the point being you're not as anonymous as you would be on the radio side as compared to what NESN does, even though all of them have traveled together for the last 7..... not everybodt listens to the radiocast if we've got NESN ON TUNE

I *think* he’s trying to make some point about homerism, but I won’t sweat to it. I could be 180 degrees off lol

Funny ,I always thought Jack was very fair to opposing teams when they scored. It would actually piss me off lololol

Agreed. Maybe that is what Hutch is talking about?

the only question will be how will Sirott handle the opposition scoring on the B's as compared to how Jack did

Jack got excited when the opposing team scored because it was a big play in the game. I know that rubbed quite a few Bruins fans the wrong way, even though Jack's broadcast was certainly done from a Bruins perspective.

I'll say this as a broadcaster, but also someone who is a student of the profession, peelingback the curtain a bit. We all have our own styles, but over the years, I've had a bit of a "ticked off" goal call for opposing goals. A fellow broadcaster who is one of, IMO, the top voices in the NHL told me "even if it's not your team, a goal is a big part of the game and you have to punch it up." I certainly don't show excitement when the other team scores, but I try to at least let the voice rise a little bit (even if you can hear a little bit of disgust in the tone).

I've listened to Judd & Bob for a long time on the radio (and, when it comes to Judd, even longer as I'm also a Cubs fan and listened to their games when he was part of their radio crew) and Judd will be very professional with opposing goals as he is with his entire call. He'll transfer well to television, and it's especially so as Bruins fans already know him well.

Was not a huge Arnold fan but he was NOT Happy when the other team scored.
