Murphy vs. Errey

Larry Murphy and Bob Errey have been providing their analysis of the Stanley Cup Finals for the NHL Network and I am noticing a bit of team pride coming through.
Murphy provides analysis for the Red Wings TV broadcast network during the regular season and first two rounds of the playoffs and Errey does the same for the Penguins. Both men did play for the other team too durng their NHL career but as this series goes deeper and deeper, their ‘homer’ hats are being worn.
I am enjoying the banter between the two, with Murphy having the last word after the Wings victory in game 5. What is next is a question yet to be answered, but I am sure the intensity between the two will pick up even more.

Errey said the series was over after Game 4 and the Pens would win in 6. Oops.

My favorite part was when the word “Kronwall” almost strangled Errey in the pregame. Classic.

You know, they did the same thing during last year’s Finals series… they had both Errey and Murphy then too.

Primis, I also remember they did this last year. I didn’t like it then & I don’t like it now. If you aren’t a Detroit or Pittsburgh fan they just come across as two designated team representatives too pre-occupied trying to one-up each other to provide meaningful analysis or insight. Throw in Murphy’s stuttering & profuse sweating, add Errey’s slurred muttering & enormous nostrils - you’ve got some seriously bad TV.

It is an interesting dynamic, especially since both guys played for both teams. I’ve enjoyed listening to them both, because I think they do what analysts in their position SHOULD do… they’re allowed to be homers (we expect it, because we know their regular season jobs) but they still provide pretty even-handed analysis. At least, Murph does when he’s not stumbling/slurring his words. God bless him. As an analyst-duo, they beat the hell out of any combination of McGuire, Milbury, and Olzcyk.
