I think TNT has blown ESPN out of the water in terms of their hockey coverage this playoff. Their product is much more fun to watch, and I think their crew/analysts are much better as well.
Canes
- Thread starter Allen&Sons
- Start date
Almost two minutes of a 5 on 3... Canadiens trying to give the game away on a platter and the Canes don't even get a shot on net.
That’s one of the most pathetic 5 on 3 power plays that you will ever see. Instead of going for the kill shot, the Canes chose to just milk clock.

Hurricanes powerplay going non-existent in the playoffs is as likely as the sun rising tomorrow.
Good dominating win last night. Powerplay looks like the Canes used for a breather. Very odd that they seem to slow down and get stagnant with a man or two advantage. Love a shutout and Montreal's fans turned on them last night.
The Canadiens definitely struggled last night, partly because the Canes were really good and partly because they just looked tired, and wonder if the passing of Quebec native Claude Lemieux today will give them a little extra motivation moving forward. Crazy that he was the torch-bearer on Monday night and passed 3 days later.

Yes, and this has been the case for a few years running. They (the TNT intermission/studio panel specifically) are a big reason why I started tuning into those random western conference series a few years back. The guys are knowledgeable and also funny. They also don't pander to the bigger market teams as much as ESPN does. And Liam is a sneaky good anchor. You almost don't notice it but he's slick.
TNT's arena team--at least for the East--isn't great.. Eddie O and Boucher don't let a game go by where they don't make it obvious that they are rooting for our opponents but I just tune them out. Jackie Redman (sp?) is great.
I do want to say that Mark Messier on ESPN is pretty fair to the Canes. And I try to cut PK Subban some slack because he's played for several teams that have been eliminated by the Canes in painful fashion or otherwise have a reason to dislike us (like the offer sheet spat with Montreal, etc). Emily Kaplan, ESPN rink-side interviewer, is great.
Great night so far! Heels baseball dominates and Canes following suit
These fricking announcers. Trying to make every excuse of why the Canes are about to make the finals. They can kiss my ***.
thank you, Canes, for reducing my already high stress levels while i also watch college baseball
Well, to be fair, there were some expecting Montreal to cruise past Carolina.
Missed most of the game tied up at the Bosh last night, but great showing by the fellas in red.
Had the privilege of meeting him two years ago at our hockey team's alumni golf tournament and he seemed like a nice guy.
Claude was also Freddie Andersen's agent, definitely been an emotional last few days for him.
