I've been mean to Romanuk this year but last night was next level bad. It's mindblowing that some Sportsnet executive considered their options, looked at Romanuk and Millen, and thought "that's who I want calling games for the largest fanbase in the league".
I used to think the TSN guys were bad back when Sportsnet had Bowen but oh man.
Could not agree more on Romanuk. My "favorite" from last night was the confusion between Jeff Chychrun and Steve Chiasson with the fatal car accident. He also incorrectly ID'd players on multiple occasions last night. He usually does that every so often but last night he did it several times. I don't necessarily care about the faulty ID's but his constant effort to make some sort of magical call is what gets to me. I hate that every time I want to watch AM34's first game I have to hear Romanuk call the debut "Luminescent".
As for Millen, I don't mind him too much but wouldn't miss him either.
I miss Bowen on the broadcasts simply for his passion for the Leafs and it's the voice I grew up with.
Hopefully some sort of change happens soon...
