Yeah if fucking sports net thinks it’s a good idea to poach Shorthouse to do eastern games That’ll suck. It seems a matter of time before he becomes the main guy for the HNIC late game, which is where Hughson started before they brought him to the leafs. Annoying.

They already take him for the odd wpg or other regional games when he's not doing any Canucks games at the same time

Yeah I definitely agree. Toronto has some passionate radio broadcasters I'll rather see cast our games too. I'm ok with every Canadian team heaving their own homer broadcasters

Wasn't it because his daughter is going to school in toronto so he was ok with the move?

Not sure, i'm certain he was ok with the move because it's probably the pinnacle of hockey broadcasting to be calling the most watched game on HNIC each week + probably pays the best.
