Not to pile on here, but this MSG crew has really killed my interest in watching the team this year.
I just can't stand any of them anymore:
1) Steve - offers no unique insight, misses events all the time (penalties, post hits). He clearly has no knowledge of the nuances of the game.. I mean, I don't either but that's why I enjoy listening to a guy who can point these discrete things out to us. It's remarkable just how little he offers to the game.. and how little he's improved since taking over for Doc.
2) Dano - three years later and he's still rambling. Is the crew afraid of hurting his feelings? Someone needs to tell him to keep his thoughts concise and to-the-point. "OH STEVE, YOU SEE THE DEVILS THERE... THEY ENTER THE ZONE AND HENRIQUE...HE JUST GOES WIDE AND...BOY WHAT A CHANCE THERE BUT THE GOALTENDER... HE JUST SLIDES ACROSS WITH THE PAD AND..." meanwhile the play is back in the Devils end with the other team getting a scoring chance. But on the other side of the spectrum..
3) JMac - SLOW DOWN AND BREATHE. You can just tell he's just incredibly nervous in front of the camera. That combined with his yaknow annoying tendencies that he yaknow constantly falls back on makes him frustrating.
4) Deb - (SEXIST COMMENT TRIGGER WARNING) Would it be so hard to have an attractive young person do her job? Kidding aside.. even my girlfriend this year was like "wait, why does she only talk out of the side of her mouth? Look, she holds the mic at the side of her face!". Her and JMac doing the intermission 'reports' is a unique form of torture. Can we bring back Chuck the Duck?
/rant. I've made it a point to watch the visiting broadcasts almost 90% of the time when I do catch a game.
