I'm sorry if I missed it, but who's his partner going to be? 

Good news indeed! His colour man has not yet been announced. 
Possibly not yet determined.

 

ETA… thinking Shorthouse  might not have signed for another year unless he knows who he will be working with.

Dave Tomlinson back in the summer suggested he was returning to Canada for another opportunity. He was a former 1040 color analyst and worked much of 2011 beside John Shorthouse for better half of 4 seasons when Shorthouse was on the radio.

 

Could contain: Page, Text, Person, Face, HeadPo

 

I think most likely that due to Ferraro still being employed another year with ESPN he will take a few of those games (2 that will be nationally broadcasted with the Canucks on ESPN) and a few sprinkled here and there, and Tomlinson will fill in the rest.

 

I also would think Tomlinson may also make appearances on sportsnet 650 with Brendan Batchelor, as much of last year due to Corey Hirsch's departure, Randip Janda, Brett Festerling, Mike Santorelli were used throughout the season, but none of them really were good matches.

Damn Mike Santorelli is a radio guy now? Liked him during his short stint here.

Yay, more calls where he gets excited about the other teams goals more/just as much as as ours, in other markets their TV guys don't sound enthusiastic at all when the opposing team scores, check out Detroit. I have all the respect in the world for Shorty, he's had an amazing run, but time to let it go, it's time for change there. I'm also not a fan of "deflected in", you use "score" or "scores", those are my two cents.
