NHL on NBC Theme

[@Rangerstown00]

End of an era. Regardless of what you thought of NBC, this theme was a BANGER. Will live on forever.

Pierre doesn't always talk about Crosby. Sometimes he talks about a coworkers long stick while standing awkwardly close to him.

[@ChevCamaro]

Pierre: yea guys I spoke with Sidney Crosby while he was shitting earlier. He was struggling to get it out and made a large splash. Im guessing it weighed about 4 pounds which means he should be a lot faster during tonight’s game against the Flyers. And now let’s discuss the game we are actually covering. The Red Wings are a team on the downfall and the Blackhawks need Patrick Kane to show up or they will struggle tonight. Now let’s hand it over to the sexy and amazing Kathryn Tappen back at the studio. Kathryn???

[@chrisguardiano6143]

@@faisalamalo3695 along with oddly enough CBS/Turner in a joint bid. Those two work together for March Madness and the reason why it is a joint bid is because the NHL doesn't want games on the new Paramount+ streaming service and wants those games on cable especially the ones that ESPN isn't doing. This is why Turner with TBS/TNT is a part of the bid. They are unlikely to get the NHL in my view when compared to Fox or NBC because of this. Besides CBS has said that they want soccer rights especially the Premier League to grow Paramount+'s sports portfolio and Turner is more focused on trying to keep the NBA and their portion of the MLB contract.

[@twicethechamps]

I will forever associate this theme with the sport's return from the lockout, the epic two series between the Penguins and Red Wings, the Hawks' dynasty, the Kings' OT thriller in 2014, and the Blues finally getting it done. It was also really cool to have the same announcers during the Olympics (albeit with different theme music), especially in 2010 and 2014. While I am no doubt thrilled to have ESPN back and its theme, I will miss NBC's coverage.
