NBC must have ran out of announcers...

... with 5 games taking place today... because I swear I'm hearing Brian Hayward's voice doing the color commentary in this OTT/NYR game.

Seriously? There was nobody else available out there?

I'm hearing a local feed for the Floriday / NJ game too.
Don't know who the hell they are, but in between hawking season tickets for next season as though they get a commission, they are fucking awful. Blowing a gasket because Versteeg is "breaking in on net".... it was a 2 on 3, still outside the blueline.

That's why you should root for the Ducks to make the playoffs.

He isn't all that bad when he doesn't have his team in it, and he's been between the benches, so that isn't all that bad either. To be honest, I think he's gotten less homerific than Drew Remenda this season.

With all due respect, that's not very hard to do... hah! :p

Remenda is really really bad lately. 99.9999/100 on the homer-meter.

I actually like Hayward. Then again if Macguire or Milbury aren't speaking I'm happy.

I agree, as weird as it feels to say it, Hayward has actually been decent.

Chicago / Phoenix was Chicago local coverage.

I'd *much* rather have that. The way they should do it is, just have the home team's announcers/feed for each game that you show, IMO.

I know they do it for some games (oddly, they used the Sharks announcers for the last 4 of the 5 games in their series... first game had NBC-picked people... One was the Dallas(?) Darryl Reaugh (?) guy and I don't recall the other).
