Maybe they'll bring back Loubardias....Little birdie told me Quinn is not returning, and Jack Michaels will be doing both radio AND tv
Thats my worst nightmare
Well Quinn does live in Calgary...and with covid and all, it's not implausibleI’ve heard word that the flames and Oilers pbp people are just switching teams*
*that word was out of my mouth
That's kind of the point though, no?I agree he is a nice person but the train left town with his jokes years ago.
Everyone should be afraid of that. Simulcasts are horrible. I'm surprised the NHL even allows them.Little birdie told me Quinn is not returning, and Jack Michaels will be doing both radio AND tv

While not perfect, this is my dream.I really like listening to Jack and Bob, Jack brings a lot of excitement to his calls and Bob is really knowledgeable about the game would love to see them do a three man crew with Louie between the benches.
Gene was often the best part of the Oilers broadcast. Now part of that was because the team was horrendous but still.That's kind of the point though, no?
I much prefer Gene to Sportsnet trying to come up with some new hip angle that would inevitably be horribly out of touch
Why would they do that? Each west city already has a guy who actually lives there. I think Quinn once said he moves to Edmonton semi-permanently each season. Cuthbert doesn't live in any of those places afaik.
I don’t think broadcasters are allowed to travel with the team so maybe each broadcast will just be the home teams broadcasters?
He's pretty good when he's actually calling the play.
Hopefully optimistic, but Quinn has also been calling Oilers games for longer than I've been watching hockey, so I literally grew up listening to him and will be sad to see him go if he is indeed replaced. Also, keep Gene.
Someone not liking Gene is the equivalent to someone not liking dogs.
Kevin Quinn out?
Maybe we get Cuthbert
I’m with you 100% on this. Quinn is far from perfect, but I really feel it’s the case of the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t when it comes to play by play guy. I’ve had Centre Ice a couple of times now and hearing some of the local guys from around the league really gave me an appreciation for Quinn.

I'd be down with it.
I'm assuming this joke has been made..
So many inappropriate Sean Avery related jokes came to me... must resist urge to post them...Unfortunately it's a package deal, and Dion would get a top 4 spot on our blueline.

I want an announcer who doesn't want to be the show but simply descibes whats going on and Quinn does that. I like the game of hockey, I don't need it dressed up.
Why wouldn't they be allowed?
I do see it play out that way though to save costs for the year.
