I mean every single person who spoke on a Kraken broadcast including everyone in the intermissions.

I'd advice you to go and watch/listen to other teams broadcast and tell me again how much you don't like the Kraken broadcast....

Go and watch some of the Wild broadcasts from last year and come back to me lol

I know it mentioned something about JT in the post does that mean JT is out or do you think it will be more of a split between JT and Olczyk?

I thought JT was great for his first year of doing it

It states that it will be a three man broadcast everytime Olczyk's on.

I'd advice you to understand I'm Canadian. Do I need to say more? I shouldn't.

The whole ESPN crew is a bigger joke though. I had a hard time believing a network so large and rich would come up with that bush league crew. Clearly they do not value hockey much.

Aside from being Canadian and growing up with all the HNIC stuff, I also grew up around this, so I'm spoiled rotten.

I guess you must be pulling your hair having to watch those liveless TSN/Sportsnet broadcasts that don't allow for any actual team broadcast anymore.

It's nice that you've had such a good broadcast when you were younger and I still don't have a problem with a guy like Forslund.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Anything is an upgrade over the bunch that worked this season. If it was up to me I'd change them all. It was amateur hour.

You now have the equivalent of a National broadcast. Forslund is top 3 PBP guy if not the best. Alison Lukan is excellent. Wish we had all three. While the Kraken may not ice the best team now, they now have the best regional broadcast crew.

This is always going to be subjective.

I can easily see Forslund not being on a lot of people's top 5 list.

Personally, I think Forslund is pretty good, but his off kilter wit and cheesy humor might rub some listeners the wrong way.

While I am thrilled Seattle picked up Forslund and not some homer like Mike Moser from Colorado or Dave Goucher in Vegas, he is still a far cry from Doc Emrick, imo, but to each their own

 

[The Marquis]

Well, Doc is retired.

For me he was #2 behind Doc

So that's why I lost all that hair, mystery solved.

I actually have no idea what you're talking about.

For American teams I think that might actually be Tampa (because they stole Dave Randorf out of Sportsnet). Hard to say though. Canadian broadcasts for hockey are simply a huge cut above.

Pffft........they're pretty dull....

Nothing like us germans.

He’s good but actually liked Rick Peckham better and actually would listen to their telecast over our team’s broadcast. Of course Engblom is excellent.

Thanks, folks, for allowing me time on your team’s board.

So… does that mean the Allen Americans are no longer a Kraken affiliate? I was just seeing some joyous kraken related stuff from Allen… so that’s weird.

CORRECT.... most ECHL Affiliations are 1 year, some are multiple....

 

[tank44]

Some of the ECHL affiliations are weird. Many cases there are ECHL teams within the NHL team's coverage area and no affiliation.

Allen TX - not with Stars
Boise ID - not with Kraken or Knights
Kansas City - not with Blues

Definitely a fan of the DW Jr. add. He has a done a pretty good job with the Sharks over the last few drafts.

Frans Nielsen being Kraken player development is so unbelievably on brand. If he were 28 and available at the expansion draft, he'd be a Kraken. Dude was almost exactly .5 ppg over his NHL career. Pretty much the standard ppg for the top 3 lines in Seattle.
