My dad, long time habs fan, says the same thing. But it always comes out when they get scored against or lose.

I think that's probably true. I also still don't understand why it matters. Sportscasters aren't allowed to also be fans?

My enjoyment of the game is not such a delicate flower that it's ruined by a broadcaster liking a different team than I do.

But I've made the same comment in the Jim Hughson context, and it fell on deaf ears then too.

Marleau playing like a beast, not having to look out for Sarich out there.

Vancouver: Bieksa gets a lucky bounce off the boards

SJ: Bieksa - in his own net after a strange bounce off the boards

I'm with you right there. A lot of sensitive sports fans out there.

Calling Wingels for SJ

I don't really want a Canuck to score so I'll pick Schneider.

Lost in all the Canuck hate, this has been a pretty damn good game from a neutral perspective.

I do a produced feature recapping all the night's action, so for my sake, I hope this ends soon. Do not want a marathon.

Jumbo Joe for the Sharks, nobody for the Canucks because they won't win.

Unless his name is Peter Mahr right? Funny how you pick and choose which media members you defend and how we are sensitive but you pointing out Peter Mahr is losing it is fine and dandy.

Peter Maher was brought up in conversation, I gave an opinion. I wasn't ripping anyone who liked his call. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm not allowed to disagree with it?

Boy, I hope the Flames don't waste their first pick on a soft player like Couture.

And who is ripping you for liking the call of Ray Ferraro? Nobody is yet you called people "sensitive sports fans".

It's people's opinion that Ray Ferarro is a Canuck homer, why call them out? Personally I don't think he's a Canuck homer but who cares if people do?

I'm ok with the radio guys being somewhat homerish. They work for the team.

Not sure why it doesn't bother me as much.
