Draft Lottery tonight! Compelling TV!

I'd rather a senile Bob Cole, a weirdly dressed Strombo and... wait for it... Glenn Healy!

Id take any of those options over the staus quo.

(frank), UG can call games for all i care.

Watching Tampa versus Boston.

Total phantom penalty call on Tampa. Fix is in for Boston?

lilegren stud dman , I just watched cole cassels stripping him of the puck like taking candy from a baby

The Marlies absolutely killed Utica yesterday, despite the score. But yeah, Liljegren didn't have a strong game.

Probably one of his worst games since the beginning of the season.

This is my biggest complaint with CBC/Sportsnet. I have no idea why they chose him of all possible candidates to call games. Truth is, we cant do anything about it. We complain non-stop about Hughson and they wont even acknowledge us. We start petitions to have him removed, but they go nowhere. Theres probably been fire Hughson chants at the ACC, but they just turn the crowd noise down on the TV. I've been a longtime supporter of the CBC. Radio, TV, news whatever... But im at the point where ill support any move to punish them for ruining so many saturday nights. Ill even vote Cons if they promise to defund the CBC as a part of their campaign. I'm dead serious. We deserve better than Hughson.

Maybe they stick with the status quo because it’s the internet and it seems like we hate everything and everybody. Strombo was hated because he wore skinny jeans. People complain about MacKenzie, Dreger, Friedman, Kipper, MacLean, Grapes, Burkie, and every blogger, reporter, etc.
Why on earth would any network take anything we say seriously?

He just looked ridiculous. It's not the reason people hated him. People didn't like him because he knows very little about hockey and more importantly, he isn't and never would have been Ron MacLean.

Ha. Suck it, ratface.

When Ron MacLean started people said there was no way he could ever fill Dave Hodge’s shoes.

So many bad scenarios.

I've settled on being happy if the yotes win and the sens drop.

Referees are ruining Boston and Tampa game.

Weak Call

Rask unhinged.

This just got interesting.

They whistle should have been blown, absolutely.

But I love how Rask just sat there saying he couldn't move but after the puck went in he could move easily.

false equivalency, but i get your point.

I didn't hate Strombo, i enjoyed his work. People hated him because hockey still has a lot of oldschool people who hate change, and Strombo represented a new era.

He spent way too long trying to get the Refs attention. I get it, but he should have at least tried to center himself.

Announcers make the fair point, CAN the refs even blow that down?

Yeah I didn’t mind that call. I thought the penalty call was bad.

I don’t like Hughson either, including when he was with tsn. Why can’t the networks do a talent search for a play by play guy. Instead of just shuffling current employees to that job.

I can see it now: "Canada's top hockey announcer". Hell, everyone seems to love reality tv these days, why the (frank) not?

Apparently they all agree that it isn't something they stop the play for.

Keith jones made a good point just now- whistle blows if a goalie loses a mask.

Need to play through other equipment issues.

I mean, you don't blow it down when a goalie loses his stick.

Rask shoulda been given a penalty for playing with a broken stick no?
