I'm gonna need this to grow on me but it's nowhere near as good as NBC or ESPN themes for the NHL or the NBA on TNT theme which is one of the best sports themes of all-time but it has potential.
@@pinheadlarry8688 Nah that ESPN theme is iconic and great, TNT theme can't even sniff it. You need to go back and watch the great intros associated with the ESPN theme. The two that I prefer looking up on RU-vid are the Nordiques-Rangers 1995 and Red Wings-Sharks 1995 intros. Those intros were beautiful in the way they described those playoff games. The MNF and Olympics intros are outdated too but still GOATs. The older themes were better than today's generic sports themes. TNT's theme comes off generic especially compared to their great NBA on TNT theme this was a huge letdown in my opinion. They need to redo it next year as it doesn't even sniff the NHL on NBC theme.
They played this theme in the intro to the first intermission report and there were technical issues with the mics, so I got a relatively clean version for part of it. I used the vocal removal effect in Audacity for the parts where people were talking over the theme.
@@sportsvideos7228 but, in the first week (NY Rangers at Caps and Hawks at Av's) the theme was in a higher pitch! But that was only on studio Segments, not the main title.
Decent NHL theme, but no wear near as good as ESPN NHL theme they use now and used from 1992-2004 before their 17 year absence from NHL . Even NBC NHL theme was better. This is somewhat good though. Kind of like John Williams NBC Sunday Night football theme, maybe a little worse. Like John Williams SNF theme is pretty good, but not near as good as the Randy Edelman theme they used from 1995-1997. Same to be said about this NHL theme vs ESPN's and even NBC's.
