    Just wondering if EJ is gonna continue to be a commentator for the NHL network, or trying to be a play-by-play announcer for NHL games as a broadcast and sits in the NHL Studios in New Jersey when there’s a game in Toronto Los Angeles, Seattle, Utah Boston. It don’t work EJ Reddick has no clue how to be a color commentator or a play-by-play guy. He sucks stick with what you do best.

    Shawn is the WORST. Having an opinion and being a contrarian aren’t the same thing.
