Alflives Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 2 hours ago, CRAZY_4_NAZZY said: 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. Po 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. Shorty and Batchrlor doing PBP. Colour is either Ray or Dave. Those other guys, like Janda, Festerling are craperolla. Keep them off our radio!

tas Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I'm glad to see this, I guess, but did I miss something where there was reason to doubt? just thinking about shorty leaving is borderline traumatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Erased Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I wonder why it’s only a one year deal. Wouldn’t it have been better to lock him up for a few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Sounds like a short house contract. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post danjr Posted September 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2023 I think out of sheer frustration I am going to hate the new clour person. They are not Cheech. I don't like any of the canidates listed so far in this thread. What's Kirk McLean doing? I'd just love him for Canuck stories. How about Bertuzzi, let him drink some cool ones on the air. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Frank Corrado, he's insightful. Interesting and a lot of Canuck stories. He's great on the radio interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Good news! Although I think my appreciation for Shorthouse thus far is more about him being a part of “the Johns.” We’ll never replace Cheech but hope he finds a good colour guy.

Smashian Kassian Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Didnt realize him leaving was even a thing until I heard the news he was staying, great news obvs! The rumour about the colour commentary is Ferraro (in time), part time now then full time when he's done his ESPN contract. I can't remember exactly where I heard it but I recall there being some buzz about that after Cheech announced his retirement. I'm hoping that's the case, we are used to such a high-bar with John+John, and it makes sense given Ray & Cammi live here. I think Tomlinson would be a fine replacement in the meanwhile, or Hirsch too (I know many don't like him but I think he's solid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
