Who are the best commentators

[damochandler]

This year we have had 1 great retire in mike Lange and bob Kurtz is cutting back his schedule. So who do you think are the best
I listen to the radio call more than watch tv

John Walton is the best radio commentator, Steve Carroll from Anaheim isn’t far behind

Dan Robertson and Kenny Albert are the top two in my opinion. Both call a good game, solid voices and neither act like their cat has pissed on their breakfast when the opposition scores. The guy in Denver is the top culprit in that aspect. Pete Weber in Nashville would get on the podium for third spot.

Dave Mishkin is the worst, there is no need to scream like a banshee when “your team” scores.
Joe Bowen a close second, “Holy Mackinaw Joe, take five minutes to learn how to pronounce players’ names correctly.”

I was partial to a bit of Jim Hughson.




Hard to say who's good anymore. I don't mind the Caps announcer Joe Beninati, got a decent voice and has done national games so isn't completely biased.

Dave Mishkin carries on, but his screaming is well and truly offset by Phil Esposito. Phil's trademark gravelly voice is brilliant - and his "tell like it is" style is very entertaining. Phil turns 80 next Feb, but hope he keeps going for a while yet.................

Agreed.
Need a Mishkin mute button with only Espo’s comments (gasps and grumbles) being audible.

Pierre Houde. It shits me that NHL.tv is no longer available in Australia and I can't watch the Habs in French anymore. Does anyone know if there's any way to get the RDS/TVA French language Hockey broadcasts in Australia legally? Watch ESPN doesn't carry the French language broadcasts.

Don’t think you can, might be a good thing this season.
Maybe they get it sorted next year.

True, this season is a dumpster fire, but I have always found the best way to try keep up my French has been watching my Habs. Really missing it this season, even if there's not much to enjoy on the ice.
