Now we have Paul Romanuk, Healey and whoever the 3rd guys is...
Familiarity is dead. It used to be that you'd tune in to Saturday games and be familiar with the set, with the commentators, with the personalities. Bob Cole and Harry Neale for years, then Hughson and Simposn for years.... now it's one big crapshoot and there's no way to become accustomed to the broadcast any more because there's no way to know who's going to be there. Is that what Rogers wants for whatever reason? Leave it to them to go meddling around and f-ing everything up.
It's like an alienated feeling now, I feel more detached from these Saturday night games. It seems a lot more 'corporate' now. Used to be more like a personal experience with CBC, but they threw that out the window. You used to know who the commentators were going to be, and you'd know that they'd deliver an exciting broadcast. But now, you might get a good play-by-play guy, but you might also get a guy who can't deliver excitement (whatever your opinion might be for each guy). So there's no guarantee anymore that you're going to see a game where they can deliver excitement in their calls. Sucks, but we all knew this was going to be the case once Rogers took over
