Is Greg Millen the new Paul Romanuk?

[DarkKnight]

He brings down every telecast he's part of, and it's one of life's mysteries he has a gig. My working theory, he has compromising photos of the Rogers CEO.

The worst colour man I've ever heard.

 

[FlyingLeafus]

Millen is far worse than Romanuk was. I would rather watch the game with honest and objective commentary than with blue and white goggles on. Millen seems to really enjoy tooting his own horn when he really is never adding much substance to the broadcast. The game has passed him by, hopefully the guys in charge of this sort of thing take note like they did with Romanuk.

There should be a Millen drinking game for every time he says puck possession. He must think he sounds new age and relevant, although I’m not sure he entirely knows what it means.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Greg Millen is terrible, not sure why the most popular hockey team on the planet has some of the worst broadcasting crews.

Miss the days of Bowen and Ralph.

 

[Semantics]

It's a travesty that they fired Mike Johnson, he offered so much insight in his analysis... Millen offers none. You'd never know he played in the NHL, he doesn't seem to know any more than some random joe off the street.

Do what I do ,
Audio Off
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You guys complain about every single commentator ever. Gets so old. They do 1000x better than I would so I'm not complaining.

 

[Duke Silver]

A coin flip would be more accurate than Millen's interpretations of offside/goaltender interference reviews.

 

[stakesishigh]

He's bad.

But he isn't Romanuk bad.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

ah, it's hilarious... when Greg Millen called HNIC Canucks games during the west coast express era, like 2000-2004, I hated him. I cursed him every game as a hater, incompetent, biased against my team, etc. I honestly thought back then that if I saw him outside the arena I'd throw something at him. Now I listen to him call Leaf games and I actually think he's pretty good. I don't think he's really changed his style at all, I've just become old and soft. It will happen to all you angry kids as well.

nah. he's the last one.

I mean hughson/Simpson aren't great, but Millen is the only awful one left.

Just mute your tv & put on your radio for Bowen & Ralphy.

 

[CelticDruid]

It's a hockey game and there are only so many cliches that you can use. He just uses them endlessly. " Remeber that save by Andersen, blah, blah,blah"

 

[Warden of the North]

He hasnt yet yelled

"EYES BLAZING LIKE A PANTHER"

So no
