OT: Rogers Unveils Full Broadcasting Lineup

[OttawaSenators11]

Big names off the top of my head not on the list are Dean Brown, Joe Bowen, Kevin Weeks, Andi Petrillo

What you guys think? IMO, A lot of very underwhelming personalities.

And don't get me started on the ' Insiders' These guys will always be a step or two behind TSN.

I just got even happier that TSN picked us up.

 

[SilverSeven]

Wow...guess Brown is unemployed

It's amazing what $5.4B gets you, right?

Leafs fans are furious at the guys SN assigned to do their regional games!

I don't blame them! :haha

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Wow...guess Brown is unemployed

I am not a massive fan of his ( i do like him) , but Dean is better than
guys like Randorf and Romanuk, IMO

I mean, those guys make my ears bleed.

I hope we never get them.

Surprised that Kevin Weekes didn't make the cut. Having been on so many teams and recently retired (compared to others)his insight has always been pretty good.

Yeah, i really liked him!

Just more proof Rogers doesn't have a clue on what they're doing with the hockey thing ( as usual)

Eh, he was alright. Very vanilla. He always just sort of went with the popular opinion on things.

 

[Nets Cash]

I agree... Very vanilla.

 

[SilverSeven]

I thought he was more chocolate

 

[OttawaSenators11]

I thought he was more chocolate

I was waiting for that

 

[pepty]

That is a truly ghastly line up.

I hope they let Galley do some of the Sens games as he is about the only one with any idea at all of who the Ottawa players are.

And I agree, Dean is far better than most of the announcers they have in there.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

lol even CBC doesn't want Dean Brown. How long until we hear about him crawling back to Ottawa to do some radio work?

 

[Caeldan]

Hopefully Deano ends up on radio at least still.

I can't believe that Healy is still employed though.
Notable names missing are Weekes as mentioned, and Andi Petrillo but she is doing other work for CBC still I think?

 

[Six Assets]

Hopefully Dean Brown gets a job. Tough Business.

Mike Johnson is the only one from TSN, i think.

Darren Pang and Dave Randorf are the other two.

 

[otown]

Deano will surface again. He has been relegated to the bull pen.
He is a skilled play by play guy as long as he keeps the off topic banter to a minimum.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Just to add - How long before Bob McKenzie jumps ship? Bell better be prepared to offer this guy BIG BUCKS when his contract is up because something tells me Rogers has that date circled.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Yeeesh. Dave Randorf has gotta be my least favourite play by play guy of all time in any sport. Remove Darren Pang and Friedman and that insiders group is a who's who list of the worst and most unprofessional gas bags in the business. Definitely going to skip any and all segments between periods.

I get the feeling Bobby Mac is happy where he is. He likely doesnt care about the national contract. I mean, TSN will still be a go to for hockey fans. Its no secret that 9/10 prefer their broadcasts. Bell will pay to keep him.

All just a hunch though...what do I know.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Deano will surface again. He has been relegated to the bull pen.

Which he seems incapable of doing, even on CBC he falls into those old patterns. He loves the sound of his own voice that guy

Can you imagine a pXp guy that hates his voice?

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Also, wow that's a lot of white dudes. Kinda interesting that they scrapped Weekes, Campbell and Pietrillo given how homogeneous that roster is.

 

[BonkTastic]

Dave Randorf has gotta be my least favourite play by play guy of all time in any sport.

Hearing Paul Romanuk's voice makes me want to jump off of a very high bridge into a very deep hole.

 

[Kickabrat]

McKenzie not going anywhere. He was given a new long term deal about 2 minutes after the Rogers announcement. Same with Duthie and Dreger.
