I expect some homerism from a team's announcers. At least it isn't as nauseating as the Pens' guys.

I should find the clip of the local Toronto announcer who was screaming thank you Kessel a bunch of times and the Leafs are making it to the second round thank you Kessel after Kessel makes it 4-1

Didn't Jack Edwards call play-by-play for NHL games on ESPN back in the day?
Anyway, the Rangers announced that the NHL has finalized a deal with Yankee Stadium for 2 outdoor games next season, Rangers vs. Devils on Jan. 26th and Rangers vs. Islanders Jan. 29th.

As much as I rip Jack Edwards sometimes, he actually did a decent job calling game 7. He had a pretty high/excited intensity even when Toronto was kicking the crap out of the Bruins. And I'm sorry...but that call was awesome.

Like someone said Homer's are execused when its local broadcasts but when it's National there shouldn't be bias. I think the Oilers local guys are great at putting both teams over and they aren't negative when the other team scores most of the time and aren't so in your face when they score. That's something most Flames fans actually admit when they broadcast the Battle of Alberta on the local stations and its Edmonton commentators turn to commentate. And it's rare for a Flames fan admit something like that. Especially yesterday when a Oilersnation and Flamesnation had a crossover article with most Flames fans saying Mikael Backlund is a infinitely better 2007 draft pick than Sam Gagner.

@nhlplayersafety: Raffi Torres of the San Jose Sharks will have an in-person hearing with the Dept. of Player Safety on Thursday.
Uh-oh. That's never good.

By the way, the hit in question I don't see as that big of a deal to warrant a 5 or more game suspension, which a visit to the Dept. of Player Safety normally means.

So will the NHL give Raffi Torres the Matt Cooke ultimatum?

I won't lie, even though he's kind of a douche sometimes, I like the guy. He's a good coach

I probably like Torts more than every other Devils fan. His one word press conferences amuse me.
That said, I love how Jekyll and Hyde our area's sports fans can be. Within the space of 48 hours, Rangers fans have gone from demanding he be fired to declaring him the best coach in the NHL.

In 2011, Claude Julien went through the same thing. Sitting down 0-2 to Montreal, everyone called for his head. Along the way after beating Montreal, a lot of people (Looking at you, Michael Felger) kept saying they were winning in spite of him. Once they won the cup, a lot of his critics had to admit that he wasnt the worst coach ever. Of course, now it's all starting back up again.

Apparently Ovechkin was playing the last two games of the series and today's IIHF with a hairline fracture on his foot
