They’re the best at what they do and that’s the reason they’ve been at the top so long. They have to be better with their hockey coverage but that’s obviously coming with the rights. Other networks without broadcast rights don’t touch the NHL either. Quote

Idk dude, I’m not sure if a lot of people know about the small family business in Hartford, Connecticut or their other branches throughout the country. Maybe if they get a chance to hold the biggest platform of any network in sports they’ll get more attention. Quote

College GameDay is the only thing they do well. Quote

thewookie1 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 They really need to teach those ESPN guys more stuff. "3 NY Metropolitan Division Teams" "Pronounced Gourde as Gourd-e" "Screwed up Fleury's position" Not to mention I don't know if that guy will ever be able to travel in the Buffalo-Toronto region after tonight.

thewookie1 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 I will give Dom Moore credit though, he looks better here than he did with NBC for whatever reason. Quote

They are messing stuff up, and apparently being the largest sports media company in the world doesn’t mean that they can get all their microphones to work. I do like this format better than the in studio style thing with 6 people sitting around a desk and they each have exactly 24 seconds to talk so no one gets the time to make a real point about anything. That style of thing that the big networks seem to love is not unique to espn though. Quote

Zamboni Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 This whole presentation is fluffy, lame, unnecessary and yet … not surprised. Quote
thewookie1 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 If I had to sum this whole thing up so far; great overall idea but ESPN's guy seems incompetent in regards to hockey. Quote

When the grubbing became worlds more important than the sports they started sucking. When ESPN was part of the basic cable package they were so much better. Quote

The broadcast is certainly a little awkward and the Panthers thing was a joke because they had just done exactly that. Shame on Jordan Eberle for saying Seattle has never had a cup. Quote

Hoss Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Posted July 22, 2021 One of my buddies played HS hockey with Colin Blackwell and said he wasn’t sure if he’d go to Seattle until earlier today and has heard Seattle and NY talked about a number of different options. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 Has any official pick been different from what was reported today? If not, I'll probably turn this off Quote
Hoss Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Posted July 22, 2021 Should’ve had Cammi Meatballs introduce the Sabres pick considering her brother is the head coach. 1 Quote
Curt Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 When are they going to announce the side trades that accompany and prompted some of these picks. For the Vegas draft didn’t they do it at the actual expansion draft? Quote
