I literally depend on Joe and Jim's broadcast here in the states. Most of the American commentators on ESPN or TNT don't get the vibe of Canadian teams, let alone the Leafs. American commentators don't know the teams play style/make up, the history of the teams and rivalries, they get nothing right. All they care about are the American team playing against the Leafs. So with Joe and Jim, I get a MUCH better game experience.
Super glad to hear this news.
Bring them back they r great
Thanks for tracking this, Zach. No one does the Leafs call better than Bowen. I am a new subscriber and appreciate your takes.
Bring Joe Bowen to Sportsnet
They need to be on tv again
Joe Bowen needs to return to TV ASAP! It also annoys me that I have had to tune into both Sportsnet and TSN (who are subsidiaries of two of this country's most awful ISPs / telecom giants) to hear Bowen exclaim 'Holy Mackinaw' on a huge play and Jim Ralph cracking a joke nonchalantly. Imagine Bowen's reaction if we *finally* got into Rounds 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, with a team that is as untouchable as Vegas and Florida offensively and defensively!
What a travesty. I love Joe Bowen. He should 100% be calling all the Toronto games in my opinion. The guys that call now are horrible. They should be pro leaf and instead they always talk about the other teams and rarely hype up the team they call for. It's insane. If you listen to for example the Rangers call guy he constantly talks up his team. That's how it should be. Craig Simpson is the most cardboard/neutral colour commentator I have ever heard.
Bring back the Legends! And change that goal song!
Love Joe Bowen & Jim Ralph.
My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Joe and his wife. Some years back at a bistro in Unionville. Where my good friend was a bartender. We sat together for the whole night and just chatted. Super nice people♥️ They Need to Be Back on T.V..
I don't watch the intermissions recently. Not a fan of the women panelists in the least.
We need it on AM radio. Northern Ontario is always cut off of luxuries.
We need them back 100% so excited make it happen.
YEAH WE WANT THEM BACK, WHO ARE THE OTHER FUCKING CLOWNS
I miss Joe's calls
I absolutely enjoy listening to Joe Bowen doing games with Jim.
Kid you dont know what legendary is .. Give me Foster Hewitt….
all the voices of the leafs suck compared to Foster!!!
I don't watch SN for this reason. I am forced basically to get my Leafs games elseware, from the darkside. The contrast in commentary couldn't be wider. I actually prefer to watch the oposition commentaters be the homies they are and should be, then the scam we now get from SN and slightly better TSN. Leaf games used to be a joy to watch now nothing disgusts me more. I remember this year a time when the color guy called the Leafs the bad guys. I miss the way hockey was broadcast with Joe, it was much better. Watching those SN intermission breaks are nauseating.
