I'm very happy to see a game in which 8 goals are being scored and 7 of them are actually called. With Michaels in realtime it would be the embarassment of talking about a movie while the goal is scored, telling a *joke*, cackling at his own banter, and basically doing anything other than calling the play. At least last night we wouldn't be hearing him "That puck stayed out" on dozens of our shots.Can't stand Jack when he tries to put his "Big Boy Voice" on after some action and his non-stop filler info is enuf to have me working the Mute Button constantly. I'll take Singh any day.
the hat trick non-call was a learning moment for him. I mentioned how lame it was in the GDT. Overall Singh was good IMHO but it was like he didn't want to interrupt Debrusk's story. In the future Singh's got to just yell over DeBrusk like he isn't there and not worry about being polite.Mediocre again tonight. Yes it was a blowout but that hat trick non-call was a travesty.
Debrusk was really off. Like I mentioned. Like something is wrong with him. It was strange. It was as if he didn't even like seeing a successful Oilers club like this and maybe comparing it to what his playing, and playing days are like. He's a nice man, and self deprecating a lot, but he seemed to have trouble last night with the Oilers having such success. He kept trying to throw shade over it. "oilers better be careful here" "Kings are really coming"the hat trick non-call was a learning moment for him. I mentioned how lame it was in the GDT.

I’ve been wondering if all the regional broadcast teams have been told to tone down the homerism during the playoffs. Would make sense if they’re all being televised nationally, but i don’t know.Debrusk was really off. Like I mentioned. Like something is wrong with him. It was strange.

ffs that the Broadcast, the Oilers broadcast actually did the Miracle on Manchester segment before the 3rd period. What kind of asshat thing is that to do? I could see the Kings broadcast doing that. Why would the Oilers broadcast be spewing worst possible negativity? We're used to the broadcasts being bad, then they get worse.
‘Learning moments’ in the SC Playoffs? OK then.the hat trick non-call was a learning moment for him. I mentioned how lame it was in the GDT
The Kings crew did it as well. They also had a nice intermission panel with knowledgeable folks making reasonable comments. Nice to see Anson Carter. Always liked him. Their play by play was homer-ish, but professional and followed the rhythm of the game. They also gave the Oilers plenty of credit. I did not have to see Hrudey, Gene or Singh. I’m never watching another Oilers ‘home’ broadcast again. f*** em.ffs that the Broadcast, the Oilers broadcast actually did the Miracle on Manchester segment before the 3rd period.

I don’t want the PBP guy or color guy to be over the top homers, but just enough that you know they are the home team crew. Wasn’t offended at all my Louie’s comments. I thought the Kings effort was outstanding last night, likely as well as they can play, so a few nice words about their play was fine. Singh was behind the play too much, especially on a few of his goal calls. But heck, we won 8-2, I’m not gonna be too critical of anything or anybody, don’t sweat the small stuff sort of thing.Debrusk was really off. Like I mentioned. Like something is wrong with him.

Nah, it didn't bother me at all. Just pointing out that when Debrusk isn't with Michaels he turns into critical Remenda. He was spotting dark clouds all night in an 8-2W. I thought that was really odd. Kings have their own broadcast. It isn't like this was a Canadian broadcast of two Canadian clubs and a need to be impartial.I don’t want the PBP guy or color guy to be over the top homers, but just enough that you know they are the home team crew.

Louie is just more comfortable with Jack, they make a great pair. The chemistry between Singh and Louie really hasn’t improved from day 1 of their tenure. I think Louie might try too hard when he is with Singh, like a player does when covering for a teammates deficiency, he gets away a bit from his own game. With Jack, Louie has a limited amount of time to talk. With Singh, much more dead air space that needs to be filled.Nah, it didn't bother me at all.

At first I thought i was mistaken that it was a hat trick or something - there was no realization from him that it was for some time.Mediocre again tonight. Yes it was a blowout but that hat trick non-call was a travesty.

I watch on Shaw satellite so don't stream the game and have the option of the LA feed, otherwise I likely would give it a try. We are fortunate that he doesn't do the vibrato thing anymore though.I know what you mean but I’m glad we have a guy learning on the job on the biggest stage when we could have someone (not even necessarily Jack) who matches the energy of the game. Singh’s calls last night were suitable to junior AAA, and even then…
Guy was zoned out, regardless of Louie’s banter. Amateur hour clown show. Glad I don’t pay for Sportsnet anymore. Maybe more people would pay if they upped the production quality (not just pbp choices, but production, service, analysis - get rid of McLean for ex)
Now that he stopped that vibrato shit I am completely fine watching the SN broadcast. Only time I notice is when exciting stuff is happening and I don’t hear talking.. just silence/waiting.I watch on Shaw satellite so don't stream the game and have the option of the LA feed, otherwise I likely would give it a try.

Anyway, what's the petition at?
Yes, they cared so much about the feeling of leaf fans we had to deal with Jim freakin Hughson who hates the team gleefully cheer for the opposition every game, not to mention Craig Simpson who also openly hates Toronto.The flames regional broadcaster Rick Ball was allowed to continue for the playoffs, that is more than we have asked for Jack Michaels. They also let Cassie loose to go do American broadcasts of LAK/EDM.
The Leafs get the most veteran, experienced, professional broadcast team available to CBC/Sportsnet, including an Edmonton Oilers dynasty player.
The Oilers are the only Canadian team that is being treated differently. So yes, you are completely wrong, but I suspect you already knew that.
Practically, the only thing you “know perfectly well” if you have read this far, is that you are a complete ignoramus.
This is not an isolated incident, in fact there have been multiple petitions in past years about Sportsnet decisions impacting the Oilers broadcast. They do not take the views of the fanbase into account when making decisions. They do treat Montreal and Toronto differently.
So once again, other than derailing this thread and making yourself look like a complete jackass, do you have any business here? I hope your mother doesn’t know The type of person you’ve become.
Simmer gave up his Oiler card years ago and is quite comfy in his Leaf PJ’s. He doesn’t even try to hide his Leaf bias.Yes, they cared so much about the feeling of leaf fans we had to deal with Jim freakin Hughson who hates the team gleefully cheer for the opposition every game, not to mention Craig Simpson who also openly hates Toronto.
Give your head a shake.
Lol he hates the leafsSimmer gave up his Oiler card years ago and is quite comfy in his Leaf PJ’s. He doesn’t even try to hide his Leaf bias.
Jack is fine until he decides to start screaming, then it gets super annoying. A calmer Jack is great. lol.Can't stand Jack when he tries to put his "Big Boy Voice" on after some action and his non-stop filler info is enuf to have me working the Mute Button constantly. I'll take Singh any day.
