Fully agree. Vlad Konstantinov was a tough swede?
Romanyuck looked pretty rough. Unshaven, red eyes, crackling voice...somebody came home and is wondering who left the toilet seat up

Did anyone catch Ron on Coaches Corner? He is not a happy man.
Every time I look out my window, same three dogs looking back at me.

Re: HNIC may leave CBC :)
I forget exactly what was said, and I deleted my recording, but Cherry opened the segment saying something like "this is what it's like when they're playing you off" and Ron said something like "at least for you they're still playing".Reefer2 wrote:No - what did he say?BurningBeard wrote:Did anyone catch Ron on Coaches Corner?

He barely said a word during the whole segment and looked like he was dead inside.
Edit (thank Bingo for the link):
Don: "This is what you call phasing a guy out."
Ron: "At least you're still in the phasing part."
And then Ron spends the entire segment staring at Don. What a weird, uncomfortable segment.

Re: HNIC may leave CBC :)
All I saw was Cherry blasting the leaves for their shitting drafting, noting the two time recent champs LA Kings drafting all our Canadian players, thanks to Michael Futa.
Speaking of the draft, I can see Connor McDavid with the Flames, which I'd be ok with as long as we win the Cup before they win their 2nd. ha.
I'm just tired of American teams getting all the Canadian generational talents.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Less Canucks embarrassment please.
Re: HNIC may leave CBC :)
Aw poor Ron. It's called just rewards for all his weaseling and snivelling pro-laughs attitude over the years.
Couldn't happen to a better guy. I'm sure Alex Burrows has a huge smile on his face watching Mcclean go down the flusher.

From my GDT post
Did Mike Johnson really praise Taylor Hall for the retaliatory knee he threw at Hamhuis?
Is there anything funnier that Damien Cox and his 1960's Star Trek computer attempting to explain Henrik Sedin's offensive zone start statistics two thirds of the way through the second game of the season?
Get Nick Kypreos a glass of milk or send him to the bell tower.

Re: HNIC may leave CBC :)
I cannot say the words that will adequately express how utterly ecstatic I am, that Ron "the psychic" McLean is done like a two day old dog turd. He was such an asshole when Auger went after Burrows. I strongly dislike him and his organ grinder Don "the clown" Cherry. These two were the reason I didn't watch HNIC unless the Canucks were playing. Even then I left the room between periods.
Having said all of that, I have to say Romaniuk and Johnson aren't the pair I would have picked to do Canucks games. If these are regional games please give us Shorty and Garrett. Johnson says such stupid things that I feel embarrassed for him.

I'm pretty sure we do get Shorty for regional games and Romaniuk is only being used for national broadcasts.Canuck-One wrote:Having said all of that, I have to say Romaniuk and Johnson aren't the pair I would have picked to do Canucks games.

Although, given his history with the area, I'm surprised the didn't give national play-by-play for Vancouver games to Dave Randorf.

You can find the current vid here. He says something "at least you're in the phasing" to which Don says "yeah yeah, you're phased out."BurningBeard wrote:I forget exactly what was said, and I deleted my recording, but Cherry opened the segment saying something like "this is what it's like when they're playing you off" and Ron said something like "at least for you they're still playing".Reefer2 wrote:No - what did he say?BurningBeard wrote:Did anyone catch Ron on Coaches Corner?

He barely said a word during the whole segment and looked like he was dead inside.
Then he spends the next few minutes saying how stupid the leaves are.
Ha!
Re: HNIC may leave CBC :)
Is that the first we have seen that side of Ron's face?

Don: "Yeah, yeah, you’re phased out."BurningBeard wrote:
Don: "This is what you call phasing a guy out."
Ron: "At least you're still in the phasing part."
Then Don rants for 5 minutes about how their are too many "foreigners" on the Leaves.
(mostly he's pissed about the Leaves drafting Nylander)
Rotten Ronnie compares Nylander to Kopitar (LOL) but is otherwise silent until the ending, looking at camera:
“Brendan, I’m sure it dawned on you, you can con a lot of folks but... without the Can-Con ‘Don on you’ will have a whole different meaning.”
(Can-Con = Canadian Content)
Put the intro and the ending spiels together and it translates as:
“It’s all about me ME ME, my sad fate, and my lame-ass attempts to sound witty”
It's like watching a mortally wounded animal (weasel) die a slow agonizing death.

What a tired act. It was tired and played out by the mid-1990s. Hopefully, Rogers puts the old fool and his bag man out to pasture soon.BurningBeard wrote:I forget exactly what was said, and I deleted my recording, but Cherry opened the segment saying something like "this is what it's like when they're playing you off" and Ron said something like "at least for you they're still playing".Reefer2 wrote:No - what did he say?BurningBeard wrote:Did anyone catch Ron on Coaches Corner?
