I agree Browna - Don Taylor is horrible. He's got a few "bits" that he uses every sportscast and that's it. His favourite is to take a last name and say for instance "in Crosbyian fashion". Lame.

Moreover, why is it that Vancouver seems to have more homers than other markets? Tony Gallagher is another guy that drives up the wall. Most of Calgary's main sports guys (Mark Stephen, Peter Maher, Rob Kerr, etc) do a pretty good job of staying impartial in my opinion.

I also think Dave Rowe is under-rated and brings a different knowledge base to the table than the rest of the Fan crew - particularly with his racing knowledge. Rick Lafitt (sp?) is also under-rated and a guy I wish they would give more on-air time too.

But yeah. I recall from living in Vancouver that their coverage out there is horrible. Ugh.
