No comment beyond this: Dave Jackson is one of today's refs for Flyers-Penguins. Young ref Frederick L'Ecuyer is the other.

Nothing like having your worst ref work a nationally televised game with an AHL call up

Not that it really matters, but that was the most one sided intro to a nationally televised game ive ever seen

lets go boys, come out with a fire lit under your asses

Oh boy. Are you guys ready for the Crosby Slobber fest? I cant wait. I hope emmerick has a bib on to prevent the slobber from dripping on the mic.

Seriously we should count how many times they bring up Crosby when he isnt on the ice...

I think Im going to be sick.

Did Pierre just say the Pens had Jagr and Malkin?

Yep. They got Jagr this morning in a trade for Kunitz and Ben Lovejoy

SLOBBER!

SLOBBER!

You could tell Pierre was just waiting for his first line of the show

Bob was FA signing too.

OH joy, A live Crosby Iso cam!

SLOBBER!
- RooNosHockey

Iso cam for Crosby so if you cant get enough of the verbal slobber, you can watch just him... Im suprised thats not the main NBC feed.

Don't these guys know that Crosby doesn't go offside?

The word is Crosby demanded the iso cam before he would agree to return. He's such a diva.

I dont understand why NBC has Doc doing the national games, I havent ran into anyone who enjoys his work

Yep, Just like people that disliked Bryzgalov being goofy, Crosby demands editorial control over his ISO cam appearances

Thank goodness his original request for the Crosby Taint Cam was denied.

Pierre is off and running...if we get Milbury and Roenick in on the act, it will be the trifecta of crappy broadcasting...

The problem isn't really Doc, even though he's lost a few MPH off his fastball...it's Ed Olczyk and Pierre with Doc. It's as if NBC purposely hired the most annoying analysts.

dont know which "c" word i hate most.... crosby or concussion

Crosby has a clause to approval all articles writen about him... and the announcers have to pay him for every 5 minutes they dont mention his name... He is such an attention whore.

Doc's problem is his shrill voice and annoying commentary. Can't stand the guy.

Unless yhou put them together like crosbys concussion.

My cousins girlfriend's friend works at NBC, apparently it was between this and the Dupuis cam. It was close.
