Their most egregious offense so far is always saying Gragnani's name as "Greg Nanny." Uggh.

Why did you have to watch them? I have Center Ice and DTV and am not in Buffalo and had the Sabres guys.

it was the feed that XS had. I don't have CI and, not surprisingly, the game wasn't on local TV.

They're Canadian. 'Annoying as hell' comes along with the green card.

for me... 'annoying as hell' is reserved for homers like the 2 guys in Boston.

I reserved "unlistenable" for the 2 guys from Boston especially Jack Edwards. I'll listen to cats getting murdered first.

I will say this: during the intermission, even Don Cherry and the other guy who is on the intermission report with him were dogging Jack Edwards and his homer calls. And Cherry even messed up his name, calling him "Edward something." That cracked me up.

Besideds being homers; being more outspoken with biases than maybe any other duo, the Boston guys also butcher names worse than anyone. Anthropov, Afinogenov...

I actually e-mailed Edwards once to tell him how pathetic it is that he doesn't know the players names.
