I see nothing wrong with the play by play, sure he didn't go postal ala Bowen when the Leaf eliminated the Wings years ago. Does Leaf Nation really need to be coddled by game announcers to feel validated that they're good, is Leaf Nation that insecure?
no not at all, certainly not looking for idiots like a Jack Edwards or Rick Jeanneret
The problem is Hughson's lack of professionalism and his seeming disdain for the Leafs
If a team makes a nice play, then say so and have the color guy illuminate it, not gee whizz if the green team guy doesn't fall down and screen the goaltender then the blue team would've never scored
this was an actual call......the situation Winnick is digging hard at the half wall (to Eddie Lacks left) with a Canucks Dman and wins the puck, he's a little off balance and near the end of the shift out of gas and lifts a lazy wrist shot at the Nux net, planting the puck right on the crest, (Winnick if you remember is no goal scoring dynamo) and this is the call: "Sbisa loses the puck Winnick shoots,
'great save!' Eddie Lack!"
Sbisa never lost the puck he lost the battle, Winnick was obviously shooting for a freeze, play stoppage and a line change, Lack doesn't have to move but only needs to absorb the puck, I could've made that save wearing regular gear and I'm 66.
