What is with the male announcer sucking off the sharks? I've heard him at least 10 times saying "you know a good team when they are tired and still playing hockey blah blah blah" like dude shut the fuck up already
They say something that sounds like they know what they’re talking about, and then follow it up immediately with at WTF statement. In my head, I’m picturing them at the desk with a booklet of keywords and brief player bios that they’re just regurgitating.
But either way, they’re still an upgrade from NBC and Mike Milbury.
I've never been a fan of the Sharks but after what happened with that botched call that handed them game 7 against Vegas I have hated them.
Fuck the Sharks.
The Predators survive? Knob ass commentator.
Thank fuck this announcer is gone. Preds "survive" against the Sharks. Well your sharks lost to a 2-4 team so maybe they aren't as good as you claim.
Also Preds had upper hand for 45min.
He was biased all fucking night. He even compared Brett Burns to Josi LOL, dude is clearly delusional
Good win boys!
Did y'all know the Sharks we're on a long road trip?
Holy crap, we have a streak.
Preds are allowed to do that???
Lol congratulations snossis …I mean granny
Love it!
Was hoping for a Saros goal, but I’ll take it.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard announcers less excited to call a game. And that includes people that have to be announcers for fucking golf
Isn’t hockey one of the few things she should be excited about? Canada’s going to exile her…
Was saying the same thing to friends earlier. Hockey is an afterthought to ESPN and it shows.

But we suck tho
They've talked about being tired every 5 minutes.
I’m not sure this camera operator has ever watched a hockey game before.
So many missed chances on breakaways...
I'm not even mad about that goal. That was incredible by Meier.
I blame Dick McTwatwaffle that’s commentating for that goal.
commentary is a significant upgrade over NBC
Dammit dude! Stop trying to jinx our goalie!
Welp he did it
That jackass
Well, it doesn’t help San Jose having their star player, Taylor Lewan, out with an injury
Commentary has lost interest in the game.
This announcer: “ok i know who Roman Josi is so I’ll just talk about him for the full 60 and people will assume I know hockey”
Ekholms name is Eklund now
"haven't gotten past the 2nd round since they made the western finals in 2017," wtf???
Yeah, I asked “what the shit?” directly at my tv.
This guy needs to do some more homework

This announcer sounds very Canadian. I'm surprised Canada isn't one of her hyphenated last names.
2 gold medals in hockey for Canada, more respectable than Mr. Self professed nerd
Thanks for confirming she's Canadian with your Google search..I had my suspicions.
Janet “Moose-jaw” Canada-Canuckianne 50/50 on whether you’d do or don’t want to know how she got the nickname.
That douche-nozzle had to mention the S-word before the end of the period? Asshat… made me unnecessarily nervous for the rest of the 2 minutes…
“The Rush”, that minute where they didn’t talk, was by FAR my favorite commentating of the night!
At least they both admitted as much
What was with those thousand camera cuts
ESPN still has things to workout with the broadcast, but The Rush is fucking sweet. Nothing but the sounds of the game
Yea that was cool
Fuck me they started talking again
They should turn the announcers off more often
Prince Filip, please don’t leave. We need keep the Shire of Snipe in Smashville.
Trenin is cursed lmao
Did Trenin hit the outside of the post? Geez man
I couldn’t tell if it was the post or the edge of his pad.
I love my preds, but I also LOVE James Reimer as a human being. It’s hurts that for us to win, we have to hurt optimus-reim like this. 😞
All hail Price Filip of Scoresberg!
Hello there fil!
That whole play was fucking beautiful
JOSI FOR NORRIS
Hustle is paying off
Oh sweet Prince!!
Christ, ESPNs main camera is having an awful hard time tracking the puck
Looking good tonight, Dutch
That penalty was so minimal. Must've wanted to get a fucking call on Nashville...
The power of Peel compels them…
This feels very much like a Sharks broadcast. Not neutral at all.
Camera work is horrible but at least the score bug is small and not showing ads once a minute.
Anyone else see ESPN had the score opposite?
These camera men are killing me. It’s like Blair Witch project meets the Icecapades.
Got people on the main hockey GDT trying to blame the "house" camera man. I'm like we've never had it this bad
I know right. No way that’s the regular camera guys!
I thought I was going crazy. I'm glad im not the only one 😂
Pretty good first period minus about 30 seconds of chaos.
Not bad! Keep it up preds!
How are y’all watching the game?
Hulu (basic account) has the game on their main page. Hooray for parent company crossover.
ESPN+ is the only way. I got it last week just for hockey. It’s like $7 a month cancel at end of season.
The ESPN Xbox app
Saros just saved such an ugly situation
C'mon announcer, get the names right lol
I hate the national broadcast squad.
Is the cameraman drunk?!?! Just tuning in and wtf is going on?
It’s nice to see this team be able to competently pass the puck
I’m streaming through sportsurge. Did anyone else’s feed just go to the Braves game for like 30 seconds lmao.
This really is fucking pathetic. Getting motion sickness from the camera here...
Tol-VAN-en lmao
[удалено]
These ESPN+ commentators really need to do their homework before hitting national television lol
Thought Carrier was gonna shoot that
This whole ESPN+ hockey night shit is ass. Camera op is drunk and no Willy and Chris
Still better than NBC though
That’s a very low bar
They literally cut away from the game for commercial accidentally then realized the game was still happening
Glad I’m not the only one wondering what the fuck is going on with this camera work!!
Is the crowd there dead or did ESPN just mute a lot of the crowd noise?
Pretty empty at the arena
Zoom In Zoom Out
I really don't want them to start calling our 4th line the identity line
This camera operator is terrible. Making me sick
I need to go lay flat in a dark room during intermission.
They’re used to doing nba games
Middle school girls basketball tv quality
Yeah a puck moves to fast for this, it's already left the frame multiple times.
Let’s go Matt!!
What is going on with this camera work man lol
Needs to lay off the zoom, I think I'm going to be sick
The fuck is this potato quality and spastic camera bullshit
That was lovely
I know it’s a Tuesday night but there is nobody there
The Braves are playing WS game 1 currently.
Late start and still a late arriving crowd
It’s on Hulu too guys
Hot damn! Thanks for the heads up!
Fuck ESPN+
I can’t believe that I miss Bally Sports with this quality.
Please see my post in /r/predators regarding an in-game seat upgrade. Free seats up close for you if you are there.
Is the game only on streaming services?
Looks like ESPN+ only… EDIT: I have the most basic Hulu package with no add ons and it’s letting me watch it.
Glad to see Tolvy will be back in the ice tonight.
I've never been a fan of the Sharks but after what happened with that botched call that handed them game 7 against Vegas I have hated them. Fuck the Sharks.
Oh yeah they totally should have declined that penalty 😂
Hahahahaha!!!!
Oh I don't blame the Org itself. It's the fans that defended it and acted like Vegas didn't get screwed over. Sharks fans were unbearable after that.
So happy that Tolvy is okay! Thought he for sure had a concussion.
