Re: Tyler Kennedy

I can deal with it happening once.

But twice? At what point does somebody tell him in his headphones that he is a dumbass?

It's Joe Benati. I can't stand him- he calls the Caps games for the local Comcast SportsNet. He finally corrected himself late in the third- he said he got confused because of all the Tylers on the Buffalo roster (all 2 of them).

And btw, after "Tyler Kennedy" scored, he announced that Tuuka Rask was coming off the Washington bench for Tim Thomas.

Really? When did Washington trade for Rask and start wearing black and gold?

Re: Tyler Kennedy

i love raggin on announcers, but i feel that hockey announcers do more than any other sport. they literally say every single thing that is happening at real speed. football, baseball, basketball, they kind of chime in here and there.

hockey you go pass to pass and build a picture.

it's still unfortunate that the producers didn't whisper to him that he didn't get kennedy's name right or the team right.

The thing is that some hockey announcers are really good at what they do, and some are really bad. We're lucky in that RJ is good. When I listen to the games on XM, they always have the home broadcast, and when I get the bootleg video feed over the computer, I'm stuck with whichever feed has the best quality, so getting RJ is hit or miss.

Long story short, I hear a lot of announcers for other teams, and some are just terrible. RJ rarely butchers a name, and if he does, he corrects himself right away. And if he has trouble pronouncing a name, he at least pronounces it the same way each time, unlike some of these announcers who will pronounce the same name 5 different ways during the same game. Some guys over-use cliches, like "blew a tire" or "too much mustard." Some guys just don't do their homework and know absolutely nothing about the opponent, and some guys are just ridiculous homers.

They all make mistakes, but after hearing a few good broadcasts, the bad ones really stand out.
