Thread: Does nbc sports hire anybody to call these games?

Randy and Drew are good if they aren't calling Sharks games.

Everything is SCORES!!!! and they provide good commentary.

When they are calling Sharks games like the playoffs usually get, it's brutal. Everything is Sharks this and Sharks that and it's terrible to listen to on a nationally televised game. Sharks get a goal and it "HE SCOORRREEEEEESSSSSS!" but when another team gets it like STL or LA the past two years it was always "he scores."

That's my opinion of the two.

Hated them. And Roenick (not our poster here) should be fitted for a cement overcoat and dumped from a garbage scow into the ocean somewhere off Joisey.

That's because the cheapos at OLN/VS didn't produce their own broadcast, they just rebroadcast the one from the Sharks. Kinda like what the NHL network does now for most regular season games they show. I'm from the era when we were lucky to get the Kings on TV, let alone be able to watch almost any game we wanted, league wide, on any given night. As long as they show the game, I'm reasonably happy.

Whines and collected a pay check...

speaking of...did anyone her Mr pot call Mr kettle black during the post game show...JR saying that the way Ovie's been playing he should take is 110k per game and give it back to the team, funny as kings fans think you should give back that few million you took from us, douche!!!

Hahn is a bigger homer then Ahlers. Can't stand him when calling a Sharks game (fine when Sharks aren't playing). Remeda is pretty decent, good analyst.

driiiiiiiive!

By far, the worst part of the game were the announcers...read they were the SJ Shark announcers! WHY?? Doesn't NBC have another decent combo...like Emrick & Olczuk (sp?)

When watching a game called by doc, I always get the "ricochet" count going. Try it!

Calling Randy Hahn "good" is an insult to all people everywhere who are good at what they do.

Calling them "great" is ridiculous.
