I wanna know where those homers Singh/Debrusk ranks.
But I kinda miss hearing Singh’s screaming “*McDAVIIIIIIIDDDD!!!*” 🤯😍🙌 and trying to make “*GERMANY’S WAYNE GRETZKY!!!!!!*” happen.

For those that don’t want to pay the wall
The broadcast: Sportsnet carries Canucks games, with John Shorthouse on play-by-play and John Garrett on color.
Local ranking: 4
National: 4
Last season: 2 (tied)
The results: We’re at the end of a special era.
John Garrett, the Canucks’ color broadcaster since 2002, announced that he’d be retiring from Vancouver broadcasts at the end of this past season. Garrett’s heartfelt love for the team and hilarious banter with Shorthouse resulted in exceptional chemistry.
“The impending loss of John Garrett is a crushing blow,” said one Canucks fan. “No matter how bad the (Canucks) have been, he, Shorthouse and Dan Murphy made the broadcast fun.”
Garrett’s replacement will have big shoes to fill. Fortunately, Shorthouse, who was unanimously applauded by both local and out-of-market fans, will still be around.
“John Shorthouse is probably the best in the entire business at this point,” wrote one respondent. “He sees who is on the ice with very few mistakes. He pronounces names correctly. He never talks over or misses a play. He does math mid-game. He sees if a puck was tipped and by who, with near 100 percent accuracy. He raises his excitement at appropriate times, and slows it down when needed. He gives his color commentator time to say things, and has friendly banter without interfering with the broadcast.”
