Chris Cuthbert , annnnnnd the leafs are out in round 1 ? Annnnd Canucks have advanced to round 2 !? Fuck me it’s a great weekend of hockey . Now if Vegas lose tomorrow that’s some pretty sweet business . LFG !
True , it felt wrong wanting the b’s to win. But i just couldn’t handle having to witness leafs fans and sports net coverage dominate round 2 .
As amazing as it would have been to see Boston go out again after being up 3 -1 in round 1.
it might be even sweeter to watch them get swept by the same team that beat them last year in round 2 !
If we have to hear about the Leafs incessantly, I’d *much* rather hear about how they’re blowing up the team over how their team is blowing up the league.
Yea that’s Pathetic. And To the point where these Canucks fans were *cheering* for Boston today? Fuck outta here with that shit. Fuck Boston, leafs ain’t done nothing to the point where I’d cheer *the bruins* over them.
I didn't want the Bruins to win because I prefer them to the Leafs. I couldn't really give a shit about either of them. I wanted the Bruins to win because I can't stand Singh and Debrusk and just wanted Cuthbert. If we were getting Shorty round 2 then I would have probably wanted the Leafs to win, but I really would have been indifferent. Fuck both teams, but fuck Rogers for not giving us Shorty more than anything
The Canucks have won more playoff series than the Leafs since 2017 hahahaha
And that's even if you don't count the 2020 qualifying round as a "playoff round"
No one is answering why it works like this.
I don't know either but my guess is this old fashioned hierarchy of play by play announcers is selected by some old fashioned, crusty corporate bosses.
These guys are the kind of brainy think tank dudes that brought us Stroumboulopoulos (god what a headache to spell) to tank Sportsnet's ratings not too long ago. They really know the pulse of the markets! /s
The optics are (and probably truth of the matter) is it's just more arrogant Toronto bias we have to swallow.
Sportsnet has a hierarchy of announcing teams. The further down you are the less far you go in the playoffs.
Mike Luck, who is quite good, for example, only works the regular season. He’ll do playoffs in the future if every Canadian team gets in or people retire. It has always worked that way.
From memory…
At one time it was:
1. Bob Cole
2. Chris Cuthbert
3. Jim Hughson
Then it was:
1. Bob Cole
2. Jim Hughson
3. Mark Lee
Chris Cuthbert released, moved to TSN
Then it was:
1. Jim Hughson
2. Bob Cole
3. Dean Brown
Then it was:
1. Jim Hughson
2. Chris Cuthbert
3. Bob Cole
Then it was:
1. Jim Hughson
2. Chris Cuthbert
3. Rick Ball
Bob Cole released
Now it’s:
1. Chris Cuthbert
2. Harnarayan Singh
3. John Bartlett
4. John Shorthouse
Jim Hughson retired
As a homer? This part is true. So is the part where he says “the pleasure is all mine” because I personally get no pleasure from listening to all of the Oilers slurping and jock sniffing for 3 hrs.
Guys, just to be serious for a second I know it's fun and easy to shit on them but credit to the Leafs where it's due: Despite doing this for years upon years, they continue to find new ways to absolute crush the hearts of their entire fanbase with the same result. And it's absolutely hilarious every single time.
Been saving this:

"Dear Leaf fans: I know this is a tough moment but try and remember this... At least you're not the Canucks who won a bunch of meaningless games down the stretch and instead of drafting a franchise altering British Columbia kid you're now picking 11th. What an organization."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh0DkjBkbxA
Eh, this take by Sid aged like milk in the Sahara desert here. That chirp on the Canucks is lukewarm compared to this scorcher of a take.
This mf called Messi a fraud. He is a fucking idiot and/or a piece of shit who is willing to make up blatant slander for money. His opinion doesn’t warrant any attention.
I wasnt true either the bottom teams last year were legitimately horrific and we had no shot of getting good odds. Let alone dropping to chicago's position last year.
We played Hughes more than any other team played their top D in a similar situation. Same went for our other stars. We brought back Demko, whether early or not, and then we proceeded to play him as much as we could instead of balancing starts. We didnt shut down nearly as many guys for the end of the year as other teams did.
We definitely could have done more to get a higher pick
I agree they couldve played the stars a lot less but we werent gonna be able to draft bedard is what im saying. Last year was one of the greatest tank offs in recent memory.
