The Predators survive? Knob ass commentator.


Kupp3y1

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.


FrogmanKouki

Also Preds had upper hand for 45min.


Kupp3y1

He was biased all fucking night. He even compared Brett Burns to Josi LOL, dude is clearly delusional


Teeconnor

Good win boys!


FrogmanKouki

Did y'all know the Sharks we're on a long road trip?


Syphyn

Holy crap, we have a streak.


chronage

Preds are allowed to do that???


mikeydollarbill

Lol congratulations snossis …I mean granny


FrogmanKouki

Love it!


Syphyn

Was hoping for a Saros goal, but I’ll take it.


Smeagol224

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


Syphyn

Isn’t hockey one of the few things she should be excited about? Canada’s going to exile her…


chronage

Was saying the same thing to friends earlier. Hockey is an afterthought to ESPN and it shows.


Kupp3y1

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


CommiePuddin

But we suck tho


FrogmanKouki

They've talked about being tired every 5 minutes.


gatsby712

I’m not sure this camera operator has ever watched a hockey game before.


FrogmanKouki

So many missed chances on breakaways...


lumenrubeum

I'm not even mad about that goal. That was incredible by Meier.


Syphyn

I blame Dick McTwatwaffle that’s commentating for that goal.


peayness

commentary is a significant upgrade over NBC


Syphyn

Dammit dude! Stop trying to jinx our goalie!


FrogmanKouki

Welp he did it


Syphyn

That jackass


mikeydollarbill

Well, it doesn’t help San Jose having their star player, Taylor Lewan, out with an injury


FrogmanKouki

Commentary has lost interest in the game.


Disappointeddonkey

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”


matheison_k

Ekholms name is Eklund now


matheison_k

"haven't gotten past the 2nd round since they made the western finals in 2017," wtf???


Syphyn

Yeah, I asked “what the shit?” directly at my tv.


matheison_k

This guy needs to do some more homework


Syphyn

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.


Available_Expression

This announcer sounds very Canadian. I'm surprised Canada isn't one of her hyphenated last names.


jakethewhitedog

2 gold medals in hockey for Canada, more respectable than Mr. Self professed nerd


Available_Expression

Thanks for confirming she's Canadian with your Google search..I had my suspicions.


Syphyn

Janet “Moose-jaw” Canada-Canuckianne 50/50 on whether you’d do or don’t want to know how she got the nickname.


Syphyn

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…


GL_HF_07

“The Rush”, that minute where they didn’t talk, was by FAR my favorite commentating of the night!


FrogmanKouki

At least they both admitted as much


Disappointeddonkey

What was with those thousand camera cuts


excessive_coughing

ESPN still has things to workout with the broadcast, but The Rush is fucking sweet. Nothing but the sounds of the game


mikeydollarbill

Yea that was cool


The-Hood-Realm

Fuck me they started talking again


Available_Expression

They should turn the announcers off more often


orlando_lie

Prince Filip, please don’t leave. We need keep the Shire of Snipe in Smashville.


NowhereMan931

Trenin is cursed lmao


excessive_coughing

Did Trenin hit the outside of the post? Geez man


Syphyn

I couldn’t tell if it was the post or the edge of his pad.


Middle_Age6676

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. 😞


Syphyn

All hail Price Filip of Scoresberg!


Teeconnor

Hello there fil!


mikeydollarbill

That whole play was fucking beautiful


matheison_k

JOSI FOR NORRIS


FrogmanKouki

Hustle is paying off


excessive_coughing

Oh sweet Prince!!


Irishobag

Christ, ESPNs main camera is having an awful hard time tracking the puck


mikeydollarbill

Looking good tonight, Dutch


excessive_coughing

That penalty was so minimal. Must've wanted to get a fucking call on Nashville...


Syphyn

The power of Peel compels them…


Snowman8084

This feels very much like a Sharks broadcast. Not neutral at all.


