That's funny. That Bjugstad line started out very slow, shuffled the lines and now only Crouse is pointless, but he looked better against the Blues.

He also said Keller isn't a vocal leader. He leads by example. Keller, Crouse and maybe a Schmaltz would be good. Speaking of Schmaltz, I thought he was going to be a goner after all the talk of us being broke.
I really enjoy watching Maccelli and Cooley. They are so good on their skates. Vision and passing are first class, and they hardly ever loose the puck.

Do you REALLY want to hear more of Todd Walsh's voice?

What can’t believe we had a chance to get rid of this crew and didn’t take it. We have all the pieces just sitting there to save money and improve quality at the same time. The radio team is better than the tv team. Just simulcast. Easy peasy.

CHL.tv has it right. They stream the in-arena, jumbotron video feed, and you can toggle between either the home or the away radio broadcast. Since I have no rooting interest, I pick whichever is less annoying. It’s great. One thing I’ve learned listening to dozens and dozens of CHL radio broadcasts is they 90% of them are better than McConnell and Nash.

I've given up expecting this franchise to do the commonsensical thing with regard to broadcasting. Hell, Meruelo owns broadcasting entities of his own; he should have known better than to put his games on a secondary digital channel that half the Valley can't even get on an antenna, and then put the radio side onto a network that preempts live games for Cardinals and Suns talk shows (last night, hearing Heethuis say, "At 6pm, the rest of the game will be on the Arizona Sports app," was one of the most embarrassing things I've experienced as a Coyotes fan in two decades and it has a LOT of competition).
Stream the f***ing games, guys. Jeez.

I guess we can hope that things come together at the same time. They get an arena built around the same time they figure out media, around the same time the team become a legit playoff team, poised for deep runs. Everything all together at once. It’ll be like an expansion in Vegas or Seattle. Actual good timing and everything working together. Half the valley sports fans think the coyotes relocated to Canada five years ago anyway.
The only D that really stood out to me were Durzi, Dumba, and Dermott. Another solid game from Dermott. Durzi is definitely skilled…some nifty passes to go with the goal and he’s been ok defensively. I haven’t noticed him getting burned too much. Dumba looked good, was jumping into the play and solid in his own end. Moser was steady and solid…since he’s been playing with Durzi maybe he’s just not jumping up into the play more on purpose. Stecher I guess was alright,,,honestly didn’t notice him much other than one good scoring chance he had.

Oooooh, never thought of it that way, BUT at least when he's just babbling by himself, I can mute the tv....
Heeter is good for radio not TV. We have to go outside to find someone worth their weight in salt.
I think the D played their best game of the year.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing from the Blues broadcast last night but Jamie Rivers was actually breaking the game down and educating the audience. I'm so used to only hearing "Whoaaaaa, Are you kidding me????, [insert nose joke], [insert McConnell wardrobe joke]" from Nash[er].
Rivers was breaking down our PP and the different plays we were running with our wingers when the puck got deep. I've literally never heard anything like that once in all the years I've watched this crew.
One game ago, I was impressed that Dermott was escaping the press box rotation.
Now, he lead all Coyotes skaters in TOI last night.

This was the first game broadcast in HD also, which was nice. Having a great game and being able to always see the puck was great!

Sean Burke was a guest color commentator many many many years ago and it was incredible. So insightful and educational.
I thought the D has played better than expected this year (so far). That and net minding bodes well for us. I think we have 6 forwards capable of 50+ points, I can't remember the last time that was possible even. Scoring for once, won't be our biggest problem (I hope).
I liked Gerry Cheevers when he was the color commentator for the Whalers for doing the same thing. Goalies have unique perspectives as they have to constantly second guess how a play develops.

Paul Bisonette adds better commentary than Nash does and he was an even bigger scrub lol. Love when the commentary is like coach's comments would be.

I read through the Blues GDT last night and I’m finding it amusing that they can’t stand their broadcast team either.
Must be an HF thing.
While most of you here don’t care for our broadcast team the vast majority of people out there who watch this team do.

Broadcast teams should not be allowed to survive prolonged periods of losing. As in year after year. I think there’s something about being forced to watch two dunces whistle past the graveyard and put lipstick on a pick 82 times a year for years on end that makes you hate them a little. Tyson and Matt are the sound track of failure and disappointment.I read through the Blues GDT last night and I’m finding it amusing that they can’t stand their broadcast team either.

Honestly they’re fine to me…they’re both corny goofballs so they do ok together. McConnell usually bugs me more than Nash for some reason. It would be nice to have someone sort of like Tony Romo for the NFL, where he’s able to breakdown plays and give more insights into the finer nuances of hockey to educate more people…but Nash does ok most of the time. It’s Walsh that’s the one for me that drives me nuts. I’m used to him after so many years, but man, he’s insufferable.I read through the Blues GDT last night and I’m finding it amusing that they can’t stand their broadcast team either.

Well Strader survived a few. Only left because he got a national gig.
Just mute Walsh and do something else during the intermission. It’s 17 minutes x 2 to get something else done.
