My reaction to seeing Healy and Stock back:

Romanuk and Randorf for Toronto? Ouch. Leafs games are going to start sounding a lot like the Spengler Cup.

 

[Peasy]

Interesting seeing Mike Johnson and Darren Pang there.

 

[iBlaze81]

Joe Bowen is where now ?

Paul Romanuk is solid. Have no problems with him. Dave Randorf, on the other hand... I cringe every time I hear his voice

Joe Bowen is where now ?

Radio only.

Thank goodness they don't ignore the millions leaf fans who can't stand heels.

 

[BHD]

PJ Stock inexplicably still has a spot.

 

[Swervin81]

Damien Cox is also a giant turd. Guy is like Emilio Bonifacio: Covers lots of positions, but none of them well at all.

Do you know why they bring back Healey and Hrudy?

Because they are going to get reaction out of them and cause people to talk about the product. ALL good news for Rogers.

To be honest, I'm going to listen to their analysis and may pick up some things, but I'm watching the game because of the Maple Leafs and not some announcer. You can always mute the TV too.

 

[Jozay]

No Joe Bowen?

They ****ed up pretty bad on these people.

 

[nidnus13]

No Bowen is going to be ****......he the only good announcer on ****ing t.v, ****ing idiots!!!!

 

[MakeTheIronSing]

I stopped reading after Healy.

 

[nidnus13]

Somebody whos pissed off and good at starting stuff, start a "we want Bowen" petition.

 

[Territory]

Gonna really miss Bowen.

 

[Eyedea]

 

[Darcy Tucker]

no Bowen is just fail.

 

[Scoogs]

No Bowen means a very unhappy Scoogs

 

[Kyle Doobas*]

 

[WillNyeTheHockeyGuy]

If Bowen was left out for a reason other than him rejecting the offer, then Rogers can go **** off.

 

[Ehsian]

No Ray Ferraro =(

 

[Territory]

No Ray Ferraro =(

He's on TSN.

 

[Drew311]

PJ Stock inexplicably still has a spot.

Sweet mother of god he is awful. He comes off like a 10 year old that just ate a plie of candy before each broadcast.

I don't think consistently poor quality of programming is something they should be proud of.

There's annoying, then there's just bad analysis.

Agreed. I really enjoyed him.

Joe Bowen is radio only (all 82 and hopefully ++++) for both Rogers/TSN (which means Jon Abbot is out of a job, which i know blasted_Sabre is happy about).

What irks me is... WHY can't we have Bob Cole back? They hired him. they're going to use him. Most leafs fans on twitter want him back. so we're stuck with who? for regional and Hughson for National, where Montreal gets Cole AGAIN (i'm imagining).

Pang & Johnson coming over doesn't surprise me. If TSN is only doing Ottawa/Winnipeg + 24 Leafs games there's not a lot of work for them vs. doing more for Sportsnet. What is surprising me is that more TSN talent DIDN'T go over. but loyalty i suppose.

All i know is, my out of town option is going to get a massive workout if i don't like what Rogers is providing.
