Carolina Hurricanes ..

Carolina Hurricanes ..
Hockey Puck -
From Mr. C.

The Carolina Hurricanes (Canes) are my favorite Hockey team.
Based in Raleigh, North Carolina they play home games in the PNC Arena.

Mr. C. has been to a game with a friend and he said " The loudest house in Hockey isn't just a publicity stunt - it really IS loud!"

Whenever on Bally's Sports - I watch them -- kicking other teams pucks away from our goal!
Bally's does a great job in the broadcasts - in my opinion -
The announcers/color folks all seem to know what is expected of them and they are professionals. When to speak and when NOT to speak.

Wish the same could be said of other broadcast coverage - but it is just my take on it.
If you don't have something to say - don't open your mouth!

Moving some of the games to ESPN isn't too bad if AJ would learn when to talk and when NOT to,

Then, some games are on ESPN+ and Hulu ... sorry, they are paid games and I'm not doing that - I will sit and grumble, though~!

The coverage is all for money - understand that .. but don't shoot yourself in the foot by giving your audience below-par commentators.

Yes - this is my gripe-session.

DONE

Ah yes the hockey puck ... got hit by one once (thankfully a glancing shot) at a Detroit Red Wings game years ago. I like to watch hockey but always think about the former players I grew up watching in the 50's (yep before helmets)! : )

Share many of your concerns regarding sports commentators, usually end up turning the sound off and just watch. When did they decide that every second has to be filled with the sound of their voices! Enough already! :)

NEVER GOT A PUCK AT ANY GAMES - EITHER PRO OR LOWER LEVEL TEAMS.
DID GET A HOCKEY STICK AT THE ORLANDO SOLAR BEARS - NOW HAVE A PUCK TO GO WITH IT - JUST NOT THE SAME TEAMS!

I WATCHED THE HABS [ MONTREAL CANADIENS ] AND LEARNED THE RULES AND REGS THAT WAY.
OH, DO I REMEMBER THE NO-HELMET DAYS AND GOALIES HAD NO MASKS!

YES, THERE ARE TIMES I HIT THE MUTE BUTTON, TOO,

GOT BOSTON TONIGHT [ FOR MR. C. ] AND LATER, THE HABS [ FOR ME ]. CANES ARE NOT PLAYING TONIGHT.

FOUND THE KRAKEN LAST NIGHT --- THEY BEAT FLORIDA [WHO IS WAY UP IN THE STANDINGS] WHILE, THIS IS THE 1ST YEAR FOR THE KRAKEN .. NOT DOING TOO WELL - BUT THEY HAVE PLAYED FLORIDA TWICE - AND BEAT THEM BOTH TIMES!

LOVE JOHN FORSLUND, PLAY BY PLAY - HE USED TO BE WITH THE CANES [ 20 + YRS] BUT OUR OWNER DIDN'T WANT TO PAY HIM A HIGHER SALARY -- WHICH JOHN IS WORTH. HE IS THE BEST ONE OUT THERE NOW.
