2025-2026 NHL Offseason

Remember Montreal has 24 Championships.  Still waiting for 25...soon I say, soon.  24-8 not bad.

Game 7 was the highest rated NHL game since they started calculating it.

And still less than half the viewership of game 6 of the NBA Finals, even with NBA Finals ratings way down from last year due to Toronto being in there.

Does NBC still use the same garbage as the broadcast team...Because they use to suck real bad...

I don't recall who you mean,  but the main NBC team is first rate.  There's nothing more difficult than calling a hockey game. I think Emrick does a great job.  

Mike Milbury, Keith Jones and Pierre McGuire completely suck...so glad McGuire is on NBC...Mike Emrick, I'm not a fan of...I think Sportsnet in Canada has nailed the broadcast...absolutely love Ron McClean, Kelly Hrudey and Nick Kypreos...Loved Bob Cole's Play by Play, now retired and was having a few senior moments (just like ALL future US Presidents).  Jim Hughson.  Favourite analyst Ray Ferraro...he is on TSN... 

Mike Emrick is the best in the biz

Abso-fucking-lutely.  He is able to string together 15 different adjectives and verbs to call the play in 30 seconds.  It's amazing.

Watched the St. Louis parade.  Larry Robinson who just got his 10th ring was asked which finger it would go on...he stuck out his middle finger and said this is for Boston...great to see the hall of fame hab defenceman still has hatred for the Bruins...love it.

HAHAHA>that's a good one from Robinson

Thanks for posting the NHL Awards video, great moment.

I remembered the first meeting between them...so I was really impressed when he helped arrange him coming to the awards and then a trip to the NHL all star.  Pretty great of him.

...and NJ it is.  They could have a really exciting team.

Looks like I might be in Montreal in October when they host the Leafs.  I'm assuming tickets aren't too hard to come by if you're willing to spend $150+, is that about right?
