Here’s a whole game highlight (you also get to watch us get blasted by Pittsburgh) with his calls. One game but he seems fine to me. I remember him doing some world juniors games as well.
I agree with you. But, judging from his twitter feed today he has some sort of attachment/fanhood to the team. Maybe if he’s more invested personally the goal calls will improve?I liked him during the run of play, but not on the goal calls (his "scooorrres" is wavering and inconsistent).

Well played, Mearsy.
Do we know where he’s originally from? He went to BGSU and went to a CBJ game while a student there during the inaugural season, but he could be from anywhere.I agree with you.

Were the Jackets your childhood team?The funny
Do we know where he’s originally from? He went to BGSU and went to a CBJ game while a student there during the inaugural season, but he could be from anywhere.
Even if he’s from Cbus area/Ohio, the CBJ obviously wouldn’t be his boyhood favorite team, so just wondering how “strong” the attachment actually is. Not that it really matters much or that he won’t be a “fan” now (at an appropriate level, of course).
I’m 32, so yes. Went to the inaugural game when I was 8, parents had/still have season tickets. Haven’t lived in Ohio permanently since I was 18 but still rock the CBJ.Were the Jackets your childhood team?
I wish CBJ would do this but... It'll never happen.So maybe the hiring today means we are stuck with Bally since it was referenced in the release but the Panthers have dumped them.
Damn. We could very well have crossed paths, then; I was attending BGSU around the same time.
He's from Murrysville, Pennsylvania. It is part of metro Pittsburgh.Do we know where he’s originally from? He went to BGSU and went to a CBJ game while a student there during the inaugural season, but he could be from anywhere.
Even if he’s from Cbus area/Ohio, the CBJ obviously wouldn’t be his boyhood favorite team and then he’s presumably moved around a lot of places/covered a fair number of teams (including in the CHL as his resume notes) during his broadcasting career, so just wondering how “strong” the attachment actually is.

Probably started out a Penguins fan. We know those folks only come to no good.He's from Murrysville, Pennsylvania. It is part of metro Pittsburgh.

Ok, thanks. So presumably a Pens fan growing up, and my guess is he wouldn’t have applied for the CBJ job if he was still their TV guy rather than demoted to radio. As a refresher, the only reason this came up was because originally @CBJWerenski8 was wondering if maybe natural CBJ enthusiasm/allegiance might get more excitement out of his goal calls with us, since that seemed to be a Pens fan complaint, so I was wondering if he actually had a CBJ allegiance.Probably started out a Penguins fan. We know those folks only come to no good.
EDIT:
And also could never become a CBJ fan.
I like this hire!Can't wait for another new CBJ thing to get crushed by this crowd. Just a matter of time...
Yeah, I still luv ya though!

I mean I'm 47 so it is impossible for me to be a boyhood CBJ fan and that is why my first team was the NJ Devils when I started watching hockey in HS.Do we know where he’s originally from?
