'Terrible decision': Oilers fans rage against Sportsnet changing out Michaels/Debrusk for Western final
This in from Sportsnet, news that the regular Edmonton Oilers broadcast crew of play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels and game analyst Louie Debrusk will not call the Dallas-Edmonton series, with the network instead going with Chris Cuthbert and Craig Simpson, who did the Leafs-Panthers series. The reaction online in Edmonton was immediate and angry: Oilers fan alicia ^^^ 😆 @leashadawg don't forget to pray to the hockey gods for jack michaels and louie debrusk to call round 3 🙏 This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Whether they get ex-CBC Edmonton. Sportscaster Chris Cuthbert and Oiler Stanley Cup era Craig Simpson or current crew of Jack Michaels, Lou Debrusk and. Gene Principe calling games. Hockey fan Adam Williams @AdamScottWilly Not to take anything away from these broadcasters, but Jack Michaels and Debrusk are the voice of the Oilers. It's really unfortunate and disappointing the fans won't get to hear their call and passion! Disappointed fan here! Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels @EdmontonJack Appreciate the kind words from everyone watching on Sportsnet all year—and please continue as Gene nPrincipe has the West Final alongside CC & Simmer.

Oilers fan DougieDman @OilDoug So you take away the Oilers play by play team for the Leafs play by play team? Really? You don't care what Oiler fans want. Hockey fan Jim Roy @GutshotJimmy SportsNet, DeBrusk and Michaels are obviously the favourites of Oilers fans. The only reason you get to cover this game is due to bribes basically. Pander to Toronto as usual and continue to be awful. Edmonton hockey blogger Jackie Bondurant x-JB 🇨🇦 @JackieBee_16 BOOOOOOOO!!! … You really screwed the pooch on this one Sportsnet Hockey fan Sunny 🏴 @Takhar77 Oilers fans get Jack Michaels pouring his heart out every single shift. Leafs fans get Craig Simpson lobbying for suspensions. Hockey commentator Nathan 'Grav' Murdock @NathanGraviteh Jack Michaels is becoming my GOAT of hockey commentators as the years go by. Dude has me locked onto the screen for every shot attempt. The passion is intoxicating. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Leafs fan Darcy Armstrong @DArm91 Oilers whining. Consider yourselves lucky you even got Jack Michael's your homer commentator for 2 rounds let alone even 1 this year. Kamloops hockey radio host Jon Keen @JonKeenNLSports The National audience finally got a significant taste of Jack Michaels in the playoffs and he did this thing. Hopefully it leads to more down the road. Oilers/Stars will get the #1 booth team of Cuthbert/Simpson. Oilers fan TheOilersHankHill @HankOilers Was hoping you would continue on TV. We are spoiled here in Oil country with you calling our games, it was nice to see you get the attention from around the league. I'll definitely sync with you and Bob. Go Oil Oilers fan Joe Bart @bartman4444 That is brutal news, wanted you guys the whole way to the cup. You guys deserve it! Best in the business! Oilers fan Wayne Nelson 🏒 🇨🇦 @nelsonaw78 I am saddened that you won't be calling round 3. To be able to bring extra energy into a playoff game that is already bubbling over with it is a talent very few play by play people have. Keep up the phenomenal work, I know 880 ched will be blaring loudly across Alberta. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Oilers fan Trent Wilhauk @TheMrWilhauk Thanks Sportsnet …. You blew it again….. In case you have not noticed, nobody wants these two…. Oilers fans want Jack & Louie….. not the Toronto homers …. Terrible decision Hockey commentator Tough Call Podcast🎙️ 🇨🇦 @ToughCallPod How can anyone have heard Jack and Louie through two Oilers playoff rounds and still think it would be a good idea to shut them down? Oilers fan Sbb @Stevenbradleyb You've been great Jack! Look forward to tuning in to ched to listen ! Oilers fan Justin Sinkevich @Gphumanbeing I will be using Sportsnet to see Gene then but will have every other second MUTED and synced to CHED. Oilers fan Mike D. @boarderman8 Worst decision they could've made. If the leafs didn't suck so damn much then we could have good broadcasters for the playoffs. Now we're stuck with two old guys who haven't watched any Oilers hockey all year. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Ace @ashwetz Sportsnet doesn't care about Edmonton subscribers. I hate this monopoly Oilers fan Z @ZZibby07 Jack and Louie are the voice of the Oilers Sportsnet. With all due respect, Chris and Craig should stay in their lane and step aside. Every year when their team gets knocked out they take over for someone else's team. Can you see how people perceive this decision? Oilers fan Breakin' Boomsie! 🇨🇦⚡️🚘🚁 🛫🏍️🏒 @BreakinBoomsie You guys are terrible at reading the PR room. Oilers fan ForgotAboutDrai™ @ShawnMichaud Can't get more out of touch with the community, shame on you sportsnet. Oilers fan Scott Kaufmann @ScottKaufmann7 Booooooo! We want Lou and Jack!!!!! Oilers fan Trent Ferguson 🍎 @tfer68 This is bullsh*t. We get punished, because the Leafs suck. Oilers fan kris hall @krishall03 Can we please have Jack and Louie continue with the Oilers. This needs to be looked at moving forward Oilers fan Ryan @ryankellytv Cuthbert and Simpson are boring. Jack and Lou are what is needed. Quit holding onto dinosaur broadcasters. Give what the people want. Not what Toronto wants. One Dad @OneDadsFinance I can't believe we are getting the Toronto broadcast. Sucks Oilers fan Justin Sinkevich @Gphumanbeing F*ck you Sportsnet. More to come… Politics Cult of Hockey Cult of Hockey Sports Politics
