He really has no business being a play by play guy for a non minor league sports team.Steve Mears should be announcing ribbons for best steer at the county fair.

Didn't even realize in arena that it was 300 for Phil (didn't hear the announcement).
Ryan Reaves is not good. He struggles really hard in the D zone keeping up with his guy. Also just seemed slow in comparison to Kuhnhackl and McKegg.

I was referring more to Letang messing around with the puck at the point and not being able to find the net with any of his shots. At least Schultz can put his shot on goal to bounce around to free sticks on the rebound.I miss Schultz on the point on the PP

Yes, Letang is a hot mess and should be executed, I agree.

Was a cool atmosphere at the arena last night. Was their Halloween game and the crowd was more into it than usual, really glad I went.
Best overheard interaction of the night:
"If we had Kunitz this game would be 7-1 right now."
"Hell, if we had Kunitz we'd be in the playoffs by now and it's only October!"
"Well, yeah, then Bonino would've scored too!"
Saw a guy in a Matt Cullen jersey, looked brand new as in it still had the crease from when it was folded to be shipped. Poor dude.

For me Mears is fine in that he's competent and mostly understands -unlike his predecessor- that Errey is the color guy. In the midst of a power-play I've yet to hear Mears gushing about the Lemieux Foundation or which uncle Brandon Sutter most resembles. Nevertheless Mears is the guy I heard when I used to listen to high school football on the radio.
Any Pittsburgher as old as me has been fortunate to have heard some of the best PBP and color guys of any era (Ray Goss, Bob Prince, Jim Woods, Myron, Fleming, Lange) and by comparison to the aforementioned -as well as current hockey guys like Foley/Edwards/Hughson/Cuthbert/Razor - Mears is a rice-cake. At least with Mears I won't have to mute **** like I did with Stiegerwald if I can't get the opposing team's feed.

I thought I misheard him when that was said. Who rates saves within 3 seconds, and with enough authority to have underrated them? He needed a better adjective there.
