If the Jets hold onto the eighth overall pick, TSN Director of Scouting @CraigJButton feels Boston University's Tynan Lawrence would be a good fit. #NHLJets

100% Hockey

The NHL starts in about 50 days…It will mark the first season since 1952, that the TV schedule will not include the name “Hockey Night In Canada”.
Over the next few weeks we will pay tribute to Hockey Night, and what it meant to work on the show and what defined its success. Some of the show’s biggest names take the time to talk to Daren and me on their time on #HNIC.

We hope you enjoy the shows as much as we did creating them. It all starts on Tuesday with the great Dick Irvin.

Well, @JeffMarek nails it here. "Usually your radio crew in hockey are some of the best ambassadors for your team. These are the men and women that go out and do all the hits on other radio stations and podcasts and talk about your team. They're at all the practices. They're at all the games."

@KellyHrudey @TomGulittiNHL Pleasure working with you Kelly. You are one of the best people I know. It’s been a great run and I’m sure something great is in your future.

@AndyMc81 @millionsdotco Why do you have to take a turn to Negative Town? (He’s not wrong). Hard to be excited about the Dolphins in 2026. But I will do my best to find joy.

This is an excellent read. It is unacceptable that this simulcasting trend is growing in the NHL.

With a TV call you can go long stretches where you let the visuals tell the story with no talking backing it up. That, obviously, doesn't work for radio.

Also, on radio the first rule is 'mention the score every 2 minutes' as people are popping in and out of the broadcast especially in their cars. That, obviously, doesn't happen on tv (there's a score bug for that).

Another issue is hearing an analysts say things like "as you can see here' or 'watch this' as they talk over replays. No good for radio.

This is just a couple of reasons why TV simulcasts always sound 'off' on radio and can be frustrating for the person listening.
