Hughson is definitely a Canucks fan - but I don't think there is anything wrong with that. It's not an "embarrassment" and he's definitely not over the top. The reactions on this forum are rather childish.
I expect the broadcast on CBC to cater to the home town market. Games 1 and 2 were more Vancouver focused. Game 3 was definitely Calgary focused. In addition, Canucks were the better team in Games 1 and 2 for the most part, and more interesting to comment on then the Flames.
Everyone watching has their own internal bias filter reading into every statement said on air. I guarantee you are all misunderstanding or reading your own nuance into what is said and projecting your conclusions onto Hughson.
Stop yelling at Hughson for a perceived favoring. He's actually not that bad of a play by play caller outside of this supposed bias (comments about limping bambi aside...).
Would you rather Millions and Garret spending 20 minutes discussing their favorite brands of peanut butter mixed with some uncomfortable silences?
