Not totally sure so I'll say "yes"

Dunleavy isn't RJ. That's a good thing.

That's exactly how my wife answered me when I proposed.

Hot take... I can't listen to RJ anymore.
it's just sad now.

Agreed. I started questioning his calls ever since "Oh now do you believe...now do you believe..."

So lame. I remember cringing big-time at that moment.

Same

But considering the ratings in Buffalo are consistently the best in the country, I feel they should pander to me more, and I should see them more while still hating the experience

Unpopular opinion. The NBC broadcasts are slick, smooth, and really well presented. Doc is a legend calling games.

The MSG broadcasts are basically awful. Rob Ray is a joke, Dunleavy is an uninformed homer, and RJ is beyond washed up. The only one who is any good at all is Biron. Also, the colour and picture quality isn't even as good.

I'm guessing no one here watches Centre Ice, because MSG is consistently one of the worst broadcasts you can watch.

Unpopular opinions are unpopular for a reason sometimes.

Is NBCSN still impossible to find on cable TV in the States, or do they have better coverage now?

Usually. Either that, or an idea is too revolutionary for the masses. Mike Milbury is the opposite of that.

It's easy to find. Always has been. If you have a cable subscription, just go to their website or the app on your firestick.. or the actual channel. If you don't, go to reddit, or a bar, or steal someone's cable login for the firestick.

I find him insufferable

Jim Hughson is the GOAT in my book, but I'd take Gary Thorne over the human thesaurus that is doc emerick

The intermissions are nothing special. But they call the game really well.

Dunleavy doesn't even know the other players on the other teams. But then that's probably perfect for half his viewership I guess. It's more of a buffalo broadcast than a professional hockey broadcast.

That's really not necessary.

Go around the league. Go listen to Jack (frank)ing Edwards. Tell me you're not jamming pencils down your ear canals.
