Is anyone else appalled by the bias coverage by Versus and NBC?  Quite frankly it's embarrassing...

And to top it off you have these goons in Boston parroting everything they have been fed.  Unbearable

I haven't seen any bias coverage. Both home venues got a bit of a nudge.

Vs hasnt been so bad for the cup but im biased as hell.

You mean the guy that used to play for the B's ?  Yeah he is a bit, but he's not the guy you have to listen to the whole game. I just tune him out. I think the other studio guys are fine.

I would figure Milbury would be a given for everyone.  But I guess I give to much credit to some posters.

During the Nucks home games I heard a slight bias for them also.  Just playing for the home teams as usual.

Looking forward to game 5

Watch the game drunk and just enjoy the game, that is all I do...seriously only commentator I like to hear is Stan Van Gundy cuz he cracks me up...no one else is funny or offers any special insight that I care about.

I love to hear Stan and the other announcers rag on each other.  Worth watching just for that.

We can have an entire forum dedicated to his best one liners...I don't remember the last game he did that didn't make me laugh at least once. It will be interesting to see who they bring in for JACKSON.

Yeah when the Canucks get outscored 12-1 over 2 games they really should say more nice things about them. What a bunch of biased homers
