Since those of us who weren’t there last night were all forced to listen to last night’s game on the radio, I figured I’d throw this out there.
 
A little background: I’m a Capitals fan, but I live in the Boston area for school.  I almost never see Caps games on TV.  Not only do I not have a Center Ice package, but my cable plan doesn’t even have Versus (Hi!  I’m a grad student!)  I do get NESN, so I get to see Bruins games, which is OK (Jack Edwards notwithstanding), but the bottom line is I don’t really want to follow the Bruins, I want to follow the Capitals.  So when Boston and Washington are playing on the same night, most likely the TV is off and NHL Radio is on.  (Unless, of course, they’re playing each other.)  Sometimes I listen to the opposing team’s broadcast just to hear it called from a different perspective.  I dig Steve Kolbe, but sometimes a change of pace is nice.
 
So I guess that’s my open question – does anyone else use/rely on/like to check out the radio broadcasts?
