Pre-Game Talk: WCQF: Los Angeles Kings @ Edmonton Oilers

[29Beast97Mode]

The biggest problem I have with Singh is he's way behind the call every play. It's annoying.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Love me some Jack.

I must say that he's grown on me over the years.

 

[Dorian2]

I like Michaels but he tends to "over extend" at times.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

I can't believe I won't get to hear Jack call out GESTICULATING, PULSATING, and my fave.. can openers.

From the last bunch of posts, it sounds like we're getting Singh and Louie. I'm on team Jack. He's not perfect, but he's way better than Singh. It's not even close. I may need to watch the LA feed for this series. Singh just irritates me.

Also need to vent: Just saw even our home games are going to start late so the double header. FU NHL. Tons of family stuff to do this week so I'm not even going to be able to finish any of these games live. </rant>

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Glad game 1 is tomorrow!

Can we at least get a petition to have singh adopt the "down the stretch" line.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Uggh if we play the flames 2nd round and have Singh commentating it will be almost unwatchable. That guy loses his mind every time Calgary passes centre ice.

 

[Magnum23]

Nothing against Singh but every time I hear his voice it gives me nightmares of the 4-0 sweep vs the Jets.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

We'll just have to win our way into getting Cuthbert to call our games

EZ PZ

Biggest thing by far is his transition to television, His style is perfectly suited to that medium. You can watch the game and he can get into his anecdotes and jokes and very little is affected. Incredibly frustrating on radio where you really are dependent on the voice to paint the game picture for you. Rod Phillips was a master at that.

Singh on the other hand, is just next level vanilla. Seems to over articulate the language.

Jeff Goldblum plus David Cronenberg is like an overdose of WTF.

I’ll have to remember to space apart my posts in order to maximize the amount of likes I can get

As someone who has made about a dozen posts since "likes" were introduced to this board, I can confirm that strategy is not a recipe for success.

If Harnarayan Singh starts singing the Kings names when they score im going to have a meltdown

I couldn't astand Jack when he initially replaced Rod. Never really cared for him on the radio, but once he did PBP on TV, the switch flipped for me, and I instantly enjoyed his work. I consider myself an introvert and a thinker, so there goes that theory. But seriously, too each his own. I find that Jack and Louie have great chemistry together, and I don't mind Jaclk's little stories. Seems like a decent guy as well. When Singh does the PBP, it actually ruins the game for me. It's sad that as excited as I am for these playoffs, the fact that he is doing the PBP is going to diminish my excitement a notch. Nothing personal, he's just bad at his job.

Yes, yes and yes some more…

Agreed. He was very frustrating as a radio guy but on TV his energy is only a plus. I'm surprised how much I enjoy him after years listening and being frustrated like you.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Just turn on the Radio for the 3rd period to hear Jack say “down the stretch we go!” or “ladies and gentlemen, the pleasure was allllll mine!”

Looks like Rogers will screw us over with Singh, just another insult from them to this fan base amongst many others. I hope every Oiler fan remembers this when they are shopping for telecom services, hopefully we’ll even have the ability to make choice by then and Rogers won’t buy out Shaw AND Telus.

Does this mean Nurse is out with Broberg recalled?

Would he be practicing if he was out? In a regular jersey?

 

[TheNumber4]

Come back Nurse and have a monster post season.