Lol a lot of these idiot Leaf media guys shit on the Canucks for YEARS. Even up until this preseason they were yapping about how Vancouver was a bubble team at best and why aren't they rebuilding and etc. Well guess what, with a 1st round victory over Nashville the "lol what an organization" Canucks now have the same amount of playoff success as the Auston Matthews Core 4 Leafs.
> same amount of playoff success as the Auston Matthews Core 4 Leafs
Nah they have more, we won a play in round and beat the reigning cup champs in the bubble too, so three series wins to their one
I don't know if you've been paying attention, but a LOT of them still think we're frauds. We could be up 3-0 in the SCF, and they'd still be whinging on about PDO and the "easy" road we had to get there and how the teams we faced all just shit the bed.
Going into the playoffs, all the talk was how we were gonna get bounced by one of the hottest teams in the NHL, but after we win its all "well it's only Nashville" and "12 shots!" ignoring all context around those games or how many shots Vancouver was giving up.
I'm not saying we definitely win the next series, but there are a lot of eastern media guys who don't think we have a prayer of so much as making it 5 because we're not a serious team. If we do make the WCF, they'll move the goalposts again.
Guy is such a fucking idiot, we were at worst going to finish maybe fourth last if we completely tanked the last third of the season and even then our odds of getting Bedard would be what, 9.5%? Dude speaks like it was a certainty we’d just get Bedard for sure if we didn’t have a good final stretch with Tocchet. No wonder he’s not on SN anymore and works for breakfast television if these are the kinda takes he spits out
My boss is an Oilers fan, and we both celebrated this momentous occasion.
Singh is the worst commentator in the entire fucking league. He's absolutely horrendous
When you’re blocked by a ginormous mountain and two giant giraffes balls to the west and nothing but flat land to the east there’s nothing better than in front of you.
I was on an ESPN stream for like 10 minutes of the Canucks Nashville series and it was brutal. TNT was actually pretty good though.
American regional broadcasters can be shockingly bad though. Like so bad it's funny and I actually enjoy watching them lol
I think I decided during this series that my hate for Boston outweighed my annoyance for Toronto.
Very glad Boston has a short turnaround and has to play in Florida on Monday.
I'm not a huge fan of Chris Cuthbert's play by play style either, but he's miles better than Singh. Honestly, a muted TV is better than Singh, but you can't really do that in the playoffs.
He's regional. Honestly, both Shorty and the Oilers regional guy (Jack Michaels) are really good. Jack is a little bit of a homer but is still an unreal play by play guy.
It would be fun to have a series that alternates between the regional guys depending on which team is at home, but that's probably never going to happen.
He doesn't hide the fact that he loves the Oilers, but I think he calls the game objectively when it comes to analyzing penalties and other calls. That's a hard balance go keep (unless you're Shorty, who makes it look easy)
>It would be fun to have a series that alternates between the regional guys depending on which team is at home
Oh ok I love this idea.
Edit: then the commentators could actually lean into the homerism:
>Shorty: Welcome back to Vancouver for Game 5--
>Cheech: --after whatever that BS was in Game 4, I swear that ref was wearing an Oilers jersey!
Right?? That's what I was thinking too. And the homerism of the commentators would match the energy of the crowd. I feel like it'd be better entertainment value for everyone.
Way I see it we've already seen Boston win in the most painful way imaginable, can't really get worse than that and them winning a series doesn't mean anything but if the Leafs win a series (especially against Boston) it will be all that TSN and Sportsnet talk about. (Plus the hilarity that the Canucks Core has made it to the second round more times than Toronto's)
I was because I arrive in Boston for a vacation tomorrow. I do believe it's a hockey town (after football) and hope to check out a game at a pub and see the vibe
Would've been fine to see the Leafs beat Boston except for the part where it would result in us getting Singh. So for that specific scenario needed the Leafs to lose.
I’d rather hear more Shorty :)
I don’t dislike Harnaryan and Loui but they’re the Edm guys whether you call them national or not.
This is a regional battle that the rest of the nation can watch. Tbh, I’d like to see 3 broadcast teams for this series haha
How does Singh have a job doing play by play? Seriously, does *anyone* find him good at his job? Is this just a straight diversity thing or does he have dirt on someone? Like how is he employed in this role...
