ESPN scheduled the baseball game at 7 pm E.T. and the NHL playoff game at 10:00 pm E.T. The baseball matchup ended up being a slaughter; the St. Louis Cardinals rolled the Boston Red Sox 9-1 in the bottom of the ninth, as fate would have it this was during the same time that the Oilers and Knights were supposed to face off and instead of transitioning the baseball game over to ESPN 2 (which would have been the logical thing to do) sports fans were forced to watch the conclusion of the dreadful contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here is how ESPN aired the opening goal in Vegas-Edmonton Game 6. With Karl Ravech calling a split-screen during a 9-1 baseball game. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TEaiDaW0Fi\">pic.twitter.com\/TEaiDaW0Fi<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/awfulannouncing\/status\/1657936119391039488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 15, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of hockey fans watching Las Vegas Knights&#8217; right winger Reilly Smith score the opening goal in the game&#8217;s opening minute or Conor McDavid&#8217;s goal to respond, they had to endure a grossly underwhelming baseball game in May at that. So to salvage the coverage the worldwide leader had lost, they decided to split the screen, essentially showing both games at once. So naturally, this decision left the sports world wondering how much does ESPN care about Hockey if they were willing to split a game six-elimination game in the Stanley Cup Western Conference Semi-Finals for a laugher of a May MLB game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NHL&#8217;s History with ESPN<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it&#8217;s music, movies, or sports, the 90s are seen by most as the golden era, and the same could be said for ESPN&#8217;s relationship with Hockey. Before its 2004 departure from the network, the NHL premiered some of the greatest games the league has ever premiered on ESPN\u2014for example, the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals matchup between the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers. Captain Mark Messier guarantees a Rangers win in Game 6 to force a Game 7. Messier erupts after going down 2-1 entering the third period, delivering the Rangers the lead and eventual win. He scored the game-winning goal from a rebounded Alex Kovalev shot on the Devils&#8217; Martin Brodeur. The game was aired on ESPN&#8217;s National Hockey Night, and hockey fans everywhere can still hear Gary Thorne&#8217;s call, shouting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overtimeheroics.net\/2021\/03\/12\/espns-best-games-involving-the-nhl-from-the-1990s-to-2000s\/\">&#8220;DO YOU BELIEVE IT? DO YOU BELIEVE IT?!!&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may remember the 1996 Game 7 Western Conference Semi-final matchup between the Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues. It was a back-and-forth series between two teams that featured hockey greats like The Great One, Wayne Gretzky, Steve Yzerman, and Nicklas Lidstrom, to name a few. The game eventually went to double overtime, with Yzerman hitting the game-winning goal capitalizing off Gretzky&#8217;s inability to handle a turnover. So Gary Thorne is on the call again <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overtimeheroics.net\/2021\/03\/12\/espns-best-games-involving-the-nhl-from-the-1990s-to-2000s\/\">SCOOOOOORRREEE!!! STEVE YZERMAN!!! DETROIT WINS!!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;Clear the puck! Come on!&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHL returned to ESPN to start the 2021-2022 season through a seven-year media rights deal paying a little over<a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/4222479\/2021\/03\/09\/espn-nhl-agree-to-7-year-broadcast-deal\/\"> $400 million<\/a> to the NHL annually. ESPN has shown some of the greatest hockey games, as mentioned above, and although those games are over two decades, they mean something to hockey fans everywhere. Though baseball takes priority over playoff hockey, ESPN owes it to its viewers to honor its scheduling obligations. Given its history on the network, the Stanley Cup playoffs deserve a full screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can ESPN do any worse with their NHL hockey coverage?
