I'm sure my opinion doesn't carry much weight, because it has already been hammered to death.
I don't get the obsession with play by play guys. Kerr, Lee, Weeks, etc etc etc. It is easy to get caught in the mob mentality of CP when everybody piles on somebody for some reason.
You can't fault guys for being fans of certain teams. You don't get into the game in that capacity without being a fan.
Generally, I like Hughson. Talent wise he is probably one of the best among Canadian broadcasters.
However. Last night, I was embarrassed for Hughson. In previous games you could sense his affinity for the Canucks, but not to the point where is was cringe worthy. Last night was not the case. It was flat out embarrassing. When other members of the media subtlely suggest the same, it has become painstakingly obvious.
