Well that sucks, he's good at his job. Maybe this is AJ's chance. By god if its Dean Brown ill lose my shit. When is Andlauer going to make changes to him and Gord its time to go. Especially Gord, nice guy but if someone is doing colour they should actually understand the sport on a deeper level than that. We have great options of former players who are very smart from a hockey broadcast side. Marc Methot, Jamie Baker, Brendan Bell etc would all be way better options.
Jack Michaels (who is absolutely incredible) was on Spitting Chicklets and they asked him how did he stay engaged when the Oilers were so bad. His answer was a great one. (this is not verbatim) 'I focused on the other good players on the other teams, so not to come down on the current group of Oilers but illustrate to the listeners as to why Edmonton was losing and what was so incredible about the oppositions. It helped me understand the league and the other players much better by focusing on the opposition and what they do or dont do well.' Imagine Gord and Dean took that approach, they dont even know the players on the other teams. They only talk about former sens or like former leafs on the other teams. Or just random crap when the game is going on. Its no professional and adds nothing to the broadcast.
