[LickTheEnvelope]

Why call anything? Lol

 

[William H Bonney]

Johnson is one of my fav commentators but I can't stand him tonight

Yeah, his homerism is taking over. That embellishment was worse than the cross check

 

[JPeeper]

Johnson is one of my fav commentators but I can't stand him tonight

When he was calling out all of Canada's bullshit he was great, now that TSN got him in the propaganda machine he is just another shitty Canadian shill.

 

[Jordan Belfort]

Completely on the coaching staff on this one.

Yep

 

[snowkiddin]

These guys are being considered for the Olympics ?!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Mike Johnson what are you on lol? That was 100% embellishment.

He's not saying it isn't, he's saying you better consistent and we all know they won't.

 

[gritdash60]

Oh damn i love this TSN commentator fuming!

 

[Bounces R Way]

Mike that was a dive more than a cross check buddy

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Jesus Christ

 

[Chainshot]

I presume that way even the most obvious team management strategy can fly smoothly over his head.

Given how the "Brain trust" has built this team, seems much went clean over 'em so that would at least keep things consistent.

 

[King Woodballs]

How come team Canada didn’t pick anyone that can actually score goals? #askingforafriend

 

[v00d00daddy]

MJ it’s not about being consistent for the rest of the night re: embellishment!

It should be that embellishment is no longer able to be called after Sykora sold a 5 minute call.

These refs are a f***ing joke

 

[ZDH]

Sorry but the more they show the replay the more I think that was a completely clean hit. I don't even think he hits the leg in any significant way. It's primarily an upper body hit. It's not why Canada is losing but it's a bad call.

Yep. We're losing because we f***ing suck.

 

[sampollock]

Yep

And Cowan

 

[sansabri]

flashbacks of JC Lipon

 

[End on a Hinote]

Johnson is one of my fav commentators but I can't stand him tonight

NGL I cringed a little when he accused that Czech player of diving following that knee hit, then passively says "I mean, I hope he's OK!"

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

How do you not call holding the stick..

 

[Dack]

He's not saying it isn't, he's saying you better consistent and we all know they won't.

He initially was very much saying it wasn't then when he saw the replay he flipped to that position.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Price just got walked and let the czech in alone.

 

[1989]

They have 7 d men. They’d be fine if Dickinson sat.

Can play 6 d but it doesn't matter what I think. Dickinson is back out there.

I get that, but the term "team defence" also applies. Straining the energy levels of these kids won't help long-term over the course of the game coming back down from 2. Play him less, fine. Not playing him at all is silly.

 

[MTU34]

Johnson is one of my fav commentators but I can't stand him tonight

He’s really good when there’s not a lot at stake. In the big games he reverts to sounding like he posts in these threads

 

[Smif]

Pinelli, Cowan, Dickinson and Bonk stink. All OHLers

Yes, keep playing Catton and Yager, the pair of apples between them has been our saviours. Which other WHL'er has been better?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

How is what Johnston said wrong exactly? If you are going to call that...keep calling it all night.

 

[v00d00daddy]

Yeah, his homerism is taking over. That embellishment was worse than the cross check

It was definitely embellishment.

Just like sykora

 

[ZDH]

How about next WJHC we do something crazy like sending our best team.
