this has to be THE WORST hockey broadcast i have ever watched. its even worse than fox and their stupid tail that used to be on the puck. they don’t even announce the game, they just talk about random CRAP instead of talking about whats actually happening. not to mention these stupid comments from the girl reading off the cue cards that make me want to hit the mute button. GIVE ME RICK AND JIM!

The HD feed is on just enough delay that it makes it impossible to listen to the radio.

But, as much as I love listening to Rick and Jim, I’ll give up that to see the game in HD. It looked simply AMAZING. 51" widescreen HD. I had several “HD virgins” here today and heard lots of “OMG, you can see the scratches on the ice” type comments.
