Did you think Caps Radio’s John Walton did well in subbing for Joe Beninati on the Monumental+ telecast of last night’s game? (I watched the ESPN telecast on Disney+, having turned off Mounumental+ after March.)

Yeah I mean he had chemistry with Locker and the play calling was good. Honestly felt like he’d been doing it for months instead of just this once. Love Joe B and hope he gets better though!
He did great! John’s calls especially on the radio are just as iconic as Joe B’s.
Walton is really good. Did a great job!
Walton is most likely the heir apparent when Joe and Locker hang them up, so we better get used to it!
Walton was excellent. I enjoyed spending three hours with him last night and would be happy to do so again… but I still prefer Joe B.
Walton’s great, no issue at all. Caps are blessed to have Joe B, Locker and Walton.
Locker and Walton have a good chemistry, not the same as with Joe B.
Kinda like your dad backing out of a fishing trip and being replaced with your favorite uncle. You still have a great time, just a little different.
So we have Joe B on TV and John Walton on the radio. I don’t think there is a team in all of sports with a better broadcasting configuration than the Washington Capitals.
I knew he was going to be great, he’s done games for the late NBCSN plus the Olympic tournament.
I think Walton did great, and he’s great on the radio. My only critique is his call has a bit less poise compared to a tv vet like Joe B., which isn’t noticeable on the radio, but apparent when you’re watching the play live. I’m sure it’s just a matter of adjustment and experience with live tv. He’s great at what he does!
