Is Ladd at it again?

Maybe Wheeler took his revenge?

 

[ICdave]

Usual lines and D pairs today at practice. Pardy jumped up to Byfuglien's spot mid practice. Coach said he would be fine and is expected to play.

Also a media member got a bear hug from a player.

Audio: Ladd and Lowry.

[ICdave]

Topics: On Byfuglien’s absence from practice mid way through it. On the performance of Tyler Myers. Whose idea was the hug? On the renewed commitment to defence. Does the trade deadline factor in to his thought process at all? If this team is a selling team at the deadline what does that do to a room? Do they need goalies to steal games? Taking advantage of team’s who play the Wild the night before.

Maybe he'll dress against us?

Speaking of Munz, I actually didn't mind him last night, sounds better on TV than on the radio. And I usually don't like Munz but thought he was fine last night.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

 

[Gil Fisher]

Both Beyak and Munz have the pipes for pbp, but Beyak is too comfortable and talks too much. I'm not sure Munz wouldn't be the same after a few years on TV. Really don't like it when the pbp guy gives us his insights.

 

[winnipegger]

Anyone who doesn't like Beyak is taking crazy pills. He is the best guy to call a hockey game bar none. I want Beyak to read the morning news, preach at church, give me a speeding ticket, and break the news of my wife's pregnancy to me.

 

[KCjetsfan]

Beyak is bottom third in the league. Only this year have I watched the jets broadcast more than opposition, and I feel like I'm punishing myself in doing so.

I wish the Jets would hire him already for Jets TV. He's such a fan boy it's hard to take him seriously in any type of journalistic role, right back to his time with the Moose.

 

[Bartho]

Beyak is in no way "bottom third of the league". I'm not saying he's the best there is, but after having Centre Ice and watching a bunch of other regional broadcasts I had a new appreciation for the local TSN team.

That said, I thought Munz did fairly well yesterday.

 

[Ducky10]

Bottom 3rd...lol! The guy is good.

Really don't like it when the pbp guy gives us his insights.

Even if it's good insight?

Well said brother. Beyak seems to get criticized for, what, having certain sayings like 'tight turns'? Which pbp guy doesn't?
Edmonds on the other hand sounds like a carnival barker. And no one should let him interview a player again after 10 minutes of questions to Trouba about his dog and vacuuming habits, but nothing about resigning with the club.

 

[HannuJ]

Jets fans deserve Sportsnet announcers.

 

[Kent C Tugood]

Jets fans deserve Sportsnet announcers.

I'd rather hear an emergency test pattern than some nights on Sportsnet.

Beyak: "I'm sorry to tell you this winnipegger, but your wife is pregnant, and you're not the father."

winnipegger: "WOW! Dennis Beyak!!! Can I have an autograph?"



Seriously though, I fully agree. Beyak is always into it. He has some sort of dynamic going on where the intensity of his voice builds masterfully with the intensity of the play, which greatly enhances the broadcast.

I find all his stats and sayings an endearing quirk, rather than a maddening habit.

 

[winnipegger]

Beyak knows his ****, and he's genuinely into the games. His butter soft baritone could stop any baby from crying and/or bring peace to the middle east. I think I have my new avatar.

Carnival Barker sounds about right. What's with the fake voice

 

[Lomac]

Penalties seem to really confuse Beyak, every game he can't work out which side is getting one.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Beyak is bottom third in the league. Only this year have I watched the jets broadcast more than opposition, and I feel like I'm punishing myself in doing so.

I haven't heard enough of the other announcers around the league to comment on Beyak's placement in the "pecking order".

But I can say I would take the TSN broadcast all day over ANY Sportsnet broadcast. The commentators know so little about the team and make really dumb random comments about the Jets that just aren't true or very well informed.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I like Beyak as PBP. He's not perfect by any means, and abuses tight turns/pair of 55s/rubbed out/close quarters, but he's not a total homer and could be a heck of a lot worse.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Bottom 3rd...lol! The guy is good.

I've learned to like Beyak but he gives us the 1000 words AND the picture. Trouble is they don't match. He is usually 3 passes behind the play. He is easy to listen to though and entertaining. But if you think he is a good pbp man then you have never heard a good pbp man.

GO JETS! GO!

Time to beat down the Red Wings!
