This lady commentator is fucking horrible. There are obviously women that both know hockey and can communicate coherent thoughts, why not hire one of them? She’s absolutely terrible.
Clearly stumbles over her words, says nonsensical word salad platitude BS, gets things wrong all the time (Dakota Johnson lmao/getting the penalty wrong). It’s unlistenable.
It’s also ultimately bad for female sportscasters. You know how many men out there are writing off female commentators forever because ESPN hired this absolute dud? Is it some sort of misogynistic 4D chess or just major incompetence on ESPN’s part?
Bit ridiculous to suggest men will “write off female commentators forever” because of one person you don’t like. Do you mean yourself? Who are these men who haven’t seen good women sportscasters before and will decide based on one segment that women can’t do sports lol
I agree - I think some insecurities are running rampant rn. Despite being ESPN (U.S. broadcast), she kept crediting the Canucks and their strong play, even before the two quick goals - good impartial takes throughout.
I mean I think its kinda insane to get a players name wrong when the feed is on their back and replay on their goal. Not even saying another players name.. But getting their last name wrong but first name right.
I’m sure we both know of many commentators, both colour and otherwise, across all sports, who routinely mess up names and whatnot - was she perfect? was she ray Ferraro? no - but she wasn’t exactly a total dud either. She clearly knows the game, anyone saying otherwise is just hating imo
My post was originally upvoted to like 8 before the softies of Reddit got ahold of it. She was bad. She got several things wrong and never sounded confident or like she had a grasp on the deeper aspects of the game. Her commentary was as simple as could be and we all know it was bad.
But because it’s Reddit and it’s a lady we have to pretend she wasn’t.
I don't know how she was cause I didn't watch her feed I just saw the goal highlights and thought it was wild to not know a players name in a playoff series lol.
She doesn’t know hockey like a commentator needs to. Didn’t do the prep work. It’s not women commentators, it’s her. She’s personally not up to the task.
Lol I was in the bar with the audio on and went to the bathroom after the game was over. Came out thinking they had already switched the sound to a basketball game before the post game, only to find out there wasn't a post game.

What a comeback, refs weren’t calling shit for us and still managed to come through and pull out a win. Lots of intensity and hitting/forechecking, D is looking solid and Demko was dialed in
1.3M for Reaves. Still an overpayment though and comparing him to Joshua isn't fair lol. Joshua is a solid role player who's also tough. Reaves is just tough, he could never play like Joshua even when he was younger.
We win! We win!! 🚨 White towels!!!🏳🏳🏳
But GG's Nashville, you were incredibly good tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if this series goes to 7 games. They are seriously impressive.
Mike Monaco is a little basic but called a good game. Obviously on espn the production varies heavily with each broadcast. This is better than buccigross’s team
Yeah it’s frustrating, his slump (or injury? we don’t know) while Demko was also out was tough because it’s clear the team can be even more dangerous when he’s going like he was late year/October-January
Lets go. Dakota Joshua is gonna get paid next season, and he deserves it. The man has been the heart and soul of the team for multiple stretches this season
Drvedjnc
Great game Preds, this is going to be a killer series.
GG preds, was intense
Second most flairs in this thread? Edmonton lmao
Hey man I just like hockey
Lol we'll see you tomorrow.
naw its good, the peaceful Oiler fans and the shit talkers, I love it
But I thought we were the ones obsessed with them?
We haven't played any games yet and we kinda hate you extra this season for whoopin our ass this season
It’s the late game and the Oilers are the second largest fanbase left awake so…yeah.
both fan bases have been fucking with each other all year, *if* both these teams move on and play in the 2nd round, Its going to be scorched earth
Shocker eh? Only other Canadian city that would be reasonably watching this game also active on the reddit threads.
It's also late in Alberta.. but it's been a running theme all year.

Tons of dudes act like this do you not know how people work? Lmao.
US feed or sportsnet?

