The only illegal curves in that game were the arcs Neal took flying through the air to run Couturier. Pens fans, I am not blaming you for this, but godDAMN your announcers are fucking tools.

We've been over the announcer thing a few times...just so everyone knows: NO ONE WANTS THEM. Especially with a HoFer on the radio side. *sigh*

The crap spewing from the Pittsburgh media today is just embarrassing. I do believe there may be a small teensy bit of truth to it, but for the most part, it just seems like they want more readers than the other guy. A brief summary: "some players" are questioning Sid as captain (wow, never heard this before), Staal is unhappy in his role as a third line C, Letang may be on the block in the offseason, Orpik rumors.

Seriously guys?

Makes me thankful for the announcers that we have.

Craziness. That Staal thing is the only one I've really heard about.

I watched one of the matchups this year from a Philly feed and I was very entertained. They did a great job.

I've always felt that one of the 3 C's would eventually go, but honestly always thought it would be Geno.

Asham hearing.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Arron Asham waived right to in-person hearing. It'll be done by phone at 5 p.m. ET. League has option of suspending 6 or more if it chooses.

Like I said, not blaming you guys. I've heard plenty of stuff from you about how they are garbage.

It's just, damn, being a homer announcer is expected and within limits actually encouraged, but you can't go all the way and start wildly accusing people of random stuff. That's my job as a fan.

i dont even think the flyers guys are that good at announcing hockey games (JJ's pronounciation of Parise is particularly irritating), its just fun cause you're listening to 3 guys watch a hockey game and chat about it.. the best part of their broadcasts is when they make fun of each other for being old.. they clearly enjoy their jobs and working together

.. i'm jealous.

I love Jonesy and especially Clement. I actually like JJ quite a bit too.
