Tie breaker? Is that where we at? Win all and habs lose all in reg

I heard that’s better odds than finding a virgin in Kelowna.

Singh was born in Brooks, Alberta. His parents immigrated to Canada in the 1960s from India.^[1] Singh was an avid hockey fan as a child; he and his siblings were fans of Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers, and would do mock announcing using toy microphones. He studied broadcasting at Mount Royal University in Calgary, and was accepted into an internship at the TSN sports television network in 2004.

Thanks for the bio, although I didn't ask.

 

I have no problem with him doing his homer thing on their SNW broadcasts. But you should abide by your professionalism when you're doing national ones like HNIC. Shorty and Cheech never display such a blatant homerism even on SNP broadcasts.

 

I admire Singh's career achievement, but he should stick with regional broadcasts if he only wants to cater to his hometown fans.

I don't see what the risk is in firing Newell Brown and hiring someone else. 

Could it be worse? 

Is it worth a shot? 

 

Guys like Bieksa have commented that Brown is an excellent PP coach and the players aren't executing. 

Problem is, I haven't seen success on the PP since 2011 and that even dried up in the finals. 

If our guys haven't executed in nearly a decade, we either need new guys or a new coach

Didn't Pears used to be the PP coach  - until 2016 or something?

Canucks PP SUCKS !!!!!!!!

Haha true. I was genuinely curious if you knew though. There’s no chance I ain’t going to do that math haha.

Yeah, they weren't very nice to us  Jealousy nation-wide.  With that said,  it doesn't mean we have to stoop to their level.

 

Heart of the Canuck is all about the high road (and the high salary and high term) but mostly the high road.  I have the heart of a Canuck, how about you?

I'd rather not have the 'Heart of the Canuck' be about cheering for other teams, but thanks.

Cheech is one of the biggest homers in the game lol. Shorty is absolutely fantastic at being neutral though. Pure class.

Didn't take long before this came out 

 

He has more important things to worry about then points , like what is he going to do when alberta deems Clearasil non essential

Yeah we were pretty bad on that one. Then some interviews really didn't help, coupled with the fact that our team was pretty hateable. 

Lapierre, Bieksa, Burrows, Kesler and Torres. Players you'd love to have but hate to play against.

Cheech is one of the biggest homers but I love him. Shorty is really good at what he’s does. You can sense his passion on regular days but also slides into HNIC nicely

Pretty sure it's been Brown since 2010?

Hey remember how the rest of Canada treated the Canucks in 2011? 

I will never cheer for another Canadian team after the way fans in other cities rooted for the Canucks to lose in 2011.

F!#kem all I say!

[yes we can nucks]

So all we have to do is win our remaining 7 games and hope Montreal loses their last 2. There's still hope!

I'm surprised the refs were able to keep their cool and not react like a certain national broadcaster 

So rigging the game and calling penalties on us while the Soilers kept diving counts as keeping their cool?

Yup, that’s what it comes to, Habs lose out, we win out and get the tie breaker.

Montreal might actually lose those too. Haha 

We ain’t winning 7 in a row though. Just want to see the boys giver
