Seriously whats the deal here? I figured in order to be a professional broadcaster on a national broadcast you would have to have some sense to call a game fairly and with as little bias as possible. This isn't "Canucks TV" but it certainly feels like it. Jim Hughson is terrible and CBC should be ashamed of this garbage. Get off the air and replace him with a professional broadcaster who actually has the ability to call a fair game.

Shame on you CBC.

I'm pretty sure RSN controls the CBC broadcast it's just aired on CBC for now. The CBC moved Hughson back east. That he's now back doing the Canucks broadcast seems to say that it's a Rogers decision.

I got no problem with Jim as a commentator he is one of the best in the business. But honestly he should not be doing this series, why couldn't we have Bob Cole or Rominuk.

It's been this way for what, ten years?

He sucks and has always been nothing other than the Canucks PBP guy.

Either that or have a thread about it and this is the only place it can be mentioned rather than being 60% of the game thread lol.
