Just because it was always about Ohio in every election. We already have a 49 state flag we can return to. We can put the whole state up for tax sale. China will likely buy it. So that would really be crappy. Look how happy everyone is without Ohio in the picture. Nobody would miss Ohio.

As a Michigander, I fully endorse this idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm cool with it as long as the relatively small number of Ohioans (like me) who identify as Michiganders no matter what our drivers licenses claim are offered sanctuary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyGrips13 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 NHL Network is picking up live local broadcasts on NHL Tonight. Right now it’s San Jose at Colorado. I think it’s the Colorado broadcast. I believe the second man in the booth is Peter McNabb. To my earlier point I made in this thread, he talks too much. This is a common flaw in many former players who are in broadcasting as in-game analysts. They blab endlessly while action is going on that the trained commentator is supposed to be calling. McNabb should know better, he’s been doing this for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyGrips13 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I’m so tired of Ed Olczyk. He loves blaming goalies for every goal ever scored. He says some of the dumbest things ever. He’s linked with the Blackhawks president job. Hopefully he gets it so I don’t have to listen to him anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care who does what in life. But there is a natural fit with a deeper announcer voice and sports broadcasts. Maybe too - I'm just accustomed to it - so when there are other voices - it sounds not right to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my broadcasting teachers was female, but had this smoky, husky voice. She could have pulled off play-by-play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki1416 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I have to turn those games off. She does it for every goal and just for kicks throws it out there for random things like a really good pass or a mediocre save. No idea who she is.

Scythe Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I looked up who she is. Leah Hextall? It says her grandfather is Bryan Hextall and cousin is Ron Hextall. Not sure how all this ties together because isn't Bryan Hextall Jr Ron's father and if that's the case wouldn't that make Ron her brother? Ah forget it my head hurts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Also broadcasters that feel the need to keep proving their knowledge are quite annoying. The old time guys all just kept it cool and went with the flow. I think being drunk helped too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby34 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Steve Goldstein is pretty good, for the Florida Panthers. You should give him a listen when you can. Randy Moeller who is his color guy also is pretty good. If you get a chance, listen to Randy Moellers goal calls on the radio from 2008 or so when he did play by play.... its pretty great. He did it as a call out to Lebatard show listeners when they were a local only show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want it to sound like I have it out against female play-by-play, as there are PLENTY of bad male ones. This female in particular is just BAD.

SWalker Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Boston Bruins play by play a announcers (NESN and radio) are among the absolute worst in the league. They apparently have no clue what they are watching or what the rules are. Sad that an original 6 team’s play-by-play “announcers” are so pathetic.

loki1416 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Something that I've noticed lately. When did it become okay for the announcers to talk about the opposing teams ongoing shutout? It was always that unwritten rule to not talk about it, to jinx that goalie, but now they seem to be actively doing it. Kind of a di@k move to put it out there on live TV. Sure, have your thoughts or say it to your buddy sitting next to you, but for the announcers (who are supposed to be impartial and call the game as is) to openly talk about it, really does piss me off. Don't even care if it's a team I like/care about. LEAVE IT ALONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 ESPN is out here hiring bum announcers from other sports to do hockey. They can’t keep up with the pace of the game and clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. Thats how you end of with Leah Hextall calling a a game and saying, “ so and so takes the puck, zoobagabablabahzoomcrackbangwowohah he scores!!!!!!!” Sorry Leah but nobody won the stanley cup they just scored a goal so they’re only losing by 6 now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her voice goes right through me. I don’t want to watch any games where she’s announcing. If a dude had that type of voice, I wouldn’t want to listen, either.
