T'Official HNIC unintentional comedy thread

True. I've always been a fan of Cole (even when he was teamed with Neale). His voice just generates excitement, even when he doesn't know what's happening (tip: it's everything).

He's excited about the game and he's positive about the game. It kills me that Rogers puts on guys that focus on pointing out negatives and telling us how bad all of the best players are. Really selling the game there, guys.

I didn't have much of a problem with Strombo. I hope they ditch Cox and Romanuk though.

Strombo is a talented person. He just wasn't good at this at all.

Having said that, bringing back Ron Maclean isn't the answer.

If I were Rogers, I would've asked Fox how much they wanted to buy out Jay and Dan's contracts.

 

[mattola]

im ok with Ron back until they figure it out. Ill actually watch it more now

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Might be nothing, but Damien Cox' Twitter acct has been in protected mode for a few days.

Maybe being proactive before Rogers lobs his head off?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Also worth mentioning that Maclean wasn't at the awards last night.

Well, McCown was the last radio show that was even remotely listenable in Toronto. So much for that.

Yes, we should definitely shuttle Cox off entirely.
