shadow47 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 These two high profile analysts are on drugs today, some highlights: -MacKenzie calls Sean Avery "a little SOB". -MacKenzie calls the Philadelphia Flyers "the ultimate team". -E.J. Hradek says Cristobal Huet's play down the stretch for the Capitals was "just OK." He also says Huet hasn't looked good in the series despite saving 39 of 41 in the Caps game 2 loss. In other news, Mike Emrick calls Martin Biron's game "remarkable" despite facing only 24 shots. The world has gone mad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Biron's game was remarkable considering how he played in game 1. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Whoever was the show before them on XM, they were actually bashing McGuire and Milbury, so at least there's some sanity there. Apparently Milbury called the Capitals the "Crapitals" during a broadcast and Ted Leonsis got a bit miffed and called Bettman. Bettman made Milbury personally apologize to Leonsis. Then McGuire said that the arena had half Flyers fans, half Caps fans (trying to denigrate the Caps fanbase) when the arena was a SEA of red, thus, Caps fans and maybe 700 Flyers fans.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) The people on XM Radio irritate the heck out of me. These guys are the biggest brownosers I've ever seen when it comes to the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins. I mean, really: shut the f*** up already. Anything can happen in the playoffs; it's not a given that everyones favorite posterboys Joe Thornton and Sidney Crosby will steamroll through every team they see BY THEMSELVES, like everyones predictions say. In fact, Thornton's been pretty quiet so far, just like the rest of his team (minus maybe Ryane Clowe). A couple of the worst guys on there are Jim Tatti and Phil Esposito. These guys piss me off so much; Esposito is nothing more than a senile old man trying to relive his glory years. He's a f***ing idiot. Why do they even have him on there? He never has anything important to actually say; he just spouts off crap. Jim Tatti I especially hate. He claimes to be a Red Wings fan, but he gives this team absolutely no support at all. I swear, he's got his head so far up Ron Wilson's ass he could brush his teeth. Some fan he is; off the bat, he already has an Anaheim - San Jose WCF. Funnily enough, BOTH of these teams are down in their respective series. And where are the Red Wings, the team he claimes to be a fan of, but refuses to support? Up 2-0 against Nashville. Yeah, that's what I thought. The biggest idiot, though, by far is Jim Gordon (ala "Boomer" as he likes to call himself). He thinks he's the Don Cherry of XM Radio or something. He's an ******* about virtually every subject that is thrown at him, and it's just non-stop. Plus, he hates the Wings (and Wings fans). He's never come out and really said it, but he personally goes out of his way to attack Wings fans, and "denounce" the Hockeytown title from Detroit, instead giving it to the lowly Buffalo Sabres, who haven't accomplished s*** in their entire existance, and couldn't fill the building themselves this season. I mean, seriously. Does this POS have nothing better to do but rag on a fanbase for not being loud in the most mundane of regular season games? He's basing most of this "bad crowd/Hockeytown dead" crap off of some of the most boring games of the season; such as the 1-0 OT win over Nashville a couple weeks back. If he had actually watched the game, instead of just ranting like a complete moron, than he'd know that it was a boring game that was hard to get exited about. I'm kinda curious if he said anything about the Wings first two playoff games so far this season. He probably didn't, just because he's an ******* that refuses to ever be positive (unless it's involving San Jose or Pittsburgh!!!). I almost think he wears his Crosby jersey right on the air; even with everything that Ovechkin has proven this year, he still thinks Crosby is, and I quote "the best player in the world, with nobody coming close". I mean, really. Give the guy some credit. Because of his constant ragging on Wings fans, which almost never seems to stop once he get's into it, and other idiotic subjecst he's far and away the biggest loser on that channel. Find some real subject actually involving the game of hockey to ***** about; not about the fans loudness level, empty seats, or the Hockeytown title. His obsession with crowds/fans at the game, is ridiculous. You know, it's nice that XM does have a hockey channel, but they really need to get some better people on there. All the guys they have on now are such idiots in all forms. /end rant Edited April 14, 2008 by Kp-Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be nice if the service I'm paying for was better, but luckily for XM, they have better music channels than regular radio, and the FOX news network, so I can get past it.
