TSN: Ray Ferraro No Longer Colour Commentating on TSN

[Mess]

He was between the benches for ESPN last night and did a pretty good job, Ray has come a long way from where he started. His early days he was a bit of a mush mouth and often made some curious vocabulary choices and pronunciations, but he has simplified his delivery and uses his knowledge effectively.

I watched him last night on ESPN doing the TB/NYR colour also.

So it appears he is just cutting down on his TSN work for family reasons, but still working the same job with other affiliates.

BTW anyone watch the Rags last night? MikaZ was on fire and the team looks elite, they are certainly a team to be wary of. They have everything in their toolbox, including a major amount of snarl. They could very well win the east this year.

Yeah I read that and really you can't blame him.

I think MJ is an excellent colour commentator, so I'm happy with the outcome.

His replacement....everyone's favourite, Pierre McGuire

To remind everyone where every player played Timbits hockey.

Pretty big blow to the quality of TSN broadcasts, probably the biggest since Bobby Mac left

Bob Mckenzie has a toxic arrogance about him, im not sure how people can give him a pass on this.

Ray Ferraro is smart at breaking the game down, never really talks about non sense.

Agreed he is good, although at times he seems a bit passive when pressed on things, but its good to not get emotional.

I beat Ray in a fight yesterday in NHL Rock The Rink. It's all my fault . One of the best, sad to see him go.

I still laugh at the time Kadri gave him the much deserved slap in the mouth

He'll be doing lots of ESPN hockey, so if you feel the need.....

I've always liked McKenzie as an analyst, his podcast was a bit of a stinker though and I think where your particular criticism really shone through for me.

 

[Its not your fault]

Can't stand MJ what an annoyance .. talks like a winger .. best for C's or D's in that job .. they have a much better understanding of what really goes on in a pro hockey game

Hilarious laughed pretty hard. There's a few like Jagr, Hull before the beers caught up to him. Ovi Andreychuk. Grinders not so much enforcers however you are right 99 percent of the time.
