Are Dave Strader and Darren Pang underrated in regards to hockey game broadcasts?

Question

Just asking since I think I am the only one here that has even mentioned these too. Most of the time( in terms of covering the games) we hear about Gary Thorne, Mike Emrick, and a few others. Pierre Mcguire gets more talk on here about how bad he is at his job than the job performance for both Strader and Pang.

Didn't you guys in Michigan like Dave Strader when he covered the Red Wings for about 10 or so years?

I thought both Strader and Pang were a great duo at ESPN and even with the Yotes today. Certainly Pang does a better job than Pierre Mcguire and Pang proved that when he helped covered last year Winter Classic in Buffalo.

Both of them work on Verses during the playoffs in case anyone wants to know but are the regulars for the Yotes on FSNAZ and AZTV.

Do you guys not like Strader or Pang? Don't remember much about them???

Answer 1

I like Dave Strader as a commentator. Even if he screams a bit every now and again. He is at least enjoying what he is doing. Darren Pang tries too hard in my book. He is OK. But lacks a real personality compared to some others. He is just OK by me
