Thread: ESPNs debut was TRASH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mintyfresh</b></div><div>Honestly making fun of some of the teams is fine, but Chris Fowler clearly knew nothing about hockey. Thats the embarrassing part. The celebrities they invited disrespected the sport. Like when Kemp said "he only watches the fights" like come on. At least pretend to care about hockey, a sport you just paid to broadcast.

There was clearly zero effort into the broadcast. I felt like the NHL did a disservice to ESPN at first when they didn't fix the leak issue, but as soon as I saw the broadcast, it was clear no one cared at ESPN anyway. Which is a huge missed opportunity all around, because there was so much intrigue, if everything was secret, and you brought in real hockey broadcasters for analysis, the shock that people and fans would've had to the picks and lack of trades as a surprise would've been great.

It was a team effort of disaster.</div></div>

I don't hate Fowler but hes not the guy for that. Weeks should have been doing the hosting and not being wasted with all the gimmick work.