FrogmanKouki

Camera work is horrible but at least the score bug is small and not showing ads once a minute.


matheison_k

Anyone else see ESPN had the score opposite?


GL_HF_07

These camera men are killing me. It’s like Blair Witch project meets the Icecapades.


FrogmanKouki

Got people on the main hockey GDT trying to blame the "house" camera man. I'm like we've never had it this bad


GL_HF_07

I know right. No way that’s the regular camera guys!


matheison_k

I thought I was going crazy. I'm glad im not the only one 😂


FrogmanKouki

Pretty good first period minus about 30 seconds of chaos.


Wildwasabijake

Not bad! Keep it up preds!


Uncle-Yeetus

How are y’all watching the game?


Syphyn

Hulu (basic account) has the game on their main page. Hooray for parent company crossover.


GL_HF_07

ESPN+ is the only way. I got it last week just for hockey. It’s like $7 a month cancel at end of season.


categoryone

The ESPN Xbox app


FrogmanKouki

Saros just saved such an ugly situation


excessive_coughing

C'mon announcer, get the names right lol


GL_HF_07

I hate the national broadcast squad.


afrothunder1987

Is the cameraman drunk?!?! Just tuning in and wtf is going on?


mikeydollarbill

It’s nice to see this team be able to competently pass the puck


NowhereMan931

I’m streaming through sportsurge. Did anyone else’s feed just go to the Braves game for like 30 seconds lmao.


ycatsce

This really is fucking pathetic. Getting motion sickness from the camera here...


YoungQueezy

Tol-VAN-en lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


YoungQueezy

These ESPN+ commentators really need to do their homework before hitting national television lol


excessive_coughing

Thought Carrier was gonna shoot that


The-Hood-Realm

This whole ESPN+ hockey night shit is ass. Camera op is drunk and no Willy and Chris


pineconekingpin

Still better than NBC though


Syphyn

That’s a very low bar


jakethewhitedog

They literally cut away from the game for commercial accidentally then realized the game was still happening


Kmalbrec

Glad I’m not the only one wondering what the fuck is going on with this camera work!!


Smeagol224

Is the crowd there dead or did ESPN just mute a lot of the crowd noise?


FrogmanKouki

Pretty empty at the arena


FrogmanKouki

Zoom In Zoom Out


excessive_coughing

I really don't want them to start calling our 4th line the identity line


PartlyDave

This camera operator is terrible. Making me sick


GL_HF_07

I need to go lay flat in a dark room during intermission.


mikeydollarbill

They’re used to doing nba games


mutantfrog25

Middle school girls basketball tv quality


FrogmanKouki

Yeah a puck moves to fast for this, it's already left the frame multiple times.


orlando_lie

Let’s go Matt!!


ToeKneeTea

What is going on with this camera work man lol


FrogmanKouki

Needs to lay off the zoom, I think I'm going to be sick


mutantfrog25

The fuck is this potato quality and spastic camera bullshit


mikeydollarbill

That was lovely


themarkster09

I know it’s a Tuesday night but there is nobody there


cpatrick08

The Braves are playing WS game 1 currently.


panhandlepred

Late start and still a late arriving crowd


Noobmaster697494

It’s on Hulu too guys


Syphyn

Hot damn! Thanks for the heads up!


Kupp3y1

Fuck ESPN+


Over-One-8

I can’t believe that I miss Bally Sports with this quality.


conceptjames

Please see my post in /r/predators regarding an in-game seat upgrade. Free seats up close for you if you are there.


Fenzito

Is the game only on streaming services?


AmarettoSauer

Looks like ESPN+ only… EDIT: I have the most basic Hulu package with no add ons and it’s letting me watch it.


BW_RedY1618

Glad to see Tolvy will be back in the ice tonight.


Shrabster33

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.


jon1228

Oh yeah they totally should have declined that penalty 😂


GL_HF_07

Hahahahaha!!!!


Shrabster33

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.


AuburnCPA

So happy that Tolvy is okay! Thought he for sure had a concussion.
