Is there anyone in the world who is a competent broadcaster? It doean't seem like it based on comments on this thread. Everyone is terrible
Overdrive, Scotty Mac, Shilton, Bobby Mac, Lebrun, Chris Johnson, the other Johnson
I'm not going to lie though, a lot of radio and TV is a tough slog if your looking for in depth Leafs coverage

It's a profession that's subjective by nature. Just like most sports analysis jobs.
It's a lot like the people who scream "omg Steve Dangle is such a moron how does he get so much attention and big appearances on media rah rah". They just don't get it, Dangle's entire act is a hyper-reactionary "hot-take" artist that's put on almost entirely for entertainment purposes. Why are people judging his hockey knowledge relative to the act he puts on. I guarantee he knows hockey just as well as any of the average schmos around here who love to call him stupid.

To many, the media’s purpose is to provide confirmation not information.
Somehow, thankfully, I’ve tuned those out.The media's purpose is to engage the viewers long enough to consume those awful Scotiabank commercials narrated by the lady with the condescending tone of a kindergarten teacher.
Who wants to listen to a guy who knows just as much as an average schmo? Sorry, but I’m kind of looking for insight beyond some random guy in his pajamas. And there’s a reason why respected people always apologize for “hot takes”, they’re usually steamy and irrelevant to instructive analysis.It's a profession that's subjective by nature.

The average schmo is over rated, social media low brow, he’s boring.
It is true, sometimes you’re listening to the radio and guys with actual shows display the most pedestrian of analysis about the team, just glaring omissions or total lack of understanding. It’s kind of amazing sometimes.I agree.
But I don't think there's more than 10 people on tv for hockey that watch as much hockey or know as much as me.
Your average "expert" probably follows one team, just watches their games, and makes comments. No different than anyone here.
There's only a few Button, McKenzie, Poulin types who clearly are speaking at a mensa level of hockey knowledge and expertise.

I love Steve Dangle tbh. He's very entertaining but I dont judge him on his hockey knowledge
Dangle is just a another Mirtle's spawn to spread Mirtle's pro Dubas / anti Babcock propaganda. All Dangle's so called opinions come from Mirtle.
I hate these excel sheet warriors, but even more I have these morons who spread excel sheets warriors message without any knowledge.
It's all Leafs all the time.Overdrive, Scotty Mac, Shilton, Bobby Mac, Lebrun, Chris Johnson, the other Johnson

It's what the market wants.
Leafs Beat, Leafs Street, Leafs Meet, Leafs Treat, Leafs Defeat, Leafs Retreat, Leafs Seat, Leafs Teat!
"Let's open up the phone lines and talk about all of these Europeans with all of thier silly skating, passing and play-making. What's wrong with the roster? Should we fire the coach? Should we fire Dubas? Let's just see how stupid the listenership is. I'm Moron Man, and I want to know."
It's not a sin to be a fan of all Toronto teams and to be critical of the sports media coverage.Isn't there a Raptors forum somewhere for you?
Sorry saw “shtick”, “dangle” and “porn” and had to recheck my URLI don't hate on him for making a career out of his schtick. I say good for you kid.
I will say though, it's rare you find an actress who is capable of winning an Academy Award for acting doing porn instead of starring in a major motion picture. Usually the girls in porn are there because that's their ceiling acting wise.
Bob McKenzie makes far more money than Dangle. The "scream into a computer in your mom's basement" routine will only take you so far.
