I love this theme by ESPN2....Screw Bettman for extending that contract with NBC/Versus. Doc Emrick and Mike M. have NOTHING on Bill Clement and Gary Thorne.
@TheWileycyote95 Yeah bro ESPNs all MLB and NBA now its all mostly baseball and b-ball it used to be MLB, and nHL, and NBA, and NFL but VS is stupid with JR,and fatass Milbury.
@BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS yeah, you'll find a goldmind of bias on versuss, and in 2001, espn during the Eastern Conference Final were like: THe Penguins are not a great team, teh Devils wil win; the devils are better, and all of that other shit.
@TheWileycyote95 Yeah, especially JR, and Milburys fat fuck self. Theyre the most biased NHL announcers ever and they suck at there job. they cant make a right call for jack. JR really needs to learn the damn sport. I like Doc and Pierre Docs a hellofa announcer "national" NHL broadcaster/ announcer. But the best NHL annoucner ever is Pat Foley of the Hawks. Hes just amazing and hes pretty famous, KANER SHOOTS, HAWKS WIN HAkWS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!! HAWIS WIN!!!!!! HAWKS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chicago Blackhawks have the best announcer, Pat Foley, a Chicago native and been with the team for over 20 years. Hes exciting and loves the beloved Hawks! Hes fucking awesome! Look up some of Foleys famous calls on here.
@04bostonredsox07 where did you get this masterpiece, redsox?! this shit is RARE and GREAT! Thank you! I remember this being broadcast in Finnish TV on an sports channel called M4X in the late nights from approx. 1996-2000. Memories, time dusts them always...
"The ESPN2's NHL coverage is brought to you by Firestone..."
Very good memories... from the time we had hockey on TV here in Brazil. Later ESPN Brasil stopped airing ESPN2's late night programs, and then even National Hockey Night on ESPN Int'l was relegated to videotapes on late nights. And then, of course, ESPN lost the rights... At least now we have the Internet!
I remember me and my brother setting the alarm to wake up at 4AM before school to watch NHL2nite and the game from the night before on ESPN when I was in elementary school, brings back great memories. Bettmen needs to be fired and they need to bring back the NHL on ESPN
Agreed. The only way for the NHL to surpas the NBA like it should is for it to be on ESPN, Crosby and Ovechkin promoted like they should be. Betman needs to step down and Gretzky needs to take over! NOW!
I am canadian, but don't get me wrong, because these facts are true: ESPN wants the NHL entirely off network TV just like they do with the NBA and the BCS. Put more games on network, than the NHL can surpass the NBA. Fans prefer games on network than cable anyway, and ABC's NBA coverage is a bare mininum. Demote the NHL entirely to cable, and sorry, but the league would be lucky enough to keep it's head above the WNBA, and the MLS.
Nice theme. I wish themes these days were this creative. this is my first time hearing this since I was too young to pay attention to ESPN2's "deuce" era. Where can I get this? In the meantime, though, nice upload.
I totally remember this tune, I just assumed it was from watching Cinemax at 2am though.

Very underrated theme music. One of the best of that great era of NHL TV coverage (FOX/FSN and ESPN/ESPN2).
