Did anyone monitor if Seguin and Lalime voted in this poll?

Who outbid them on all these rights for English language sports radio in Montreal? Pretty sure they used to broadcast other games including blue jays.

690 has aired the Cup finals the last few years. (at least).

TSN1200 (Ottawa) has the Bruins game on their schedule for tonight, don't know about the rest of the radio network.

They voted whatever amount of times 7% is, maybe minus 2 votes for their mom, maybe.

 

[Big Empty]

So glad the Habs picked up Marc Dumont to write for the team website. He’s amazing.

This is my first thread, but i had to ask. Does anyone else find TVA play by play and their whole crew in general to be god-awful? As an amateur viewer, even I see the play better, identify players easier and see what is happening more clearly. Case in point: tonight's spear by Domi. If was obviously him, yet they kept saying it's KK. Until video review showed clearly how wrong they are. And it's happening once every 3-4 minutes. Not to mention them repeating the same word two or three times in the same sentence. Hurts my ears.

Amateurs compared to rds. But money goes a long way

They aren't great but at least they know how to pronounce Ouellette unlike CBC.

 

[DavePeak]

At least they don't slur like 98.5FM

But yeah they're not very good, but I'm not really listening to them anyway, my eyes are good enough.

The grass is always greener on the other side though... I like Pierre Houde, I really do, but after years of watching him doing the play-by-play of NHL and Formula 1, he loves to talk about everything else but what's happening on the ice/track.

RDS is still miles better (or kilometers, I'm a scientist) than TVAS

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

They arent in the bubble unlike Sportsnet.
They are doing the play-by-play by watching the video feed. Its way harder to identify what is happening in their circumstance.

 

[The Real Timo]

They aren't great but at least they know how to pronounce Ouellette unlike CBC.

I'd rather no one had an opportunity to pronounce that word.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

I'd rather no one had an opportunity to pronounce that word.

I agree. It was pronounced an awful lot of times yesterday.

 

[Goldenhands]

Cant stand the TVAsport pannel... Bergeron as an analyst lol, a fraud. Renaud Lavoie, the worst "insider" in the league. Patrick Lalime, so annoying as a commentator, moi si chu Pittsburg, moi si chu le Canadien... Morisette and his brown tongue ect, thats really really bad...

Le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois

God it's annoying

 

[Sam of Montreal]

They just took whoever was willing to defect from RDS. So basically got a B or C crew.

Renaud Lavoie is by far the worst. He just looks really stupid, his English is terrible (for interviews) and he fumbles with words in French all the time. Last but not least, he always talks like his subject is REALLY important when he is talking about the simplest uninteresting subject (but that is a global trend for TVA sport).

To be fair though, they are a young network and have not had the chance to develop their own crew yet. It could get better over time.

I remember an old sportscaster talking about preparing for Canada - Red Army games. I think it was Ron Reusch. He would sit down with someone from the other team who would read the roster out. Reusch would record it so he study the proper pronunciation of the names.

Let’s be honest, there likely weren’t 100 people in the county who would know or care, but he was a pro. There is also a certain element of civility and respect in pronouncing someone’s name correctly.

In 2020, the lead broadcaster of Rogers can’t be bothered to put in one bit of effort to pronounce a French name properly. One of our official languages ffs, nothing foreign about it. It’s just pure ignorance. And nobody on the production side cares to correct him.

It’s indicative of a complete lack of effort and lack of pride by the whole broadcast. It’s shoddy.

Honestly shocked as many as 7% of people said TVA. That's unbelievable.

 

[hobgoblinvasya]

Thank you for that poll. It sums it up perfectly.

Le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois, le Quebecois

God it's annoying

The Province of Quebec is a French Province . Le Quebecois.
If you don't like it that's unfortunate because that's how it will always be,
