The most biased color comentators in the league

[Dean Char]

I listened to a few lighting radio broadcast and thought Esposito was especially bad then I heard Kevin Sawyer tonight and he was one of the worst ones in Canada. He made John Garrett seem enlightened. I don't hear many other bad one as I don't follow other teams especially outside of Canada, what are some others worth mentioning?

[Bank Shot]

Kelly Hrudey whines non stop about all the calls the Flames should have gotten.

 

[gojetsgo]

sawyer is awful and all jets fans have hated him for years but this is still edwards

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Jack Edwards is not a color commentator

 

[Chips]

I’m not normally that guy, but I can’t imagine the answers will have changed much from the other yearly threads, they don’t change people often

As I said I don't follow other teams broadcasts so this is new to me.

Jack Edwards is not a color commentator

Oh oops, then Andy Brickley.

 

[bustamente]

Andy Brickley wins easily followed by Bob Errey, Tyson Nash, and Brian Hayward

 

[The Moose is Loose]

The devils commentator is absolutely brutal. I had to mute it

My answer exactly.

Jack Edwards
Jim Hughson
Craig Simpson

Those guys do play-by-play, not color commentary.

Bob Errey.

Please, do mention the team(s) you are writing about. We have no idea.

 

[TheNumber4]

Jack Edwards. But I’ll give him credit that even he’ll admit the Refs f*** McDavid.

 

[CupsOverCash]

I expect Espo to be biased because he basically started the team.

 

[nORRis8]

Craig Simpson.
He has his entire head shoved up the Leafs ass so far each shoulder is touching the ass cheeks.
During broadcasts ... the other team does not exist. Rarely mentioned.

When the Habs beat the leafs last year in the playoffs I honestly thought he was going to have a total mental breakdown.

I don’t mind homers as long as they’re honest. You can support your team without pissing on the opponent.

i'd even argue that a teams broadcasters SHOULD be a certain level of biased

there's definitely a line somewhere that it kinda tips into ridiculousness beyond though

 

[Super Hans]

I just imagine I'm listening to Jesse The Body Ventura when I listen to Daneyko hoping to hear Gorilla Monsoon on the other mic.

I'd rather the color guy be biased than the play-by-play guy that the Avs always tend to hire. McNab is actually pretty neutral most of the time.

I want my tv announcers to be like… fun insiders I’m watching the game with. I could enjoy a game with fans of the other team as long as they’re cool. I don’t really need deep analysis either. But give me a heads up when cool shit is happening.

Actually I always feel like Daneyko is biased against the Devils. Every time the other team gets a chance the Devils are lucky to get out of there and when the Devils get a chance the other team played really well to diffuse it. Makes it sound like the Devils are just lucky to win anything.

 

[S E P H]

Bob Errey is by far the worst and then followed by Hayward.

Brickley is definitely pro-Bruins, but I've seen him shit on the Bruins countless number of times when they allowed a goal.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Garrett for sure, but even he's been having a hard time polishing the Canucks' turds. I really can't stand Craig Simpson anymore either, brutal Leafs homer.
