Is there a worse broadcast then the Boston Bruins?

[skuzzycuzz]

Just watching the Nashville/Boston game and PB scored a goal and they gloated about how nice it was etc etc, going through the replay 4 or 5 times on the broadcast. To anyone with a brain it was obvious the only reason he scored was because Roman Josi bumped Rinnes skate and knocked him over. Not once did they mention it, and then during the intermission some other twits were talking about the goal and once again not one person mentioned Rinne getting knocked over essentially giving PB an empty net.

This is on top of him basically calling any penalties towards Boston laughable bad calls.. I know I’m ranting but does anyone else get supremely agitated listening to this guy? He is unbelievable. End of rant

Brickley’s accent is tough on the ear but he’d be tolerable with a less clownish PBP guy.

I actually don't mind him, you can tell he's somewhat reasonable and not as big of a homer as Edwards who is just insane.

I’m watching the same game and think the same thing every time NESN does a broadcast. It’s awful. Anything the Bruins do is praised beyond belief, anything the opposition does is disregarded for one reason or another.

Bruins and White Sox have the two worst broadcasters in sports imo.

Denis Potvin is so terrible it doesn't matter who's doing PBP. He was awful in Ottawa, awful in Florida. But on top of being ridiculously biased, he doesn't know what he's talking about either.

 

[JoVel]

Yeah Florida is just horrible.

 

[Rowlet]

but yes

I'll forever remember when he called for a suspension for Kucherov for his hit on Barkov last season. Said that if it wasn't a star player it would've been one. But I mean we had Chief and everyone loved him so can we really complain about someone being biased?

Who cares? I don't get why people get triggered by homer announcers? They are homers. Big deal. 90% of people watching that is a Bruins fan. They are catering to the fan base.

I get that Edwards is irritating and gets homerish (especially when a Bruins player is in a fight that he's clearly losing) but he wouldn't have a job if he doesn't keep up that persona.

Nesn also has the worst production I’ve ever seen.

Always having audio and video technical difficulties.

Panthers one is the most blatantly homer one I've come across.

Leaf fans aren't allowed to even have Joe Bowen on their local feed or else people cry about bias. The stations therefore don't employ him to try and fight that image. If we can't have it no other fans should either. They should call every game evenly.

 

[K Fleur]

but yes

The super depressed “aaand it’s 1-nothing Detroit”

 

[Tom Brady]

The pens for sure.

I agree.. it’s equally terrible. Even when Edwards isn’t being a homer though, just some of the things he says or the way he says them.. it’s wow.

 

[vanarchy]

No.

That is the decision of Sportsnet.

NESN can do whatever it wants. Leafs don't have homer announcers but I don't really watch hockey for the opinions of dinosaurs anyways. The only guy I like listening to is Ferraro on TSN. Everyone else is shit all around.

Joe Bowen would often get sidetracked talking to Millen and not call the game for over 5 minutes. I don't miss him much either. He was good but radio suits him better.

I remember the Av’s being horrible too but haven’t watched anything from their feed in a few years. Thought maybe they’d changed.

 

[MaxDummy]

but yes

Reminds me of NHL99 on the N64... When you'd be ahead by like 7 the PBP guy would just say

"goal".
"scores"

Yup. Theres a reason we have separated team broadcast and not a shared broadcast lol they're gonna be biased almost no matter what because of that. Don't see people complaining about intermission shows being biased lol

 

[moosemeister]

Watch a coyotes broadcast and you’ll want to take a bath with your toaster plugged in

 

[Bruins93]

Then don't watch it

 

[SherVaughn30]

Pens!

 

[stepdad gaary]

watching them not grasp the most obvious goalie interference call of the year was pretty comical
