Inside the NHL Broadcast Battle: Which 2025 Coverage Fans Can’t Stop Watching?
Local score: 4.89 (4th)
National score: 3.31 (6th)
Last season rank: 8
The results: Alex Ovechkin’s chase of hockey’s all-time goals record put the national spotlight on the Capitals this season, and that included highlighting the high-quality work of Washington’s broadcast team multiple times, something fans singled out for praise.
Beninati’s more than 30 years behind the mic have made him a local institution, but the quality of his calls was also highlighted by many viewers in other markets.
“Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin have been the announcers my entire life. It really wasn’t until I started watching more national broadcasts that I realized just how good these guys are. Joe B. has so many phenomenal Ovechkin goal calls, and Laughlin has always been right there with him, providing a quieter but just as valuable complement.”
