Joe Bowen's Epic Play-By-Play of Nylander's Game-Winning Goal in OT Against the Wild
The Toronto Maple Leaf's fanbase is one of the most passionate in the NHL, known as diehards, worldwide. With that being said, shouldn't playcalling reflect the same feelings the fans have for the team?
Toronto Maple Leaf Fans Deserve Commentary by Joe Bowen
Bally Sports seems to think otherwise, as you can hear on the TSN or Sportsnet broadcast lacks the emotions that Joe Bowen has. Here's an example:
The commentary is beyond lifeless, it's just going through the motions as one of the Leafs' highly skilled players continues his scoring drive. Who wants to listen to your favorite team being called by Bally after this?
Twitter account @leafsjellyHD is saving Maple Leafs fans from hearing the droll broadcasting, by splicing the radio commentary and adding it to each goal clip for fans to enjoy.
Clearly, MLSE knows how to continue to cater to their audience who has been let down by the status quo at Sportsnet lately. While they focus on enhancing their brand, this could increase demand for a Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph commentary for the playoffs. Who says no?
