Willy is on CFMI on the mornings. No idea where Larry is.

I always found Willy far more annoying than Larry.

No they were good through the 90s, then the shtick wore off. They booked a 4some for the leaves in the 94 playoffs for Fat Burns, Wendy Clark and a couple other bozos from the leaves.

Willy is just such a self promoter that I can’t stand him now. He thinks best he’s the funniest man alive constantly cackling at his own jokes.

I remember hearing ole Howie Meeker lament: "You just cant win if you dont get the cotton picking puck into the net." (so simple, yet so true) Amen Howie, RIP.
Wait...stop right there....howies dead?

Shit, my apologies to all things and people Meeker-related. I jumped the gun when i stated "RIP Howie" - a simple google check would have set me straight. Howie's 94 and still has a beating heart. Keep er goin Howie!!

Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean are leaving Sportsnet

wow Kypper has been with sportsnet for 20 years!?
10 years for Doug MacLean.

“After much consideration, Sportsnet and I have decided to part ways,” the 53-year-old Kypreos said in a statement posted on his personal Twitter account.

Also leaving Sportsnet is Doug MacLean, a former NHL coach who had been working with them as a studio analyst for the past decade.

“After covering the greatest game in the world for the past 10 years I won’t be returning to Sportsnet,” MacLean said on Twitter. “Thanks to all hockey fans for your great support. To my colleagues, especially [Nick Kypreos,] thanks for the help and friendships.”

There’s been no shortage of longtime sportscasters leaving Sportsnet recently, with anchor Daren Millard and play-by-play man Paul Romanuk each parting ways with the company last year.

Rogers is set to begin the sixth year of their record-breaking 12-year, $5.232 billion NHL national rights deal when the puck drops on the 2019-20 season on October 2.

Kypper was moronic for his first decade plus... PCS?

But I'll give him credit, he worked hard and got better and better.

I actually liked him over the last year or so.

He was the only one on Sportsnet with the nads to call a Leaves spade a spade.