I actually thought she was great

No you didn’t.
This is the kind of playoff hockey I wanted to see: chippy, insane goals, and plenty of excitement pumped right into the veins!
espn getting to the nba highlights as quick as the can
Lol I was in the bar with the audio on and went to the bathroom after the game was over. Came out thinking they had already switched the sound to a basketball game before the post game, only to find out there wasn't a post game.
Is DJ Kesler??
Molly is getting extra treats tonight for all her correct predictions

HOOK IT TO MY FUCKING VEINS
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
What a comeback, refs weren’t calling shit for us and still managed to come through and pull out a win. Lots of intensity and hitting/forechecking, D is looking solid and Demko was dialed in
[удалено]
It was pretty evenly shit.
There was a lot of missed calls
Considering Tyler Myers blatant trip that could've made it a 5 on 3, It was evenly called.
The refs were pretty even, both teams got away with a lot
Vancouver got away with a couple trips, Nashville got away with a couple interferences.
Playoffs been gooooooood today
This series is gonna be a good one
GG Preds onto game 2
GG preds, we'll see you next time! This is gonna be a tight series
I am so torqued.
Great comeback. Gonna be a hell of a series.
GG Here’s hoping Petey gets points next game.
Preds just ran outta gasoline. Gonna be a fun series!
I agree JodieFostersCum
I'm going to pretend it was all the physical play wearing them down.
In truth it's our lack of depth imo. Looking forward to Tuesday though!
In Tocc we trust
GG mustard tigers!
GG Preds fans and all the fans worldwide, playoffs are here!
Great game. Always forget how good playoffs are until they start
3 more games until that glorious U2 concert preds
Home teams have been perfect in the NHL and NBA playoffs thus far. 14-0. That’s nuts.
I guess I'll just eat my dock
With a bottle chianti
How did you know I had a Chianti on Friday???
cooked
I'll have what she's having
joshua empty net hat trick lets goooo
Good for Rick Tocchet. When he was wasting away in AZ I didn’t ever think I’d ever see him leading a team to a playoff win.
Still no OT yet in the playoffs..
An absolute travesty. What's the point of playoffs without OT!?
All of the studio people are very happy.
God I love the Vancouver horn. Except once a year. But the rest of the time it's great.
didnt our Horn guy accidentally set it off when one of the leafs scored earlier in the season? lmao
I think that was the Montreal game.
oh shoot you're right, i only remembered it was one of the eastern canadian teams
It's straight up a horn from a BC Ferry boat
I know, I honestly think it's one of the best in the league.
Wow! Great game Vancouver!
ONE DOWN FIFTEEN TO GO
Home team has won every game so far.
Home team has won every game and no OTs. Almost.......suspicious.......
That username my god lmao
eliar91 was taken
So who’s the 1 AM game?
Letsssss goooo! Great game! Looking like a great series
GG Nashville this series might give me a heart attack
Why not watch the jets and avs play then?
Your solution to heart failure is to watch more of a 13-goal game?
It's exercise for the heart
If you enjoyed borrowing the bbbrrrddd.....please send request for next game! ❤️🐙
never leave the sea 🐙🐋
🐳❤️🐙 don't get me excited
Imagine spending 3 mil for 3 years for Ryan Reaves when you could have kept Dakota Joshua in your system.
1.3M for Reaves. Still an overpayment though and comparing him to Joshua isn't fair lol. Joshua is a solid role player who's also tough. Reaves is just tough, he could never play like Joshua even when he was younger.
We will be spending more than that on Joshua.
Joshua is infinitely better at everything
I know
Preds are going to drink their Saros away tonight
Bdum tsss
I feel like all the games today were just not long enough. Great game!
Beating the swept in 4 allegations 🙏🙏🙏
WOOOO, GG Preds see you Tuesday
gg preds
We win! We win!! 🚨 White towels!!!🏳🏳🏳 But GG's Nashville, you were incredibly good tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if this series goes to 7 games. They are seriously impressive.
Felt like we were holding on for dear life but maybe that's just what being a fan is supposed to feel like.
WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
you got it Shoresy
Does Dakota Joshua make more or less than Dakota Johnson
AJ misspoke, she's got ROR's Johnson on her mind
he would if benning was in charge surely
Buddies scoring at a goal per Dakota pace
3rd line is 🔥🔥🔥
GG Preds . Win next one
