If we're being honest, us English-listening hockey fans are missing out on a lot. Many broadcasters nowadays often use the crowd noise to carry the narratives after big goals.

There’s nothing wrong with that approach! But, there’s something about the rush of emotion from a broadcaster in the heat of the moment after a goal that we don’t often experience. For example, take this Finnish commentator’s call on Kasperi Kapanen’s gold medal-winning goal in overtime that lifted Finland over Russia, 4-3, earlier on Tuesday.
