During the ongoing NHL playoffs, many fans were strongly dissatisfied with the broadcast team led by ESPN. Some fans were enraged by the announcers, who were led by ESPN during Monday's game between the Dallas Stars and the Minnesota Wild.

Here's how some fans reacted to the ESPN announcers for the Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars Game 1:
