PS: Red Wings @ Leafs - Oct. 3rd, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

[Arn]

Shots 36-21 in favour of the Leafs. I doubt that happened even once last season, and certainly not by that amount!

We probably shouldn't discount the fact that the Wings got to the arena pretty late. I doubt that didn't have any effect on their play.

 

[Arn]

Agreed - just trying to find positives. That was only the first game I've watched in full and there were definitely things I liked.

You can only play what's put in front of you as well. How often would you expect the Leafs to have an advantage like a team arriving late and then they come out flat.

These announcers suck... Where's the excitement for a breakaway?

I think that's provided by the breakaway.

 

[proteus2000]

Refreshing to look at the box score and see that no player played under 10 min. When has that ever happened?

And good announcers accentuate such exciting plays.

I really haven't been impressed by Romanuk.

I don't mind I'm. I'm showing my age here a bit, but I guess I'm used to his calls from the world junior tournaments years and years ago.

I really like Gord Miller though.

Same here.  Plus its been what, 4 or 5 preseason games?

I've always been partial to Joe Bowen's play-by-play calls. He isn't/wasn't the best in the business by any stretch, but he always stuck me as being 'the voice' of the Leafs.

Is he done as the Leafs play-by-play guy now? No more games at all?

He's doing the radio play-by-play for the 41 games on the FAN590, not sure about TSN's half of the games though.

Joe Bowen made me cringe the last couple years. I'm not quite sure why, but I'm happy for the change.

 

[moon111]

Joe Bowen has perfected raising the excitement level just enough to make the game more exciting without over-doing it or being overly annoying.  Makes others seem dull and monotone.

 

[dappleganger]

How they got rid of Joe Bowen but kept Greg Millen is beyond me.

I find him kind of boring.  I'll give you that it's only a few preseason games but it isn't like he's a rookie broadcaster.  He's used to calling games.  It's the passion in his voice that I find lacking, not his overall play-by-play skills.

 

[ZBBM]

I never heard this Romanuk guy before. Pretty generic. But better than Bowen.

Why Millen is the color guy is beyond me. That dude is like a B&W console tube TV in an age of flat screens.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Romanuk is very knowledgable, I've noticed he confuses the numbers a little sometimes ala Bob Cole and when he tries to use the tag lines that some commentators like to do he is annoying, but all in all I like him so far.

I find he's much more even-handed than most other announcers. Never too much praise or criticism. I'm a big fan of that.

Yeah he got a few Leafs mixed up quite a bit. I wonder if that's just because he's been away from the NHL game for so long though. Like I noticed he mixed up Santorelli/Nylander/Kozun a few times yesterday, but it's not like those guys are household names.
