    @Aezetyr 23 дня назад +25

    I fuckin love Mickey Redmond. I've been listening to his stories, his commentating through the good years and the bad and the man is a professional. He is the model; the mold for color commentating in hockey. His voice is a cultural touchstone for Detroiters and I certainly miss him when he's not calling a game. I make it a point to listen to each time he is on the air. I know he is getting up there in age and the hockey world will be severely diminished when he calls it a day. I'll be devastated for sure. Cherish what you have because before you know it, it's over.
    Now for the other side.
    I do not fucking care about gambling. I do not care about the odds. I do not care about your fantasy team. I do not care about any of that bullshit. If you want to burn your money in that crucible that's your choice. I simply do not fucking care. Calling the game based on gambling diminishes the sport. It ruins the enjoyment of the sport. It ruins how the sport is covered by the media. It ruins how the sport is communicated from the fans/media to the players and coaches. It is a cancer on the sport. Now with Fanduel handling a shitload of regional games it has only gotten worse. Yeah there is a lot of contractual need to push desperate people to start gambling, I get it. They gotta get paid, no matter how much integrity or credibility is lost, At least with the more seasoned PBP and color announcers they focus on the actual game and not the BS with gambling.

    Since i only have basic cable, i can’t watch the Canadiens games in French on Saturday night, so i listen to the radio broadcast. This accomplishes a number of things for me: i don’t have to listen to gambling ads or odds during the game, the announcers always describe the game play, and i get to hear French descrptions of the games since i’m francophone. The only downside, of which i am used to now, is the 25 second delay between the game play and the description (it’s internet radio, probably why). But i’ll take that deal any day now…

    One thing I like in broadcasts is when the commentator is knowledgeable and can explain why certain stuff is happening when it does. I have learned a lot of interesting stuff during hockey broadcasts that I hadent noticed before about obscure rules that dont come up often or even how broadcasts work behind the scenes. I will give mike johnson a lot of credit in that department, though he is far from perfect the guy knows his stuff and is interesting to listen to. He picks out plays and rule violations instantly. He will suddenly go "oop that was a hand pass" and then play will go on for 60 more seconds before a goal and then suddenly it will get called back for a hand pass. Most commentators arent that astute.
    Something I hate is how broadcasts handle puck drop. You google an nhl game, it says the game starts at 7, but it doesnt. Puck drop could be at 7:03, or it could be at 7:23. It drives me nuts. This isnt an issue with other sports. If football or basketball says it starts at 7, that ball is usually play by 7:05.

    My favorite play-by-play guy ever in any sport EVER is Jim Hughson. I'm not sure where people rank him among sports commentators, but for me, he's one of one. Hope he can return to commentary sometime in the future.

      @TheProph7 22 дня назад +2

      Yeah, and I'd specifically rank Hughson at the top of the list of PxP guys that know EXACTLY when to shut up and let the action speak for itself. John Shorthouse is also high up on that list for me, though I've noticed a few stumbles over the last few years where he could have just kept quiet and let the action run a bit longer. Sometimes the best thing to say, is nothing at all.

      I remember one of his double-entendres when he was the #1 guy for CBC. "Finger up the middle". As far as letting the action speak for itself, I think of watching baseball games. Let's face it, there's a lot of dead time in baseball. Good commentators know when to fill that dead time with talk and storytelling, and know when to shut up and let the game breathe.

    national broadcast bias towards big market teams/against non-traditional hockey market teams is so blatantly obvious these days. as a lifelong Dallas stars fan this is abundantly clear when we play teams like Colorado, Chicago, Boston, and Minnesota. it's even more potent during playoffs.
    Bob Wischusen and Eddie Olczyk are particularly egregious on this front
    also can we talk about how good of a color analyst Daryl Reaugh is?

    Governments will soon make the gambling ads go away. Canada always seems to follow the lead of the UK after a few years, and in the UK, gambling ads are not permitted to be aired before a certain time in the evening, typically after kids have gone to bed. Professional athletes are also prohibited from endorsing any gambling sponsor or activity. I imagine the Canadian government will take the same approach eventually.