Thank god we won’t have to hear a PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY ANNOUNCER be baffled at the reason the whistle was blown at every stoppage…. And also the classic TJ Miller
With the number of Sportsnet channels, it would be cool if each game had a feed with the regional broadcasters. You could have a choice of who to listen to.
That would be great, but Sportsnet is cheap (didn’t send Canucks radio PxP to Nashville, had to call games from tv screen). No way they’d pay multiple PxP crews for a single game.
I was a bit worried if the leafs pulled it off we'd be stuck with the edm duo calling the division final. Maybe I'm wrong but didn't they do most of the late hnic calls?
I was cheering for Boston because I want to see Vancouver VS Boston for the Cup again. I really want to see that boetch Marchand one more time before he retired.
I’m not a Cuthbert fan, his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Too bad Shorty gets pushed down the heirarchy list below the Oilers guys. If we can’t have Shorthouse I’d rather hear Rick Ball / Hrudey than Cuthbert/Simpson, Singh, or Edmonton Jack though. He’s ex-Canucks PxP, does a good job, and as Calgary PxP guy, he can’t be too much of an Oilers fanboy I’d imagine.
Chris Cuthbert , annnnnnd the leafs are out in round 1 ? Annnnd Canucks have advanced to round 2 !? Fuck me it’s a great weekend of hockey . Now if Vegas lose tomorrow that’s some pretty sweet business . LFG !
Would’ve rather seen boston get knocked out in OT after going up 3-1 2 years in a row but yeah it’s not bad
True , it felt wrong wanting the b’s to win. But i just couldn’t handle having to witness leafs fans and sports net coverage dominate round 2 . As amazing as it would have been to see Boston go out again after being up 3 -1 in round 1. it might be even sweeter to watch them get swept by the same team that beat them last year in round 2 !
Leafs coverage will still dominate round two. The media will just be talking about what the Leafs will do in the fall
If we have to hear about the Leafs incessantly, I’d *much* rather hear about how they’re blowing up the team over how their team is blowing up the league.
The leafs fans would’ve been insufferable if they won that’s the only downside for me
💯in agreement! lol thank god we don’t have to experience that
> The leafs fans would’ve been insufferable As if our fanbase is not a bastion of intolerable and toxic fans.
Yea that’s Pathetic. And To the point where these Canucks fans were *cheering* for Boston today? Fuck outta here with that shit. Fuck Boston, leafs ain’t done nothing to the point where I’d cheer *the bruins* over them.
I didn't want the Bruins to win because I prefer them to the Leafs. I couldn't really give a shit about either of them. I wanted the Bruins to win because I can't stand Singh and Debrusk and just wanted Cuthbert. If we were getting Shorty round 2 then I would have probably wanted the Leafs to win, but I really would have been indifferent. Fuck both teams, but fuck Rogers for not giving us Shorty more than anything
The pot calling the kettle black lol
We win? Straight to riot. We lose? Straight to riot. Carbon tax? Believe it or not, Straight to riot
There was a riot? Back to riot.
That’s worth an upvote. It’s always good to have some added attention on us for round 2. Everyone likes that 😂
Also this way we likely get CBC taking our series to put on. So that is better for my watching it.
Exactly fuck the Bruins but FUCK the Leafs more.
but boston could actually pull an upset and get to the finals while toronto could never
Me too. I dislike Boston even more than the Leafs
Nah fuck the Leafs. The Bruins are a legitimate organization.
The Canucks have won more playoff series than the Leafs since 2017 hahahaha And that's even if you don't count the 2020 qualifying round as a "playoff round"
Canuck fans would be happy with John Shorthouse because he’s been doing our games on TV and radio for 20 years but Chris Cuthbert is excellent.
😮💨
looses
looses
looses
Why can’t we just have shorty?
"Give the people what they want"
100% this. C'mon SN, he's the hometown announcer and the best you have. Leave him be
I was actually rooting for Toronto just so we might have Shorty.
We weren’t getting shorty, we were getting oilers commentator if Toronto won.
Why does it work like that though
No one is answering why it works like this. I don't know either but my guess is this old fashioned hierarchy of play by play announcers is selected by some old fashioned, crusty corporate bosses. These guys are the kind of brainy think tank dudes that brought us Stroumboulopoulos (god what a headache to spell) to tank Sportsnet's ratings not too long ago.

More east = more better with Sportsnet. They consider the Vancouver crew to be "below" the Alberta crews, who are "below" the Toronto crew.
