Lol Sportsnet isn’t even using their own call for replays.
No surprise, he's a military booster. I always find it's best to ignore sportspeoples' politics. Pat Quinn was a tory but I still loved the guy.Finding out that he's a MAGA guy made me sad tho
Meh. He doesn’t have to share your politics to call a stellar game, filled with excitement. It’s the major problem with the age of info. Makes it easier to see everyone’s warts. Still the best to listen to for a Leafs broadcast IMOFinding out that he's a MAGA guy made me sad tho
Not sure where I've been the past few months. Bowen is MAGA?Finding out that he's a MAGA guy made me sad tho

Yeah fuck him forever. I can forgive an early maga supporter who was blind and has now regretted such support even if being a shit human was his brand the whole time but if all this shit has happened and youre still maga, fuck you im out.
Covid denier too. Par for the moron courseNot sure where I've been the past few months. Bowen is MAGA?
All this makes me incredibly sad.Covid denier too. Par for the moron course
Yup credit to them. The whole situation is hilarious. No urgency whatsoever until it was too late. Except it wasn't somehow. You'll never see that shit again.
He's ruined a whole lotta leafs calls over the years. Its pretty embarrassing that their flagship guy for their flagship team won't ever be used as the historical record for these kinds of goals. Hell, even the NBC call was way better.
there was a really telling moment in game one when korpisalo made a big glove stop and a shift or two later Andersen responded with a real good stop of his own, and Simpson made a comment like “those big stops are a lot less exciting without crowds here”
It’s not necessarily bias. I think they’re just fundamentally bad at what they do.It was a few years ago, but I remember seeing that a researcher had actually done an analysis of HNIC broadcasts, measuring the pitch and tone of the announcers (Hughson and Simpson, mostly) and the takeaway was that there was a clear anti Leaf bias in the broadcast booth when similar events (goals, etc) were measured between Leafs & Opponent.
Basically confirming with scientific analysis what we all knew (but are made fun of for claiming).
