So I’m assuming Versus is using the CSN-CA feed tonight? As a Sharks fan, I won’t complain, but I have to admit I’m a little surprised.
Why wouldn’t they? They own CSN and there’s no reason not to use the feed. While I hate most Local announcers, the Sharks probably have one of the best crews in the league. Not crazy homers and they call the game right.
It would be much better if they took the TSN feed, but oh well….
This is low rent stuff to have the CSN crew when you’re going to televise the game on NBC sunday with Strader’s crew.
