American announcers are idiots

I can't believe they said the first outdoor NHL game was the one in Buffalo.

Idiots.

So stick to curling and the CFL.

It's not like we're going to miss your fanhood.

The NBC guys (Bill Clement, Costas, etc), they're relatively clueless - they can't help it.

They can't touch CBC or TSN in coverage quality. Some things will never change.

It was the first "winter classic"

[northernbillfan]

It was the first "winter classic"Do some research before you post. The first one was called the "Heritage" Winter Classic.

The one in Buffalo was the first outdoor regular season game in the US.

That's probably what they meant.

By the way, that's also not true.

LA Kings played the Rangers in Vegas in September '91.

[chernobylwraiths]

wasn't the heritage classic an exhibition game?

[G Wolly]

No the game was in November so it was during the regular season.

LA Kings played the Rangers in Vegas in September '91.That was an exhibition game tho.

[northernbillfan]

Either way the NBC crew is awful. I'm glad CBC was there today.

[G Wolly]

That was an exhibition game tho.

Yes, I'm aware. But it was the first outdoor NHL game ever.

You wouldn't have to put up with American announcers.

[DMBcrew36]

You wouldn't have to put up with American announcers.

The NBC crew is pretty rancid no matter what country they're from, where its in, or who's playing.

Side question: How the hell did they play a hockey game outdoors in Vegas?

[G Wolly]

Global Warming?
