Today in our ranking of the local NHL announcers we shift our focus over to the Metropolitan Division. Home to the Penguins, Capitals, Rangers, Islanders, Flyers, Hurricanes, Devils and Blue Jackets, the Metro has some heated rivalries on the ice, but will that translate over in how fans vote for the local broadcasts?
Will a Penguins fan be able to justify giving a passing grade to the broadcast team for the Flyers or Capitals? We’ll soon find out.
Below, give each team’s broadcast duo a rating. If you have a strong opinion for any broadcast team, make sure you leave those thoughts in the comments.
