This seems like it will be a major topic this year and I figured we should have a place to talk about it rather than fill up the Observations thread with this content.
Though there were many things that made me shake my head last night, Stu and Willy not showing better hockey knowledge and missing a teaching moment on the following play was really frustrating.
While reviewing James Neal's first goal there was no explanation of the importance of Forsberg missing that puck. As the play moved to the offensives right, Forsberg, a right handed shot, looks like he is going to get a shot which causes Bishop to commit to the short side post since that is almost the only place Forsberg could put that puck. Instead it goes to Neal, a left handed shot, who is in position to open up his body and shoot to the far post.
This is the type of thing that you'll hear on other broadcasts that our guys miss and that sucks for newer fans and youngsters that want to learn the game.
