I am with you there on Vosters. I can't stand him. Put the radio guy on T.V. I have gained a lot of respect for Troy Murry. Okay, now let's go out and lose one for the Gipper!

Thanks Zach - This is the first game with the new coach. I expect Van to come out smoking tonight.

Or they can play like we did in Colliton's first game, against the Canes I think, like in 2018 where we down three before the first half of the game.

The Beavis and Butthead comparison for Vosters that someone made a while back is bang on. He over-animates and is just plain annoying. At times it almost seems like he is trying to emulate Pat Foley instead of just being himself.
The other guy, Colby Cohen, I don't mind and don't see why people knock him. However. I do cringe when I see him dressed up in a suit while wearing running shoes. But maybe the times have left me behind.

With Delia the likely starter I am fully anticipating the Ex-Hawk Revenge Tour to continue and he gets a big shutout haha

Vosters is not good, and he has zero chemistry with any of his color analysts.

Can we send him down to Rockford and bring up their play-by-play person?

Thank you for that analysis on Vosters...a complete waste of time. I think Troy and Sharpie are also sick of his BORING game call. Now 2 of my favs of other teams are the Bruin team and the Avs team. Lots of energy, lots of commentary and they add so much to the broadcast.

Jack Edwards on the Bruins tv broadcast is THE (frank)ING WORST. I don't use the word hate too often but I HATE that mother (frank)er.

The hawks want announcers who go back and forth on social media with the fans. I know Foley wouldn't do that, and I'm not so sure Wideman does. That might be the reason they waited so long to announce JW as the radio announcer for this year. Ya Vosters is a goof but he ain't Jack Edwards.

Totally agree. The B's broadcast is the worst display of homerism out there.

Foley in his heyday (mostly with Tallon) was fantastic, but I found the latter years with Enzo mostly unlistenable.

Think of him like the current team. He probably won't be around when the Hawks are relevant again.

I'm not a fan of Vosters, but much like the ghost of Niklas Hjalmarsson that was in a Hawk uni his last few years, people seem to forget how bad the Foley/Edzo tandem had become.

They do need another play by play announcer. I'm fine with either Sharp or Murray doing color. Why not put Wiedeman on TV play by play and let someone learn the ropes on the radio broadcast?

That was my first thought when Eddie saw greener pastures.

I think Vosters, like the roster, needs time.

I am annoyed when the score, on how he calls the entire play and then takes a deep breath to yell "scores!"
It is like he is elevating past the excitement point after the weak build up.
And I simply hate repetition. For the fane who tuned in lat, F 'em...if they missed the announcement on Jacques Scrap' birthday, or who will be back soon.

And tell you what: I don't care that you have never been in Western Canada and want Troy Murray to give you dinner reservation, Chris Ask Troy off camera instead of a couple game sin a row! (I am sure you can fine fried cheese somewhere up there, heeshead.)

I am the ultimate grump pants, who thinks the majority of the home announcers and especially their color guys are simply not truthful, puff up their players and as I watch the action that just finished and I hear what they say, I feel like went through 1984's Newspeak, making every little thing not a home team visiting team mistake, just excellence by home team.

The majority of the color men are rah rahs who should be selling the speed skill and beauty of the game, not the, "...He(opposition) is gonna get himself in trouble trying to take on (our boy) as he is either a) tough b) a better player than ememy c) and possibly the worst, the seeing ion even call offside as an error on them not OUR players.
I have tried to reasonably come to terms with this, but it is a disservice to each teams fans.

Tampa's homer is terrible, forget Buffalo, Wings, Blues, Minny, Dallas, Nashville, and I am sure there are others I have blanked out of my mind.

I think Sharp and Troy KNOW what not to say in terms of the tank, and are pretty fair in accessing things from the ice.
So is Eddie in Seattle.
...and so are most TNT when the announcers are no a home or away feed, but their guys, and of course, C A N A D A.
The Sportnet and especially HNinC guys just get it, and how it is played and what truly is going on. They try to give honest takes on the play, the way things really are going and find ways to throw compliments, but call the mistakes instead justifying or excusing.

I am going on a European trip during the trade deadline.
So unless the hawks get it done the four days before deadline, I will be late on the news, but itvmight be a better situation for me out of my house, instead of the endless hours of boredom the deadline day usually causes me, glued, refusing to stop watching even though most deals are done days before or an hour after the show...

I like the RedWings announcers. Mickey Redmond calls it pretty straight, calls out mistakes on both teams.

Kings announcers getting better. Faust taking over from Bob Miller after 25 years. Took forever for Fox as an analyst to get good. They were very fair in the Hawks game. They pointed out the blown trip call in the Kings first goal.

File that under things you love to see. Knew that contract they signed him to was going to blow up on them.

It will get worse when Montreal wins the draft lottery, then Columbus and Anaheim draft second and third.
