ESPN2 coverage of the Flyers/Lightning was awful!

I've been watching CBC's Hockey Night In Canada for years. I especially like thier coverage during the playoffs and watch them exclusively. ESPN flat out stinks. I've grown tired of thier rhetoric. They're so frickin predicable it's ridiculous. Crappy announcers.
In my neck of the woods though (Detroit) you can't beat Mickey Redmon for his Wings commentary. He's not as forward as Cherry but he's very good.
And I agree, that thing with Fedentenko, that's Hockey.

They kept changing camera angles as though they were providing something vital but it was for no reason whatsoever, usually missing the action at or near the puck. KISS! Keep it simple stupid! Aside from that, they continually ran the sports ticker at the bottom of the screen throughout the entire game. It was distracting and unnecessary. This is the conference finals for cryin' out loud, not some lumberjack or stongest man competition!
I repeat, ESPN2 SUCKS.
Swish, going to take his sedative now.
