It’s hard to often gauge excitement especially when you consider other languages have different inflections, tone and pitch. Also, being able to understand what you’re hearing also helps with a better viewing experience, so I doubt I’d be switching over to the Punjab versions any time soon. The goal calls are pretty sick though, can’t mistake that excitement and passion. The thing about hockey play by play, 40% of the words are the player names. and if your watching, the rest doesn't matter, if you know what offside, icing, penalty calls are. but the tone and inflection comes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bieksa is a breath of fresh air but I fear he's to honest and edgy for this vanilla world of Canadian TV. Paul Newman once said. "A man that never insults anyone has no character" It's ok to go against the grain and voice your opinion, just not on Canadian TV. Bieksa could be our politically correct/acceptable Don Cherry, for sure. Would like to see a fight with Elliot Friedman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I liked about HNIC recently is the Punjab versions, now there are some guys that are hardcore Canucks fans. Do yourselves a favor and experience their excitement, it reminds me of the Jim Robson and Tom Larscheid play by play. Actual fans of the players and dont talk about the other teams players while drooling. 1 hour ago, Odd. said: The thing is, they speak a different language.

The goal calls are pretty sick though, can’t mistake that excitement and passion. The guys doing the Punjab play by play also speak english... I want the Vancouver play by play to be these type of loyal, passionate Canucks fans too. Dont talk about the other team's players while Hughes is screaming up the ice with the puck.... about who on the Pens team is on a hot steak 2 minutes before he scores.... I mean, everyone knows you dont say shutout when the there's 5 mins left in a 5-0 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Too bad, I actually liked the panel with Friedman and Juice at least. I thought they had some fun chemistry. I think it’s long past time to let Maclean retire - I don’t hate him like some but his schtick was with Cherry and he’s just kind of there without him. Wonder which way they’re going to go.

He'll get a nice offer somewhere else. HNIC hasn't been the same since they changed the theme song. Hasn't been the same since Dave Hodge was the lead. Bring him back! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cole couldn't remember the names but he was a master of making the game exciting. It's all in the tone of voice. The rest doesn't matter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNucks Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 If CBC wants to get cultural or modern they should probably make a soccer night in canada. They already lost us on HNIC. I would Subscribe to TSN if they were more focused on Canadian teams other than Winnipeg, Ottawa and Toronto. At least I could hear the right hockey theme song. But TSN should take everyone except Friedman on the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent years of TSN/Bell cost cutting measures makes me wonder if TSN is even going to bother bidding for the next NHL TV Contract? TSN would have to do a massive hiring spree if they want the next contract. Yeah Jen is an awesome person to have on there, so knowledgeable about the game… And Juice… wow I can’t believe it. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieVedder Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 most people are fine with ron and jen going, but you'd be stupid to let the juice loose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Well, if Bieksa doesn't replace Garrett, we should hire him on staff as a D coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickenspear Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 At least the Leaf homers on the panel can't corrupt Juice any further... it was getting tough to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maninthebox Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Haven't watched in years. I'd prefer to listen to the actual.game, not some dude describing what I can see, another dude rambling about nonsense, and some woman squeaking now and then. Can't even get that experience live with all the adhd crap they spew between whistles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Better yet, let’s put the #3 jersey back on Juice and pair him with QH! Also, never realized his middle name was Francesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
