15 minutes in before they get into an actual game. Sometimes it’s okay to edit your videos a little giant bomb.

Year after year, I feel like EA just doesn't care but there are no other options.

Same as Madden. It's been this way for aeons.

I know he's not technically Giant Bomb staff... but I'm going to ask for it anyways :p

Why isn't there a Jeff and Alex play hockey feature? Even if it was just during playoff season, having these two sit down once a week to shit talk the current NHL'XX and talk Hockey would be super dope.

Call me a stickler but I don’t think Devils is supposed to have an apostrophe. Or at least in between the L and S. Unless your referring to Satan himself, of course.

I can't say that I agree with them in regards to the NBC announcers. I feel Doc Emerick says stuff just to say stuff and often times doesn't know what he's talking about and, being a Wings fan, I can't stand Eddie Olczyk (Blackhawks announcer). The voice of the NHL will always be Dave Strader RIP.

Wish EA would bring their hockey franchise to the PC like they finally did with Madden.

That was painful to watch...both gameplay wise and the overall sports knowledge being spouted. Bummer on both accounts.

Hate the Pens. Love Phil Kessel. Well, as much one could love someone who plays for a filthy team like the Pens.

Yeah, video game hockey experts they are not. Not even Jeff even though he and others in the crew seem to think so.

Learn the BASIC controls before blaming them. How about using LB/L1 to control your poke checks? Also you can set game realism and speed to your liking.

This was kinda frustrating to watch, had to pause several times to get through.

Cloth physics are still creepy-looking. It's like they're wearing silk shirts.

The most upsetting thing about NHL 19 is that it's still not on PC.

These Americans talking about Emerich being the voice of hockey, I don't even.

They need the full Hockey Night in Canada package in these games, what is EA even doing.

@hardtarget: The last thing the game needs is Don Cherry in it. He's a relic of the past and needs to go away with his simple minded thinking. And Bob Cole can't even get players names right half the time. No thanks.

They used to have Jim Hughson do the EA NHL games with Bill Clement, those were some rough years of repetitive play calling. Not that its better now.

@devilzrule27: luckily Bob Cole doesn't call most games for cbc! Cherry does suck though and I would not want in a game.

Hughson is fantastic. They just need to record more lines.

How long does Jeff let Alex get away with that Martin Brodeur pronunciation?

An hour of grumpy middle-aged men b*tching about life not meeting their expecations, thinly veiled as commentary on a hockey video game. This is why I come to Giant Bomb Dot Com.