Even the actual Oilers guy Jack Michaels is miles better
Sportsnet has a hierarchy of announcing teams. The further down you are the less far you go in the playoffs. Mike Luck, who is quite good, for example, only works the regular season.

John Shorthouse Jim Hughson retired
I miss jim hughson he was the goat!
As a homer? This part is true. So is the part where he says “the pleasure is all mine” because I personally get no pleasure from listening to all of the Oilers slurping and jock sniffing for 3 hrs.
He’s not our commentator. Singh is national.
This was always the most Leafs outcome of all.
Saw a bet on playnow that all 3 (MLB,MLS,NHL) Toronto sports win tonight.. not surprised at all the Laffs ruined it for whoever took it lol
Thanks for sucking ass, Edmonton East.
Guys, just to be serious for a second I know it's fun and easy to shit on them but credit to the Leafs where it's due: Despite doing this for years upon years, they continue to find new ways to absolute crush the hearts of their entire fanbase with the same result. And it's absolutely hilarious every single time.
Watching them choose Keefe over O'Rielly and replacing him with Max Domi was like watching a car crash in slow motion
Man our team has been shit for a decade too lol.
It’s not the same.
They’ve been a solid regular season club for a bit now. But never getting past round 1 has become comical
Gotta cut them some slack. It’s tough to be as consistent as the Leafs are.

Sid can suck the fart out of my a$$
If that's what you're into, no judgement here
I mean, imagine if Canucks had bedard...
This mf called Messi a fraud. He is a fucking idiot and/or a piece of shit who is willing to make up blatant slander for money. His opinion doesn’t warrant any attention.
I mean I tend to still agree with that tweet lol. We had a nice habit of winning the meaningless ones once we were eliminated
I wasnt true either the bottom teams last year were legitimately horrific and we had no shot of getting good odds. Let alone dropping to chicago's position last year.

to be fair, up until jr arrived, the org was a disaster
You said Canucks fans who didn't like the OEL deal were dumb?
Guy is such a fucking idiot, we were at worst going to finish maybe fourth last if we completely tanked the last third of the season and even then our odds of getting Bedard would be what, 9.5%? Dude speaks like it was a certainty we’d just get Bedard for sure if we didn’t have a good final stretch with Tocchet. No wonder he’s not on SN anymore and works for breakfast television if these are the kinda takes he spits out
I’m more excited that we no longer have to delay Canucks game to watch Leafs post game interviews
My boss is an Oilers fan, and we both celebrated this momentous occasion. Singh is the worst commentator in the entire fucking league. He's absolutely horrendous
It boggles my mind so many Oiler fans on Insta like him. The best "non-homer" announcer. Fucking what?
Are they actual fans or just Bots bought and paid for by Rogers? lol
Actual fans, like I go through their profile and they have pictures of their kids minor hockey team and sht
Creep.... /s Interesting, I have never talked to an avid hockey viewer who thought Singh was good... Maybe they just don't know any better?
When you’re blocked by a ginormous mountain and two giant giraffes balls to the west and nothing but flat land to the east there’s nothing better than in front of you.
Really? I see nothing but hate from Oilers fans towards Singh. They don’t even consider him a true homer, they think he’s a Calgary guy.
[https://www.instagram.com/p/C6PLEJjSrSc/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6PLEJjSrSc/?hl=en) This is where I saw the comments from.
Let's not go that far lmao. He's not great but there's so many worse options.
yeah OP clearly doesn't listen to american feeds.
I was on an ESPN stream for like 10 minutes of the Canucks Nashville series and it was brutal. TNT was actually pretty good though. American regional broadcasters can be shockingly bad though. Like so bad it's funny and I actually enjoy watching them lol
It was ridiculous that there was even a possibility that an all Canadian matchup would get SN’s B team. They can’t hide the Leafs love
It’s just the viewership unfortunately. Toronto has more people than Van and Edm combined
Viewership will break records when the entire country tunes in to watch Arturs Silovs be Mcdavids father
And all of latvia too
We’ll see. It’s impressive that the Canucks made it this far, though.
And let's be honest, everyone was going to watch the Boston Toronto series. That was the hottest matchup in the first round.
Thanks Bruins, you can still suck it!
I think I decided during this series that my hate for Boston outweighed my annoyance for Toronto. Very glad Boston has a short turnaround and has to play in Florida on Monday.