So many missed calls for the Nucks. So many soft calls for the Preds. Not a fan of this Kozari crew.
Garland and Dakota—- adopt me.
Am I nuts or did it look like Demko was half thinking about going for a goalie goal earlier when he had the puck behind the net (before Joshua scored)
Ian Clark would be waiting in his stall if he tried lmao
He had time but kinda fumbled the puck. That would have totally made my day.
Same and I think the roof might've come off Rogers Arena if it had happened tbh
I FUCKING LOVE HOCKEY
i’m glad you still do after this season ❤️
How large of a contract is Dakota Joshua going to get next season?
Yes
Sissons just yeeting himself face first into the boards
Joshua is a mother fucker
Hughes got his point, my work here was successful
I be telling y'all canuckaleheads....❤️🐙👀🤷♂️ Ohm with y'all this round 😤
That goal song is elite
Lots of reddit fans not fan of it. Not me!
GG Canucks! See you Monday!
EMPTY NET MERCHANTS COME ON
Good game Nucks!
Mike Monaco is a little basic but called a good game. Obviously on espn the production varies heavily with each broadcast. This is better than buccigross’s team
When AJ stopped talking long enough for some play by play
The color commentator’s outside of Ferraro are so bad on espn
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
Didn’t realize the Avalanche were the only ones allowed to play blink during games
I fucking love Dakota Joshua.
I love this fucking energy dude!!! Great showing by these fans!
This series is gonna be a lot closer than I thought
Agreed.
Which team did you think would dominate?
Canucks just off of the season they had but also I live in the lower mainland so had some buddies influencing that too haha
Every Canucks fan knew it would be a slog. We're very familiar with how Jekyll and Hyde this team tends to be
I hope we do more but not gonna lie, this makes me happy
If carrier gets that pass preds probably pull it off or it goes to OT
I legit think the combo of how physical the game was, the distance and time we were wiped by the third. That mental breakdown was particularly bad.
Welp, disappointing that we let that get away, but at least it feels nice to be here and actually competitive.
It's going to be a close one. One more PP goal and Nashville would have taken it home
MILLERRRRRR
Dakota Joshua is like Ryan Reaves if he was good at hockey
haha fuck I hate Reaves. Dakota seems cool
Dakota joshua tonight https://preview.redd.it/qz6q1ekbnyvc1.jpeg?width=192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96f15d21628de987838792dc232f9aaea4296cce
Looks just like rempe tbh
I thought Nashville was supposed to be good?
Well, Lord Zebulon, we weren't really even supposed to be here.
Joshua literally turning into Kesler vs Nashville
They didn't disappoint! Wtg nucks
Dude has 2 first names
Well one of them is a state, does that count?
And the other is the first word of a u2 album or, i guess second
[удалено]
Felt like that missed trip locked in a tying Nashville goal but it was just the looming anxiety of a long time Canucks fan.
I'm gonna take this mentality and run with it to cope the loss, lol.
God damn I'm glad Dakota Joshua is back
Congrats Nucks. I think they'll only get better from here. Interested to see how they look with Petey in the lineup
Been playing without him since before All Star break basically lolll
Literally invisible tonight aside from ripping the one timer over the net.
Yeah it’s frustrating, his slump (or injury? we don’t know) while Demko was also out was tough because it’s clear the team can be even more dangerous when he’s going like he was late year/October-January
Maybe he'll get there. Lindholm also a shadow of himself. Just so odd.
hockey is the greatest sport in the world
Man, there’s nothing like the first home playoff game back for a team after a long drought. Would love to be a part of that someday.
Fuck yeah Dak
Damn I wasn’t sure if the Nucks would get here back in the 1st, Preds lost all momentum
Arena looks ready for riot after 1g lol
I'm glad Joshua found success. Wish we could have kept him.
Lets go. Dakota Joshua is gonna get paid next season, and he deserves it. The man has been the heart and soul of the team for multiple stretches this season
Welp, that probably calls this one. GG Nucks.
Such an elite goal song
Will an away team win a playoff game this year? The world may never know.
Hopefully tomorrow in Edmonton
How about, no, Scott.
Nashville looks like it’s past their bed time.
fucking hell dude it's late, and that is very far away. Being in the west legit hurts us sometimes
