The entire ESPN play by play crew is garbage.

Yes, but that thing doesn't always deal in reality and Carolina are analytics darlings so I'm expecting it to be close.

McDonough has plenty of experience calling hockey. He actually called a game or two during the 1994 cup run. He also worked with JD during the 1998 Winter Olympics on CBS. He was the voice of a few Frozen Fours before ESPN lost the NHL and Gary Thorne took over. It just had been a long time for him until ESPN got it back. That said I think Bob Wischusen should be ESPN's #1. And I highly doubt Sean would even do hockey unless he was #1.

Who is this Braden Schneider you speak of? I only know of Creighton Snyder.

The demand is @EdJovanovski so the supply is plenty great enough.The supply and demand (very mostly the supply) will make that an expensive one. Dude played only 48 games for the Rangers.

He's literally ruining the experience.
I've re-watched, as an example, the Stepan-in-overtime goal a thousand times because, while I kinda hated Doc, it was an amazing, adrenaline-straight-to-my-veins call.
McDonough has called exactly one exciting goal for the Rangers in three playoff runs so far and it was Chytil's second against Tampa two years ago.
The guy is AWFUL. He's like a deflated balloon.

Wischusen isn't great but he's way, way better than McDonough. So is Kenny Albert.

FWIW I've bitched about Zibanejad many times but if he can keep this up through a Cup win I promise I'll give him a break for an entire calendar year.
I feel like the entire Panarin-Trocheck-Laf line was seeing fewer minutes than normal. Is that born out by stats?

Pair him with Ferraro who just says random nonsense and tries to pass it off as facts. He just lets feces fart out of his mouth.

Hell, Zib should never be bashed again if he does that, lol.

Bread - I wonder if it was a game management thing to keep him fresh. They were double-shifting him in the third when it got to a one-goal game. Dunno. Seemed to work out OK.
I expected that before the playoffs started and even told you all to expect that. The Canes need the money much more.

It was 56/44 Rangers so I was close. Go me.

Hate that shit. Call the game.
I guess I’m one of the “haters”.
The problem I had with him was the non stop screeching, like nails on a chalkboard. Also, the wordsmithing. His voice got so high and pitchy that my wife couldn’t watch games with me.
And while he wasn’t that biased, Pierre and Eddie certainly were, and made the broadcasts barely tolerable.

RIP, Jimmy.
When he does more, sure. He's been fine defensively but he hasn't created a ton.
