Anton Stralman Will Make New York Rangers Debut Tonight

Please scratch Del Zotto

That’s one of the reasons why some announcers work in the Big Apple and others work in the backwoods! It’s called TALENT!
 You guys that have MSG don’t have to listen to the garbage announcers in the hinterlands, like I do, just because I live in Florida. After a diet of Rimer and Povin, the Panthers finally hired a different “team”, Steve “Goldy” Goldstein and “Billy” Lindsay. After listening to a couple of games done by these two Homers, you would think that every Panther pass is FANTASTIC, every deke is MARVELOUS, and every hit is MAGNIFICENT. As far as they are concerned, the opposition doesn’t exist, and the game is won before the Panthers even took the ice! I really don’t know which broadcast team is worse, but either team must turned away lots more fans than they attracted.
I know Micheletti isn’t in Chadwick or JD’s class, but he’s WAY better as a color commentator than Lindsay or Potvin, or, God forbid “Chico” Resch!!!!!
 Since I don’t pay much attention to the other broadcast teams from the lesser teams from the other parts of the USA and ESPECIALLY Canada, I don’t know their names, but I’m do know they’ll never work in any mainstream market!!!
 If I could, I’d pay 2-3 X what I’m paying for NHL Center Ice If I could get MSG, But it’s just not available in Florida from Comcast (but that’s another subject entirely).
Count your blessings!!!!
