stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) listen, I know he sucks so bad that his name doesn't matter, but how the hell did the VS. broadcaster get away with calling him Brad Lebda even twice, let alone all the way through the first 2 periods without ANYONE in the crew correcting him? That broadcasting crew was horrendous last night (the game crew, not the panel back at the studio) Edited November 24, 2009 by stevkrause Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hokeychik22 17 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) i heard the brad lebda. i also wasnt paying much attention to the announcers, turned off during intermissions. only watched what happened on the ice, made my own commentary. eastern conference champs-bruins..they must not of watched the stanley cup finals i also love how dumb pred fans are..two goals are a hattrick for them. erat had two goals and someone threw a hat on the ice.

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Yeah, the hat tossed for Erat's 2 goals thing just reinforces that unfortunate image of the uneducated Nashville hockey fan. "Whuh? You mean all three of dem goals gotta be scored by one guy? Well, shucks!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut22 81 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 I heard the Brad Lebda too, and the Darren Meech They also said that the Boston Bruins are the defending Eastern Conference Champions. Didn't realize we played them in the Cup Finals last season. that one seriously was horrible. I was trying to wrap my brain around how he even came up with that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GROwl 5 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 I think the Brad Lebda was wishful thinking. How about a guy with Brad Stuart's defense skills and Lebda's speed? Or in Meech's case...lets have DMac teach Derek Meech some toughness and tenacity. It was a hint directed to Babcock... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't realize we played them in the Cup Finals last season. In their defense, I'm assuming it was a poor choice of words to describe the Bruins being first overall in the East last season.

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 They also kept talking about Todd Bertuzzi's former success as a Vancouver Canuck. Clearly, they confused him with the Todd Bertuzzi who played in Vancouver early this decade, and put up 90+ points once, and also put Steve Moore in the hospital with his aggressive play. You'd think the VS idiots would know better not to confuse those two players just because they have the same name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowknife Redwing 57 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 I, for one, am excited about this "Brad Lebda". I mean, could he really be worse than the Lebda we already have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 In their defense, I'm assuming it was a poor choice of words to describe the Bruins being first overall in the East last season. I figured that was ultimately what they meant as well. But that poor choice of words just shows once again how poorly Versus actually covers hockey. And just once - once! - could we actually get a replay on a questionable Wings penalty? That's infuriating as hell when that happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