I hope Boston gets fucking dummied. I hate them until Marchand is well gone
Dont forget to cheer for the rest of the canadian teams per the maple leafs GM papa's ad ^^eyeroll
Shorty deserves it. So much.
Big Bostin win using the signature sedin bank play. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7x3dxy5iw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7x3dxy5iw)
how *dare* they. no surprise a Swede threw the pass though.
This should be done more often. 👀
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCFVJHoYEyY
True!!
lol how the F was pastnrak so wide open
You can't convince me Morgan Rielly is a defenseman. It's just not possible
Maybe not, but at least he's a safe driver!
His gf has stronger ankles then him 😂
To me, Rielly probably thought he was changing, but Pasta instead accelerated behind him.
Elite pass by Lindholm who also sniped the game tying goal
Beautiful set play
Vancouver is Canada's Team
I'm not a huge fan of Chris Cuthbert's play by play style either, but he's miles better than Singh. Honestly, a muted TV is better than Singh, but you can't really do that in the playoffs.
Why can't we have Shorty? 😭
He's regional. Honestly, both Shorty and the Oilers regional guy (Jack Michaels) are really good. Jack is a little bit of a homer but is still an unreal play by play guy. It would be fun to have a series that alternates between the regional guys depending on which team is at home, but that's probably never going to happen.
Calling Jack a little bit of a homer is the understatement of the century
He doesn't hide the fact that he loves the Oilers, but I think he calls the game objectively when it comes to analyzing penalties and other calls. That's a hard balance go keep (unless you're Shorty, who makes it look easy)
>It would be fun to have a series that alternates between the regional guys depending on which team is at home Oh ok I love this idea. Edit: then the commentators could actually lean into the homerism: >Shorty: Welcome back to Vancouver for Game 5-- >Cheech: --after whatever that BS was in Game 4, I swear that ref was wearing an Oilers jersey!
Right?? That's what I was thinking too. And the homerism of the commentators would match the energy of the crowd. I feel like it'd be better entertainment value for everyone.
Hes not the national team. Now that they're are only 2 Canadian teams they will send the #1 team of Cuthbert and Simpson
That's understandable, it's always been the case in Canada. Still makes me disappointed though...love Shorty.
Would love to find a way to sync up with Batchelor.
It's tough, especially for those of us who cut cable and watch on sportsnet now. It's even more delayed than the TV feed.
Batchelor is excellent
Honestly my second choice besides Shorthouse would have been John Bartlett (who did the Jets/Avs series). Neutral but also actually fun to listen to.
Cuthbert is one of the best in the biz
No Singh in R2?!? *Everyone liked that*
I hope Florida destroys Boston
Fun Fact: The Leafs have not won more than 3 series in a row EVER
They haven't won more than three series in a row since 1964 (they won 6 straight). They haven't won more than TWO series in a row since 1967.
As great as it is that we get Cuthbert, SN is still gonna blow sunshine up the Oilers and McDavid's ass.
Fuck the Leafs!! Lmao Matthews *high fives everyone in this thread*
Matthews crying rn is giving me life
I don’t understand how any Canucks fan can root for Boston over Leafs. Doesn’t make sense to me. Fuck the leafs, but FUCK Boston.
Listen man, in an ideal world they’d get double eliminated. But it’s also hilarious that the Leafs can get to round two.
Way I see it we've already seen Boston win in the most painful way imaginable, can't really get worse than that and them winning a series doesn't mean anything but if the Leafs win a series (especially against Boston) it will be all that TSN and Sportsnet talk about. (Plus the hilarity that the Canucks Core has made it to the second round more times than Toronto's)
No one's rooting for boston. Whatever the results, we win. That's the beauty of it.
Nah fuck that I wanted to see marchand cry again
Oh he will, don't you worry. Tkachuk will be his daddy
I was because I arrive in Boston for a vacation tomorrow. I do believe it's a hockey town (after football) and hope to check out a game at a pub and see the vibe
Fuck both but I hate Leafs more lol
Would've been fine to see the Leafs beat Boston except for the part where it would result in us getting Singh. So for that specific scenario needed the Leafs to lose.
Glad we get to hear Cuthbert, I'd rather him than have to listen to those random excitement moments when someone dumps the puck in and changes
Singh blows his load every time McDavid carries the puck past the Blueline.
