redwings56 1 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Did anyone bother to watch it on CBC at all last night? I watched it to see an unbiased view. BAD IDEA. Although Dean Brown is always an excellent play by play guy, Harry Neal is the worst color guy. When Datsyuk double pumped to slide it five hole on Ellis for the first Wings goal, Neal thought that he had lost control of the puck and GOT LUCKY!!!!!!!!! to have slid it in. I COULDN'T BELEIVE IT. it really pisses me off when the casual hockey fan might watch that after the Sens game and then beleive the things Neal is saying. ANOTHER example. Datsyuk laid the body many times last night, yet Neal always thought he got the worst of it, or he was lucky to avoid it. ***! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah, I know I really worry about what the casual fan might think after watching one game. I can just imagine this casual fan's train of thought... "You know, I was about to become a Detroit Red Wings fan, but then I heard the guy on CBC say that Datsyuk got lucky. Screw that! I don't want to be a fan anymore."

redwings56 1 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 I guess my point didn't come across well. I wasn't really worried about the casual fan, more about how brutal Harry Neal is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akustyk 84 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 honestly, I don't care. and the truth is CBC was much better yesterday than it was used to be plenty of times before. and you should really be thankful Wings don't play any Canadian team because they'd be shot to the ground by CBC guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2probert4 8 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Really? I thought Neale was sucking the wings dick I was told that Ron McLean made referrence to Tootoo's play (stepping on Drapers back last night was the latest example) basically that he was a dirty player in so many words. Kelly Hrudey supposedly said it point blank that Tootoo was dirty. Did they really say that ? If so, it's long overdue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
