Marc Methot, a former NHLer, expressed his disappointment over the broadcast coverage of the Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes matchup on Wednesday.
Methot, who has been vocal about his opinions, took to the X, formerly Twitter, and slammed the broadcasters for their coverage of the Oilers' game against the Hurricanes.
The former Ottawa Senators defenseman was left feeling "very annoyed" with the broadcasters for being slow and restricting potential scrum or fight scenes during the game.
Methot said this was the second time in the game that the broadcaster chose to cut down on a potential fight or scrum on the ice:

"Why, for the love of God, is the video feed always late cutting back to a scrum or potential fight happening on the ice? We don’t care about the random player straight legging it towards a puck after the whistle. It’s happened twice so far in this Car/Edm game. I’m very annoyed."
Meanwhile, the contest between the two teams ended with the Hurricanes securing a dominant 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
