Watched the Red Wing game on plus last night. I had a difficult time understanding or I guess sometimes even hearing what the play by play and color person was saying. Not sure if it was production or the lack of timbre in their voices.

Is it just me?

Nope.

My opinion is that the ESPN+ games run the rink mics a ton hotter than I'm used to from Bally or what NBC did. There is a lot more skate/puck/ice noise - so much so that it's distracting from the announcers.

I think Leah Hextall is very a good announcer, but the added rink noise combined with a female voice does make the adjustment from NBC, and now TNT, over to ESPN+ a bit tougher.

Oh, and what a turd of game that was last night from the Wings. Embarrasing.

I'm thinking your right. Loud rink noise combined with lack of timbre coupled with my aged ears is probably the problem.

The Wings are unwatchable anyways right now. Detroit sports suck other than the Tigers. Mark my words, they will make the playoffs this year.

I disagree. I think the Wings are pretty damn entertaining and fun to watch this season.

The Wings have made significant strides. Also, baseball sucks.

I heard a replay on FM radio and the voice levels were WAY too low. Usually they compress the hell out of the PBP and color microphones to always drown out the crowd sound.

I doubt the MLB cares that you hate it. Don’t spoil the enthusiasm that some of us have for the sport. You would pitch a bitch if the NFL got locked out.

Nope. I'm a college guy first and foremost.

The Wings have shit the bed over the past few weeks. I was rather excited about their performance until then.

I'd like to see them make the postseason.

I was too, but you cannot make the playoffs if you give up 9 or 10 goals each night. When I watched them get beat 10-7 by the Leafs, I knew this team was in trouble. I was done watching at that point.

Consistently horrid defense the last two weeks. They had a good start so that's what makes the current skid suck more.

Anyone watch NHL on TNT coverage? I really like their studio show. A fun bunch to watch. Announcing crews are good too.

I don't have cable. The Wings need to be on an over-the-air station. Maybe then I will watch them.
