coolcat13 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I notice this more than anything. Ice and arena sounds are 10x more audible, which is great and adds to the intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yup, happy with this too. Only drawback is probably Ferraro. Think I heard him warn us about the Garrison signing, maybe 10x... "With Flor, Garrison scored all his goals at the start, then REALLY tapered off...", felt like he was wishing the guy would be a dud. Sorry Ferraro, the guy's a gem.

coolcat13 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 So CBC is showing Kings / Blues series ! It shows the indifference the CBC and HNIC has for the Canucks and the west coast of Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Why? Cause they aren't bias homers Like SNP? Love HNIC It's tradition, it's playoffs, end if story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i love semin Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm gonna miss the intros, but it'll only be one round without them, as it's pretty likely that if the Canucks move on to the 2nd round we'll be on CBC. I'd rather Chris Cuthbert and Ferraro than the CBC B-team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazoosoup Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I only have basic cable boo hooo so no TSN for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 If it's on TSN, bring back Pierre McGuire so I can make the playoffs interesting by playing this every game: Of course I'd update a few players, but you get the point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panelguy Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 interesting , the Canucks are the only one of the Canadian teams NOT on CBC although I prefer the commentators we will be getting this smells of more bias against the West of course we should expect that since Toronto is actually in the Play-offs after years of missing them .Saw that Elliott Friedman said something like " I think our guys here worry about how we are perceived out West in Vancouver " lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't recall a Canadian team bumped in favor of two American teams Kings / Blues which CBC is showing instead of the Canucks. We should all be angry because of the indifference shown by our publicly funded tv network. Hers the HNIC if you feel this is wrong let them know. hnic@cbc.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Although I want Jim Hughson to call the Canucks game, it's not too shabby with those two doing the play-by-play this year. Quite frankly I missed Cuthbert calling the Canucks game on CBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 And this is off-topic, but Dave Reid just said (When asked who can challenge the Hawks in the West) on TSN that he thinks: "the Vancouver Canucks are the one team that can beat the Chicago Blackhawks in a playoff series" I'm liking TSN more and more by the minute.

jag Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 stoked hate cbc now but everytime i hear cuthbert or armitage ( where is he?) i think of 94 playoffs and the way we played! We seemed like a different team right out of the gates and babych called it durin a pregame interview. Tsn + Cuthbert gives BC a hidden confidence that will translate into victory... I will know during thefirst 5 minutes how we will do this playoffs. In 2011 it was there as we came out storming because of revenge now they have to chanel that revenge fever to get back to the finals and take no prisoners along the way... I call 4 to 1 series if we come out flying and will be cautious or skeptical if we dont. Confidence is key and even confidence in the fanbase can be felt on ice through the arena.. Whoever is going to the game cheer louder than ever before say we want the cup instead of niemi chants and try to egg on some big hits. Edler will try to step up and deliver.
