I gotta say, being out of market I really can't stand ESPN. I have ESPN+ and cable, so no problem viewing all the games, but a big time matchup to start the 2nd round and ESPN offered no pregame or postgame yesterday. Formula 1 pre-race was on up until 4pm yesterday.

TNT is miles ahead of ESPN, yet they tout ESPN as the "premier" channel like it's an honor for the Rangers to be on there. They suck. And the TNT panel is so much better than ESPN. Still miss Vally, Sam and Joe though

Yea I didn’t mind his penalty yesterday. Loved that hit against Jarvis, then once he got back up Trouba knocked him down again lol

I've been waiting for someone to bring this up!!
Best part of the game.
Krieds smoked him (I thought he kinda turned, not much CK20 could do) and then as he's like WTF?? Trouba came in like he heard, "Please, sir. Might I have another?"

But, ESPN has "former Lady Byng winners Mark Messier and PK Subban!"
That was a classic moment.

They just drive me crazy. On pretty much all other broadcasts I look forward to the intermission to hear the breakdown to see how it jives with my thoughts during the period. Same with pre/post game. ESPN you might as well change the channel

Actually dont mind Subban as a commentator. He's got the personality for it.

I think it all depends on if we are winning

if we are losing the game I dont wanna hear anybody's mouth, including his

Trailing for about 4 minutes in 5 games is one of the more impressive things so far imo.

Insane.

I like subban and biz. Biz is a good sport being a leafs apologist because they give it to him pretty good

You loved a boarding call? I mean, yeah, Jarvy turned to follow the puck but that's a dangerous place to be hitting a guy.

I like Biz. I think he's entertaining. Subban doesn't do it for me. That being said my biggest gripe with ESPN is the no pre-game/post-game. It's playoff hockey give these games the respect they deserve and let people tune in before puck drop

Kreider boarded Jarvis. That was a clear cut penalty. Trouba pushed Martinook (I think) and that was called a cross check, which I thought was kinda soft. But that's officiating.

Yeah the call on Trouba was bullpoop. There were a couple last night where I went "They've been doing that all game and you're going to call THAT?"

Yep it was a penalty, but didn’t mind the hit. He turned at the end to make it worse than it should have been

The Fox slash and the Rempe goalie interference I thought were soft.

I actually thought the ADA hit shouldn't have been anything after the replay. In real time I thought it was a major though

I didn’t love Trocheck getting highsticked in the faceoff circle with no penalty

They should call every boarding call majors so they can review. So many players look back and then turn, including some Rangers players. Review if the player turns, no penalty.

That one was highly irritating. Can the kid play a little hockey for (frank)s sake

That was the worst one. It was bad both ways. In the 3rd Lindgren literally was holding a guy and thye let it go. Thought for sure it was a penalty gonna be called

Yea it’s annoying the amount of players that do it. You deserve the big hit if you are putting yourself in a bad situation on purpose lol
