Now find where Mike Johnson is and make them the duo for Leafs games.

Meh, he's not terrible, but I always think his style is a bit milquetoast. As an example, the "golden goal" call was pretty weak, for a home country broadcast. Some of the other calls around the world were way better (and fun)

I'm not going to rag on Cuthbert for a split second of commentating. He's so much better than most alternatives we have right now.

I mean you're looking for excitement Bowen's your man but I can see why people think he's almost too into it.

Cuthbert is the definition of replacement level.

I like Gord Miller more than him. Paul Romanuk too.

Gord Miller is definitely amongst my favourites.

 

[Deebo]

Paul Romanuk too.

That's crazy.

I didn't want to be the one to say it  ;D

Paul Romanuk too.

That's crazy.

Liking Chris Cuthbert is like ordering plain cheese pizza.

If that were true, which it isn't, then preferring Romanuk is like ordering a none pizza with left beef

Exactly. One is bland and boring, the other is at least a fun meme.

That one kid who hands in an assignment 3 weeks late but it?s still done at the last minute.

If there's one person who can end a 9-year playoff drought it's... a former player with (to be the best of knowledge) zero experience in a hockey operations role.

Trying to piece together Adams' post-hockey career. He started as a development coach with the Sabres in 2009, was promoted to assistant coach in 2011, and was then relieved of those duties in 2013. Since then he stayed under the Pegula's employ in business positions with their Academy of Hockey and Buffalo Jr. Sabres organization. Less than a year ago he finally joined the Sabres organization again but as Senior Vice President of Business Administration.

And now he's their General Manager after what I'm sure was a very exhaustive search that included many interviews of other qualified candidates.

Wasn?t there a big thing at the end of their season where the owners expressed their faith in Botterill because of their non-public data?

That was 21 days ago.

New data must have come up in the intervening days.

I can see a new team emerging in the East, the "Quebec City Sabres".  Got a nice ring to it.

 

[bustaheims]

Seems about right for Buffalo. It's almost not funny anymore. Almost.

 

[Frank E]

I would only guess Eichel didn't care for him.

The team's non-existent play over that span probably had something to do with it.
