ollie Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The real test will be Thursday night when the face the mighty Rangers. Go Sens!That's what people said about the Flyers games last weekend. I think we're officially a good team now, not that the Rangers won't be tough.

rubberdinghy Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sorta like the energizer bunny....They just keep going and going and going.....I haven't had this much fun with the Sens since the Pizza Line...and that was just tooo predictable.

TheSloth Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's Friday and I'm bored so I compiled some stats. Since that awful ass kicking the Habs dished out, which was made extra awful because I watched it with Davey Boy and Booche in the Basement of Doom, Mr. Anderson has had a SV% of 0.948 and GAA of 1.70. Not a bad little hot streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) oh hey, first time a Leafs-Sens game has mattered in a while. How things have changed around here.I'll start.Whoever the colour guy is for (oh, and the leafs just scored again) Ottawa sucks serious donkey balls.

Hal Johnson Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 He's the worst. There is zero objectivity in the whole broadcast. Refs were garbage last night and how come the issue with Spezza's goal was whether or not he touched the puck and not whether or not the fact that he was sitting on Reimer may have caused interference?

ollie Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 He's the worst. There is zero objectivity in the whole broadcast.You're surprised the colour guy on the Sens broadcast is a homer? Isn't that a prerequisite for the position?Just be glad you don't have to listen to him regularly call the Ottawa team "the Panthers". (He used to do Florida games.)

Hal Johnson Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 You're surprised the colour guy on the Sens broadcast is a homer? Isn't that a prerequisite for the position?There's an element of it for sure, but it's so blatant with those guys it's reaches Chisox territory.

Jokes aside, as someone that has regulary sat through CBC's "unbiased" commentary on their national broadcasts, I've got no problem having the local legend that's getting paid to be a homer actually be a homer in the local broadcasts, you probably shouldn't either. The Panthers thing is hilarous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Panthers thing is funny, I will always have a problem with it. Its not that bad in other places, you guys are just so used to it you think its normal. Pitty. You should be bothered by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Again, no we shouldn't, he's getting paid to do exactly that, it's Sens coverage.And yes, it's that bad in other places, at least it is in baseball. I don't watch a lot of other local feeds in hockey, just Sens and whatever the hell CBC is offering up so I can't comment on that but have you ever listened to the local Dodgers, Phillies, NY Yankees, Cubs or Atlanta broadcast? It's as bad as the Chisox broadcasts you referred to. It's what they're expected to do. I'm assuming you had to the turn the volume off for the CBC broadcasts of Leaf playoff games (in the ancient dark years when they actually made the playoffs) because that was supposed to be an unbiased national broadcast and they fall all over the Leafs. No big deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 It's almost like Hal is ignoring the fact that there was a game last night. My favourite Potvin-ism from this season was early on during one of the games where the Sens were getting pummeled. Ottawa scores a meaningless goal in the 3rd and Potvin compares it to "candy in the rain... it might be raining, but at least you've got some candy."

TheSloth Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think Hal may be ignoring reality in general but I always appreciate it when someone sticks to their guns, reminds me of a certain hall of fame commentator. Kudos Hal.Potvin can be pretty funny sometimes, whether it's intentional or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) You're absolutely right Sloth, in reality all colour commentators are exactly the same. ::rolls eyes::There's a fine line between adding insightful commentary and being a cheerleader. ANd yes, I've seen some of the local ballgame broadcasts and there's no way they're as bad as the ChiSox guys! Not even close! Anyhow, it was nice to watch a game that kind of mattered between the two. Here's hoping for a playoff series we can watch on the CBC!! :cheers: Edited January 18, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's not journalism - it's sports commentating. Your expectations are unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
