And wow...usually people are kissing Jim Hughson's ass...don't usually hear someone say he is the worst in the history of sports.
I think he's ok...certainly nothing outstanding.
I assume he said something you didn't like during the Hawks-Canucks finals a couple years ago?
I know he rubbed me the wrong way when the Blues played the Canucks in the first round a few years ago.
The playoff series' of the past 3 years certainly haven't helped, but my dislike for Houghson goes back 10+ years. I mean I have no problem with a local broadcaster being a little homer-ish...you should favor the team that's paying you on a
local broadcast. My problems with Houghson and Shorthouse are that they take homerism to a new level. You'd think Alex Burrows was a Lady Byng finalist every year and everyone else is just being mean to him. He also needs to get off of high horse with the whole Canada/USA thing.
In short, I feel like those guys are a perfect match for the Canucks fan base.
