Why do they still force their trash onto us. I fucking hate Ontario because of this.

That’s a good broadcast team, although Craig Simpson is a bit of an Oilers homer at times. Better than the alternatives … just saying.

Shoulda been Shorty.

Craig Simpson will go full Oiler homer, he used to play for them. However, this is much better than Singh. Cuthbert calling the game especially when we play on road this series in Edmonton will bring back the Bubble memories from 4 years ago.

Fuck, I wish Jim Hughson came outta retirement for one final season. Cuthbert is fine, but Hughson is fucking iconic.

Chris Cuthbert once mailed me his football pxp chart template to help me when I did one season of BCFC pxp, because I tweeted at him for advice
Random tidbit lol he’ll always have a special place in my heart even if I much prefer Shorty for obvious reasons

Would’ve been nice to hear Shorty and DT, but this is way better than Singh and Debrusk

The main benefit of the Bruins winning.
Cuthbert, even at his age, is 10x the PBP Singh is

Leafs saved us from Harnarayan “Draisaitl. Now Mcdavid. To BOUCHard and… *gets confused* the puck exits the zone…” Singh.

The homer in me wants Shorty… but Chris Cuthbert is my favourite announcer since Bob Cole and Doc Emerick retired. So I’m pretty stoked!

If only Sportsnet had different regional channels and announcers so that local fans could watch it on their regional channel with their home broadcast teams and maybe save these guys for the national broadcasts.

Well I’m happy it’s not Singh. Dodged a bullet there. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but thank you Bruins!
Shorty would have been ideal, but I can live with Cuthbert. He at least knows what the hell is going on out there on the ice, unlike Singh who often doesn’t know why the play was whistled down.

Craig Simpsons comments are about as enlightening as a Pinecone, this guy is soooooooo boring to listen to, maybe he’s a nice guy I don’t know but he’s absolutely terrible at commentary 🤦🏻♂️ 💯

Will definitely take this over having Singh. While it may not be perfect, I will definitely take it.
CamaroGirl96
It should absolutely be shorty but I was happy it at least wasn’t Singh.
Then I saw they were doing broadcasts for my second fave team (Carolina) and it’s Singh!! What the hell why don’t they just stream the American broadcast 😡

For those that want a Canucks broadcast here’s what I do… I’m sure I’ll be posting this more than once as we go forward. Here goes!
There might be a better way to do this but where I’m at, the radio is well behind the tv, so here are my instructions for synching the radio broadcast to the tv.
1. Connect Bluetooth speaker to your phone and put speaker near the tv 2. Find the game on 650 radio on your phone. (On the Sportsnet mobile app it’s “more… > Live Radio > 650.) 3. Turn the sound right down on your phone/speaker 4. Turn the game on the tv SOUND ON—for now—and listen for the first whistle. When the whistle sounds push pause on the tv 5. Quickly turn the radio volume back up on your phone/speaker (you should have it playing without volume on your phone while you wait) and listen for that first whistle. PUSH PLAY ON THE TV while leaving the radio sound going. Voila. 6. Now turn down the sound on the tv and if you timed it perfectly you’ll get a beauty game call by Batch and pretty quickly you won’t even notice your tv sound is off (until the commercials come on lol).
*helpful hint—I actually count to three now before I push pause when the whistle blows on the tv to give myself a measurable moment. When unpausing my tv I always have to hit the play button twice because the first hit just gets it ready, and the second hit actually makes it play, so this gives me a bit of time. I often have to try a couple times as I don’t always time it perfectly, but once I do I don’t touch it again!! (Strangely, a couple times it has been a bit off again after intermissions, so I just do it again).
IT’S WORTH IT!
EDIT: Oh btw if you have to try again because it didn’t work the first time don’t forget to GO TO LIVE on the tv. It will be ahead of the radio again.
I hate listening to Simpson jerk off the Oilers. I like Cuthbert though and Scott Oake brings back fond memories of my Grandpa making fun of his hair plugs. So, I guess 2 out of 3 isn’t bad.

Shorty!

I wonder if Shorthouse will replace Cuthbert as the Toronto broadcaster after he retires, like how they stole Jim Hughson. Everyone in the back of their minds knows Shorthouse is the best but it can’t be acknowledged until after the old guard retires. He just has the coolest, most news-like voice yet it has this electricity to it. And he’s smart and super anal retentive (in a good way).
It’s an evil day if that happens but If the Canucks ever make the finals again that’s the only way we can hear him call it.

Simpson is awful!
