Whoever does the Pens games...terrible.
Pens guys.
Please don't tell me you mean Steigerwald.

They have to. Steigerwald was thankfully re-assigned because the new guy is miles better and has cut down on the homerism.
Errey is still there though...

Ottawa is terrible. I remember listening to Vegas at Ottawa last season on XM and they referenced “the good Karlsson” about 10 times when doing play by play. Came across as total jack wagons.Ottawa's radio team get worse and worse. Very hard to listen to, spend more time joking around with each other than calling the game.
Dean Brown calling it "sudden victory overtime" drives me bananas.
If your play-by-play guy doesn't do anything but local teams that's probably a sign that he's A). not thought too highly of out of market and B). prone to bias.
I can tune into Big 10 basketball and hear Joe B. or the international broadcast of things like the Winter Classic between teams he's unaffiliated with, that to me is a sign that he's well regarded. Most of the guys in this thread are confined to only doing hockey commentary or local stuff, I think that's clear sign that they only appeal to locals.
Seriously you think Bowen whines and complains about the refs? I suggest you look at this video from last years playoff series between Toronto and Boston, when Edwards complained about the whistle being blown when the Bruins got possession of the puck since Andreas Johnsson looked to injured and couldn't get up. There was a play earlier in that same game which was blown dead because of the refs whistle since one of the Bruins looked to be injured when the Leafs had possession of the puck and I'm sure Edwards did not mind it being stopped at that time.You have selected hearing then. Bowen whines and complains about the reffing. He's as biased as Edwards is. If you are going to be consistent on complaining about Edwards for being a big homer, atleast be consistent on Bowen for being the same.
Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson You can tell when their doing a game who they want to win their negative comments are heavily tilted at one team over the other . Its either them deciding to call the game that way or their being told to . The end result it ruins the game and makes it not worth watching .

Yeah a lot of people don't like the new Devils guy. I wish Doc still did Devils games.
Some of their best moments came with Doc at the mic. "Marshall! In overtime! The Devils win it!"

It should also be mentioned that Joe Bowen is the most recent winner of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award and is now apart of the Hockey Hall of Fame. The NHL Broadcasters' Association who votes for it obviously don't have a problem with him the way you do. So it's good that them and Leafs fans on here don't take you seriously with your typical hate comments about anything Leafs related.
He went nuts because it was Cory Schneider's first win in 42 years.I generally think Cangialosi is ok for the Devils but he went way over the top yesterday for a win in what is an irrelevant season, but that’s how he normally commentates soccer (he is the PBP guy for the Red Bull’s as well on MSG and he fills in on occasion at Fox Sports)
