hsedin33 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I hate missing the start of canucks games because of the earlier games usually involving TO. This mixed in with Ron MacLean amd the panels constant trash talking, don cherrys TO highlights during our intermissions, the constant awful play by play, I can only wish CBC stops broadcasting canucks games. All they do is drub up hate for our team across the league. I say get rid of em. Snp is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I have the same feeling as you and that is reflected in my signature statement. You'd have to complain to Gillis about the start times. The home team decides the start time, the league only decides what days. Networks often contact teams requesting specific start times to fit their schedule but it's up to the team whether or not they accommodate it.

Salmonberries Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'd like to see the CBC stick to what they do well, which is Toronto Maple Leafs hockey broadcasting. They're really good at it, Really passionate about it and it shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the play by play, the commentary between periods by the Glen Healy's and PJ Stocks' of the world kill the broadcast for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 CBC's hockey broadcasts make Canada look like a one horse country. Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see the OT of the early game than the first minute or two of the second game and I'm not a fan of TO. But you spend 3 hours watching a game, you want to see the end. A tight finish is more exciting than the first minute or two of a game 99 out 100 times. There's an awful lot of hockey fans that, like me, actually watch the early game as well.

Batmania Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Am I the only one that really doesn't care about this? No. No you are not. As west coasters though it's our stereotypical right to bitch about things that don't matter and make tiny mole hills in to giant mountains. Bottom line though CBC is payed for by taxpayers and there's far more tax payers in the east. If people don't like that I have a cure. Unprotected sex.

Tre Mac Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Mark Lee is straight brutal and Hrudey isn't cut out to do color. Really wish CBC wouldn't use the late game as a audition for thier stuggling play by play commentators. I wish you could hit the SAP button and it would cut out the audio for these clowns. I know I am not the only one who would rather watch the game with the on ice mic instead of having play by play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Mark Lee is absolutely brutal!!! Every time an Oiler touched the puck he would drop a load in his pants! Rick Ball was doing some CBC games last season, I wonder why Rick Ball wasn't doing this home opener broadcast in Vancouver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of Tom Joad Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Seriously, the CBC has the worst broadcast from all the major networks. I'm glad we have less games on the CBC because it means less Canucks' games being called by Mark Lee. Also, the CBC constantly has broadcasting issues with their coverage. It's bush league.

Although I do enjoy watching the end of tight games in TO, I still think its an issue that needs to be addressed specifically when it comes to the playoffs when OT's can go on for a long time.

There's an awful lot of hockey fans that, like me, actually watch the early game as well. Normally I'd agree but Saturday was the home opener so all of the supposedly great pre-game celebrations did not get televised because the Leafs were late getting started due to their opening festivities, secondly the overtime and thirdly the shootout. Not to mention, after the shootout instead of immediately switching to Vancouver, we had to watch a couple minutes of the Leaf players patting Reimer on the ass when we should have been watching the Canucks!
