Tom Wilson to the Canucks.

So, Gary since you're all about second chances, when does Kyle Beach get his second chance?

 

[mattola]

1000% Bowman to the Oilers they love their scumbags there ., and if they figure out how to replace the coach without looking any worse than they actually are.you know they would

Almost had our Coach, could have had our goalie, but nope you get our old awful play by play guy.
Good luck with a minor league announcer masquerading as an NHL announcer.

At least he will be light years better than two other finalists. Buccigross, who is too much of a fan and forgets to talk when watching the game, and our radio guy, Bob McElligott, who also is from Pitt and grew up idolizing Mike Lange. And tries to imitate him. But is nowhere near as sharp and clever.

He starts every broadcast with "It's time to put on youuuuur... JACKETS". And it generally gets worse from there.


Edit: I didn't mind Mears on the national game she called on TNT. Hope he develops some chemistry with Jody.

Mears tries to do that obnoxious minor league announcer yelling when someone scores a goal and it fails miserably.

And he is so plain he makes vanilla seem exotic.

But to your point Bucci is awful and anyone imitating Lange is just stupid.

If Mears can’t mispronounce at least half the players names then he’s a downgrade from Rimer I’m afraid.

Schedules are out and the regular season is too damn long and drawn out again.

And no in season tag team tourney either. Oh well.

I find no humo(u)r in it at all.

Some of his other highlights include the phrase "Flapjacks on a ferris wheel".

Also, for some damn reason, whenever Boone Jenner scores he shouts "Things that make you go BOOOOOONE". Cam Atkinson's call was "YES HE CAM". Cole Sillinger's is, as expected "THAT'S JUST SILLY"

It’s unclear if any team plans to hire the three men. However the Oilers are rumoured to be interested in bringing in Bowman as GM, in order to cure the franchise’s massive “being too likeable” problem in the wake of their recent Cup finals run.

Yes, the shitty defenseman from the Islanders

On the bright side, probably spells the end of PO Joseph in Pittsburgh

Curious what happened to this guy: Jay O'Brien - Stats, Contract, Salary & More

Was he hurt last year as to why he didn't play at all for the Marlies?