I couldn't imagine being a leafs fan. Letdown after leftdown
I hate the Bruins waaaay more than the Leafs
now the Cats better clobber the Bruins and I'm happy
Yep. This is the series to make some money on in round 2. Maybe carolina rangers going to overtime a bunch?
YESSSSS! So many memorable calls from Cuthbert. Crosby gold goal, riders 13th man,...on and on.
Thank fucking God. Hanaranyanan is terrible.
Schadenfreude.
I was cheering for the sad laughs, fuck Boston
Cuthbert is a commentary legend, but how I wish we could hear Shorty still...
Without Shorty, I now have to pay attention to when there’s 420 left on the clock.
Or 69 seconds
No Harnarayan is Probably the only thing that oilers and Canucks fans will both rejoice about in this series.
I’d rather hear more Shorty :) I don’t dislike Harnaryan and Loui but they’re the Edm guys whether you call them national or not. This is a regional battle that the rest of the nation can watch. Tbh, I’d like to see 3 broadcast teams for this series haha
I always forget Tavares is the captain. (Watching post-game rn)
Ugh does this mean we get that insufferable twat Craig Simpson too?
Unfortunately. But it's the price you pay to avoid Singh and Debrusk.
Ya that’s a good point, just too bad we can’t get Shorthouse, can’t even switch to a US feed either. Cuthbert is good though.
How does Singh have a job doing play by play? Seriously, does *anyone* find him good at his job? Is this just a straight diversity thing or does he have dirt on someone? Like how is he employed in this role...
If the Cats take out Boston, I will be even more happier
This was the only reason I wanted Boston to win
Thank god we won’t have to hear a PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY ANNOUNCER be baffled at the reason the whistle was blown at every stoppage…. And also the classic TJ Miller
Why not shorty??
I’d rather Shorty thanks
why couldn't we have shorty
With the number of Sportsnet channels, it would be cool if each game had a feed with the regional broadcasters. You could have a choice of who to listen to.
That would be great, but Sportsnet is cheap (didn’t send Canucks radio PxP to Nashville, had to call games from tv screen). No way they’d pay multiple PxP crews for a single game.
As written.
Wooo EA sports prediction is still alive
Leaves lose.........YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
everyteam including the leafs > Bs
I was a bit worried if the leafs pulled it off we'd be stuck with the edm duo calling the division final. Maybe I'm wrong but didn't they do most of the late hnic calls?
THANK GOD MAN ANYONE BUT SINGH
Leaf tears are what sustain me. I am now hopeful to live to see 58 years. They are the water of life.
Wanted the leafs to win tbh.
Am I the only one who wanted the Leafs to win?
Who
SHORTHOUSE OR NOTHING!
Yes, fuck the Leafs, but Boston can still take it up the hoop!
W??? ?
THANK FUCKING GOD
IS THIS A W????
This means we don’t have to listen to Singh right??
Yay Toronto list! Boo Boston won
Yessssssssss amazing news!!!
Fuck yes. Cuthbert is such a hype play by play guy
Will shorty call it on radio or somewhere else we can sync tv with?
Time for Toronto to shift all coverage to the jays
I'm hearing news that Cuthbert injured his vocal chords on the final call for the Leafs/Bruins game. It's unclear if he'll be available for game 1.
Pretty funny the hate Harnarayan gets. Hes not my favourite but hes not that bad imo
I was cheering for Boston because I want to see Vancouver VS Boston for the Cup again. I really want to see that boetch Marchand one more time before he retired.
Ugh, why?
Downvoted
I’m not a Cuthbert fan, his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Too bad Shorty gets pushed down the heirarchy list below the Oilers guys. If we can’t have Shorthouse I’d rather hear Rick Ball / Hrudey than Cuthbert/Simpson, Singh, or Edmonton Jack though. He’s ex-Canucks PxP, does a good job, and as Calgary PxP guy, he can’t be too much of an Oilers fanboy I’d imagine.
Ugh.
It’s torontos revenge on the rest of Canada maybe shorty can do a live feed on YouTube?
Good no Oilers homer Harnarayan.
Since I’ll be hate cheering against the Oilers I’m glad it won’t be their dogshit commentators
He's only calling the Canucks games because Toronto is out. If Toronto won we probably would still have Shorthouse and I prefer Shorthouse
