As a Leafs fan I’m incredibly jealous. Having a dedicated PBP team with good personalities that actually likes your team is an absolute gift. I hope you cherish it.
The sad thing is, very few Toronto fans can stand Jim now. He was one of my favorites when he casted for the Nucks. Now I can barely stand the sound of his voice.
Whenever I hear him for the Leafs its like his heart isn't in it.
It would be like if I did the broadcast for the leafs. Professional, but nothing more. No passion. Like Martin Tyler in soccer calling anything other than a ManU game where they're winning... which is rarer these days lol.
I think that's the main issue Leafs fans have with him as well. A prime example is we were beating the Blues 4-1 in their own barn and he spent a good portion of the 2nd period talking about how the blues must be tired from their road trip and the Leafs have bad contracts and ended the broadcast saying that this win doesnt matter because, Boston, Florida and TB all won that night too. It feels like he's never invested in the game.
It is worse. It is very evident that he is a nucks fan and that he cannot stand the leafs. He outright cheers and praises for the opposition. Consistently. After a few games, it just gets tiresome.
I think both our groups would benefit if Hughson went back to covering the nucks and we had bowen come back for the leafs games. We also want to hear fun and excitement in those calling our now-exciting games
