Singh isnt a very good PbP man but he at least calls the play. I dont know what the 'F' Jack is doing.To me it’s like -70 vs -1. But I guess we all have our preferences.

Stroking Louie.Singh isnt a very good PbP man but he at least calls the play. I dont know what the 'F' Jack is doing.
Your toes last a lot longer at -25.Thats fair but this notion that Jack is good compared to Singh is like saying that -25 degrees is a lot better than -30 degrees.
Its a weak argument.
Calls the play wrong much of the time.Singh isnt a very good PbP man but he at least calls the play. I dont know what the 'F' Jack is doing.
Yeah...I am not so sure about that.Your toes last a lot longer at -25.
I took the opportunity to walk to work at -38 earlier this year. It was great until I noticed my toes freezing. Then it was constant moving them for the last 2km.Yeah...I am not so sure about that.
Having been an outside worker in my early 20's...my toes didnt like anything less than -10...lol
Michaels talks too much, period. And he needs to stop talking about Debrusk.I'd like Jack to tone it down a bit. But not too much. His energy and enthusiasm are incredible attributes to him. Agreed though that his banter is annoying at times. If he limits that as well I think more people would like his call.
He has amazing calls on some of our jaw dropping (McDrai) goals. When taken alone, I wouldn't doubt it that they become as legendary as Cole, Cuthbert, etc.

Debrusk talks non-stop. When does he breathe? Buzzing the f***ing tower.
Together they are unlistenable. They need to shut up once in awhile.
Cut their mics 10 times a period.
Good on you for actually walking to work at -38.I took the opportunity to walk to work at -38 earlier this year. It was great until I noticed my toes freezing. Then it was constant moving them for the last 2km.
It would basically be a radio talk show (not necessarily just sports realted) with the sounds of a hockey game in the background.imagine him and Louie doing a radio PBP. Wasn’t he doing PBP on the radio with Bob for a while?
When I can’t take them anymore I turn off the sound.Michaels talks too much, period. And he needs to stop talking about Debrusk.

You have to take your opportunity where you find it.Good on you for actually walking to work at -38.
Only a real Edmontonian would do that.
Im glad you posted this.I was looking for the tennis thread, couldn’t find it and found this instead.
The Roger’s tournaments are going on this week in Toronto and Montreal and for whatever reason (I assume because the regular Sportsnet people couldn’t get back from the Olympics in time) Gene Principe is hosting and Jack Michaels is doing the play by play for the women’s tournament.
At first I thought it was amusing hearing Jack call games in his tennis voice instead of his obnoxious hockey voice. Also, so far no 80’s movies references or him forgetting he’s there to call a game. Now I’m hoping he does such a good job that Toronto snatches him away from us.
It’s a real trip. I kept tuning in during the middle of matches and not seeing who was doing the games. I noticed right away it wasn’t a regular tennis commentator but I thought the voice sounded familiar. Took me a minute to realize who it was and I couldn’t stop laughing. He’s quiet, subdued and not being a carnival barker at all. I can’t wait to hear him do golf now.Im glad you posted this.
I have a morbid curiosity (lol) about what Jack would sound like doing Tennis.
The Phoenix Waste Managment tournament would be an excellent starting point for him. Especially hole #16.It’s a real trip.

I remember working in Yellowknife.I took the opportunity to walk to work at -38 earlier this year. It was great until I noticed my toes freezing. Then it was constant moving them for the last 2km.
I tend to agree with you just because the PbP caller absolutely has to prioritize calling the play.I actually prefer Singh for this reason but I know saying that is like walking a mine field in here.
Also I don't really care about the emotion level of the announcer. I'd turn off the announcer audio if I could
I can’t wait for that opportunity.I remember working in Yellowknife.
-52 with ice fog.
Good times.
Singh is great if he works in Punjabi. If you know what he’s saying it’s just lame.I tend to agree with you just because the PbP caller absolutely has to prioritize calling the play.
At least Singh does that.
With Jack its the opposite....he prioritizes storytelling and other meaningless nonsense about the opposing players history (does anyone really care what university they went to or what part of the country they are from?) and then calls the play when the spirit moves him.
I just dont understand why Jack thinks that his babbling and useless trivia is more important than calling the actual game.
