NESN UPDATE 6/27 - Sean McDonough considering replacing Jack Edwards

[PatriceBergeronFan]

NESN seeking intern level wages for the replacement.

further viewing material? maybe everyone here just needs to see me actually say "Boston Bruins" in a broadcast.



That's my full year of the 2022-2023 Boston Junior Bruins. And I paused it so you could see Charlie Coyle's old team, the South Shore Kings!

Former Junior Bruins player I had the pleasure of announcing was Collin Graf, the Quinnipiac player who tied the national championship game last season. He made his NHL debut with San Jose late in 23-24.

I would have to go through the last 13 pages but has anyone mentioned Mike Monaco? He's pretty good at doing hockey IIRC. I guess NESN is just going to let him move on to better things in a different market like Goucher

Monaco needs to replace Dave O'Brien for sure but we all know that's not going to happen

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I did not know that, learning new things!

Without looking it up, do you know what the CH on the Montreal jersey is?

 

[GordonHowe]

Is it a “narrative” if it’s true?

There are plenty of people here who have been following the bruins since before Jacobs bought the team, and they will tell you - almost to a man (or woman) - that Jacobs will take the cheaper option 999 times out of a thousand. I’m not as old as the boomer crowd here, but I’ve been watching the bruins long enough to agree with them.

It’s inexcusable that Dave Goucher isn’t coming back, and it’s pretty obvious to most of us as to why.

In fairness - and I am not inclined to be fair minded regarding the old man's motives - to my knowledge neither Dave or anyone else has indicated money is the reason he won't return to Boston.

If so, please post.

I've understood that to be a subject of debate. I'm sure I'd read something about it before. I thought it was "C" for Canadiens and "H" for Habitants. or Hockey.

It means "Club de Hockey Canadien", or in English, "Canadien Hockey Club". Lots of people think Habitants but its Hockey.

what is the right way to say the team name? does it depend on whether you're speaking in English or French? is it like the nationality "Canadian" or is it cuh-nay-dee-enz?

The French version "Club de Hockey Canadien", no z.

 

[GordonHowe]

For what it's worth, I'm not saying the Bruins deserve blame here.

I think the Bruins have input as to who the new play-by-play guy will be, but I still think it's a NESN decision. NESN will sign the new guy's paycheck. His salary will come out of NESN's bank account.

And let's face it... when you watch telecasts from around the league, NESN is often weak in several key areas. There are huge differences between a NESN telecast and an MSG Network telecast, for example.

I'm actually curious, what are they?

It means literally the inhabitants.

fascinating. I love other languages. for English, is it "dee-ENZ" at the end or is it "DEE-inz"

or is it deez nuts #heyo

I was told it's singular with Canadien.

Great job reading the thread before replying.

I don't care. I would take a wet dish rag over Jack Edwards at this point.

I still don’t think you are reading this thread before you reply. A wet dish rag was ruled out already.

The dish rag’s salary demands were too high.

 

[jgatie]

yup, I totally get it.

the thing that has grabbed my attention most is the Richard Riot. I think that was a big black eye for that fan base.

The Richard Riot? Trust me, you don't have to go back to the fifties to find a black eye on that fanbase. Hell, those toilet seat wearing morons burned police cars and smashed things in the street for winning a single round of the playoffs (And it was only Round 1! Against the bottom seed!).

Good Lord, I completely forgot about that. rioting is such a scum thing, especially over a sporting event.

One of my favorite conversations on this site was over this incident. A Habs fan (whom I actually respect) was trying to justify it with the excuse that "Boston has four teams, the Habs are all we have, so we take them very seriously". I told him "Stop. Nothing justifies burning cars, especially not a first round win. My team just won a first round series, and do you know what I did? I made a f***ing sandwich."

To me, the 'H' is just the turd in the middle of the toilet seat.

How about when Metallica frontman James Hetfield was severely burned in a pyrotechnics accident in 1992, and then G ‘N’ R douchebag Axl Rose decided he wasn’t going to perform at all that night to save the show in the aftermath? The concert was postponed and Montreal burned.

They burned the city because Hetfield was burned? I guess irony is not their strong suit.

It sounds to me like they have an excellent grasp of irony.

Put in Montreal canadiens translation french. When you pronounce Canadiens in French it is pronounced Canadien without the s. So, les habitant Canadien

Habs = inhabitants (first French settlers in Quebec).

I like pronouncing the 'H' as 'Sc', as in Scabies, or Scum.

Everything I have heard leads me to believe that Alex Faust will be getting the job.
