I didn't watch the game... only caught the highlights on NHL.com, but from those clips, it sounded like he did a great job calling the play by play. Lots of energy. Well paced. I'm impressed. |

I think a lot of us were just happy it wasn't Mark Jeanneret. |

I like Mark Jeanneret, but he isn't perfect. Too quiet/monotone when calling games. Sounds like a crack addled eight year old announcing goals. Tries to say too much in his PBP at times. From what I heard of the highlights, Kevin Sylvester was alright. I have three big knocks of him. Not enough creativity on goal calls. Too much energy on opponents' goals. I like the RJ deadpan... "and they score, or whatever, who cares." Tends to fumble his words sometimes. |

I thought Kevin was fantastic tonight, definitely better alternative to Mark Jeanneret (IMO). Well paced, generally exciting... enjoyable. |

Agreed on Alex's assessment on the opponent goals, but otherwise I liked it. He doesn't do PBP at all except on these RJ vacations, so that he only fumbled a few times wasn't bad. And hell yes on the Happy Drew Year call for the hat trick goal...that's legit PBP work RJ would've been proud to call himself. |

No, not being biased is being fair on offering your opinion on penalty calls/non-calls. No one listening to WGR or watching MSG wants even a shred of excitement for opponents goals. And if opposing fans are watching, fuck em. Some of our fans have to deal with their shitty feeds. |

If Sylvester walked over to the Bruins booth and knocked Jack Edwards right the fuck out, I would never want to hear RJ again. I wish I had watched the Bruins feed just hear Edwards bitch and moan. Anyway, I thought Sylvester did a fine job. After all these years hearing, "...takes the SHO-ot" or "---- CLEARED it in front" when it's nothing more than a desperate low percentage flail pass from the side boards, I enjoy hearing a different voice once in a while. |

MJ sounds like Judge Doom when we score. |

I was VERY impressed by KS's play by play last night. Much improved since the last time I heard him call it. |

I honestly preferred Mark Jeanneret. KS just rubs me the wrong way doing PBP for some reason. |

I'll say the same thing I said about MJ. Anyone that isn't RJ is going to be ripped by someone because he's not RJ. It's not fair, but that's what it is. That being said, I didn't mind KS last night. Much better than previous kicks at the can. They both have performed admirably on this vacation IMO. |

RJ pisses me off sometimes because I'll be fixing a sandwich or getting a beer and hear him belt out an energetic goal call just to find out that after I run into the living room that it was the other guys. |

Mark Jeanneret was waaay too quiet. He knew his shit, though. |

One of the things people hate about RJ is his blandness for the other team. I still want him to be louder for us, but if he can be a little loud for the opponent he'd be the perfect announcer. |
