I often wonder. What did we in Montreal do to have Carlo Colaiacovo foisted on on us? It must have been a mortal sin because he is so bad, he almost makes you wish for Garry Galley. (Yes, Pierre Houde. Changing channels as we speak.) - ThreadSky

My RDS isn’t coming in today.
I’m stuck with the NHL network with a couple of guys calling the game form a TV monitor 😂

chrisjamessauve.bsky.social•90 days ago

Former Leaf. That’s all you need to know about TSN.

Pierre Houde is simply the best! Probably not fair to compare anyone else to him, in a league of his own! Denis is a great partner, too.

jacktodd.bsky.social•89 days ago

Dan Robertson could have been the Anglo Pierre Houde. But they packed him off to Winnipeg because they don't want Montreal to have nice things.

bkozak26.bsky.social•89 days ago

You can’t have him back. But if you do you have to take his colour guy as well.

I really need to improve my French so I can watch RDS. Here it is do much better.

jacktodd.bsky.social•89 days ago

It is.

nixmike.bsky.social•89 days ago

So I turn on the game. Surprise it’s 1-0 MTL. Ten seconds later, it’s 1-1. I really think I am a jinx. Oh and I totally agree with you Colaiacovo. Remember this is the Toronto Sports Network. Sadly, Sportsnet is no better. In that vein, why is Mudryk our play by play guy?

jacktodd.bsky.social•89 days ago

Another good question.

bustersmart.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes, emphatically. Hard to believe that, whether it’s play-by-play, on-site analyst, or between-periods penseur, Sportsnet/TSN cannot identify Montreal talent for the jobs.

bkozak26.bsky.social•89 days ago

We haven’t had Carlo do any Jets games but if he’s being compared to Galley, I’ll pass.

jacktodd.bsky.social•89 days ago

Just doing the between periods segments. From Toronto, natch.

jtschritter.bsky.social•90 days ago

There is absolutely no scenario where I wish for Gary Galley. If that change ever happens, I’ll be one happy guy.

horsepharmer.bsky.social•89 days ago

Mudryk and MJ make up for it.

jacktodd.bsky.social•89 days ago

Mmmm. I'll go along with MJ.

evaine.bsky.social•90 days ago

I NEVER wish for Garry Galley. Unless it's for him to shut up and disappear! *LOL*

I’m used to #SN sticking Hab fans with Gary Gally, on purpose, but, #TSN sticking us with a #Leaf homer like Coliacolo (sp) is another slap in the face from TO centered sports media! They couldn’t find one ex-Hab? Not one!? #GHG

jacktodd.bsky.social•89 days ago

Their first rule when hiring colour analysts: must have played for Toronto and/or Boston.

roberttroyross.bsky.social•89 days ago

I guess I’m lucky 🍀 to be watching this on #NHLNetwork.

Both Sports networks too! 👍

whitelakehabfan.bsky.social•89 days ago

Wondering the same thing.
Are there no former Habs available for color?

saintpaddy.bsky.social•89 days ago

I recall his first day working the Habs broadcast when we were lucky enough to have Tessa hosting and she told him live on air (he was working from home), "You're doing the Habs game, you might want to lose the leafs sweater hanging up behind you."

jacktodd.bsky.social•89 days ago

Ha!
