Bownsie on Primetime. Congratulations Joe!

The closest we ever got in the Pat Quinn Era. 2002, overtime, Game Six, Conference Final. Carolina would go on to win the Cup. Couldn't find the Joe call but here's CBC.
Edit: Got it!

... and we're stuck with Paul Romanuk calling the regional games while this legend is still on the radio. I swear if it wasn't a minute ahead I'd mute the TV audio and listen to the radio. Bownsie and Rick Jeannerette are regional homer legends.

The slogan on his sweater (on side part) read "Toronto is Everything". 
(Expanded twitter photo & zoomed in).
He was having a grand time there.

Oh Howard... Based on his unchanging look, I have a feeling he Photoshopped his head onto those pictures

Very nice photos. I always wondered what the view was like up there. That picture of Bob McGill brings back some memories -- I and a family member were walking towards the then Maple Leaf Gardens and I recognized the fellow near me as Bob McGill. Sure enough, got an autograph from him. In so doing, this wide-eyed kid comes up to me, and asks me who it was, so I tell him and he goes "Bob McGill?! Wow!". Haha.

There's a bit of smoke in the air at the moment.
On the 18th, POS blew up on air, belittling Andi (more than usual), the Leafs, fans, any differences of opinion, and literally invited them to not tune in (which I'd imagine is the opposite of what you want in media).
That night, his Twitter bio was edited to remove TSN employment reference. He hasn't been on Leafs Lunch since.
Today, Andi mentioned the 'new guy' starts next Friday or something like that (I'm getting this second hand).
Then there's this:

where @yyzsportsmedia's response is "details forthcoming".
More likely reason: Babcock went to Lou to defend Hyman's honour, and Lou took care of business as usual.
