Dear Gord no it would not. I like Ray, I'm very interested to see how he handles.the gig. But he generally hasn't been the most.. supportive of the Canucks in recent memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Strawbone Posted September 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2023 I'm one of those who thinks Ferraro is a good choice. He'll never be affable like Cheech was, but he's passionate about hockey and has some interesting insights. He can be a little abrasive, but together in the booth with Shorthouse, the tone might be lighter. I'm looking forward to listening! 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Dave Tomlinson apparently will not get all that may game which for me, is too bad. My experience with watching other game is Ferraro's voice can get, um, I'll just say repetitive and leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I think I'll like Tomlinson more, but maybe some of Ferraro will be a nice way to mix it up.

RWJC Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Canucks: Dave Tomlinson calling games with John Shorthouse, with help from Ray Ferraro Play-by-play man John Shorthouse will call Vancouver Canucks games on TV alongside analysts Dave Tomlinson and Ray Ferraro this coming season. The long-rumoured set-up came to fruition on Tuesday, with Sportsnet announcing their broadcast team for 58 regional Canucks games. It’ll be largely Shorthouse and Tomlinson, with Ferraro joining the broadcast for “select regional Canucks games throughout the season.” Dan Murphy is back as host. Ferraro also works for ESPN. No word on how many Canucks games he’ll call, and whether they’ll employ a three-man booth for those games or they’ll give Tomlinson the night off. Ferraro is married to Canucks assistant general manager Cammi Granato. Tomlinson had been the Canucks’ radio analyst for seven season prior to the team switching rights holders from TSN 1040 to Sportsnet 650 in 2017-18. He’s spent the past two years as radio analyst for Seattle Kraken games. News broke in late March that John Garrett, who had been the analyst for Canucks’ games since 2001, wouldn’t be returning for Sportsnet regional games, even though he still had another year on his contract. He’s expected to still work other Sportsnet games, though. Sportsnet 650 has also confirmed the radio crew for this season. Brendan Batchelor is back for play-by-play, with Randip Janda handling the majority of the analyst duties. Brett Festerling will fill-in for Janda on Saturday games once again. https://apple.news/A_b9MSF5bT46BXCSbWbbZFw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal_thecup Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Ferraro will be great. He's hard-working, smart, and he's got connections and history all over the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
