    Default ESPN Audio sucks !

    On their first game, after all the hype, why can I just barely hear the commentary? They need a 6:30 AM meeting to yell at them and call them idiots.

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Looks like their boxscores are messed up also.

    They are showing henien with his second goal and carter with his 3rd assist. Must be a carryover from preseason ��

    Not in love with the “blimp” cam either. Really tough to follow the puck when the camera is moving left /right and zooming in/out during play.

    There was no energy in the stadium (TBL fans aren't hockey fans) which just bleeds through the players and commentators.

    The camera angles are 100% a broadcast used to getting interesting shots from different camera angles for NFL and MLB where the standard camera is far away, so they can change the angle and get a cooler shot easier. Hockey, the standard camera angle is not far away, not close up so these different camera angles are just...not changing the view experience enough for us. Plus the game is a lot less scripted than the other sports so trying to telegraph where these guys go with the odd camera angles is just...too jittery sometimes.

    The only time a different camera angle should be used is in highlights. Or maybe when a defenseman breaks up the ice after retrieving a cleared puck on the powerplay because the camera man knows what the player is likely to do.

    How about when the commentators decided to just let us listen to the 'sound of hockey' and was hush hush for a bit.

    Did he have to run and grab another beer from the fridge or was it potty break time?

    TNT kind of screwing things up too, 2 goals being scored while Gretzky (about as exciting as paint drying) was talking. Awkward that he’s on PIP during the game calling. Oh well they have rest of season to get it right.
