interesting.

Didn’t notice it this last period, but now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m sure it’s all I’ll hear.

That seems like a bonus setting, anything that mutes Sean M is a great thing

I don’t know why people are so opposed to focus being on non-Bruins players.

Haha guilty as f***ing charged.

Its probably RCN and it’s shit product.

i don’t mind Sean.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Sloppy, lots of cross ice passes to nobody. Forbort was weak. The Prince of Weymouth with a terrible giveaway, reminiscent of game 2 vs. the Blues. Too many blocked shots.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Haven't had any issue with Sean McDonough tonight. Guy is awesome and calls great CFB games on Saturdays.

Sean does good work. Mr. Buccigross drives me nuts.

 

[ON3M4N]

ESPN lol..."we don't normally show disallowed goals but its Bedard." Then they go on to rave about his disallowed goal that was a one-timer in the slot with no one near him off of a gift pass. A goal that a lot of NHLer's would score
