Yep, you know the haters are on suicide watch when they've clearly moved on from the "plan the parade" comments to things like "have they retired his number yet" or "yea but they won't go far in the playoffs" lmfao.
damn i kinda disagree i love paul romanuk! My favourite commentator right now. I associate Bowen with struggling pre-rebuild leafs so I'm glad to hear fresh voices
I like Paul Romanuk as well- Saw him at my clinic before he moved to England. Nice guy. However, Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph ARE the Leafs. They are the current Bob Cole and Harry Neale for HNIC yet, the idiots running the CBC are oblivious to this. One day-Hopefully! Still love Bob Cole too. It's just time for Bowen and Ralph to be the guys on HNIC. They do, and will do, the Maple Leafs journey to their next cup, better than anyone else! Wake the hell up CBC.
Holy mackinaw was my child hood playing on the streets with friends and something awesome would happen and I would yell out Holy mackinaw love Joe Bowan
The little Sportsnet-Rogers-fan590 Cabal dont like him. Hes to positive for the leaf hating, constant whine gang they have over there. BOWENS THE BEST announcer period,,,,,and they keep him down. Shameful.
I'm a Canucks fan but actually like the Leafs unlike a lot of people out here in BC. I watch a lot of Leaf games since my dad is a Leafs fan. This video gave me and should give any hockey fan chills. Joe Bowen is one of the best. Reminds me of Rick Jeanneret when it comes to the passion he has for the team he broadcasts for. Both of them are favorites of mine. Joe should be on TV again. The games are so much better when he's involved. Can't wait for next season to start!
Having him on TV would save me from having to sync up my TV with my radio for every game since I can no longer stand any of the TV commentators anymore.
Bring back Bowen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how he's lost for words by Matthews' 3rd + 4th goals. His calls are the same for both ("Do u believe this/Holy Mackinaw") and he laughs in amusement after the 4th
I really dislike what the NHL product has become since Rogers bought the rights. I'm not sure how to explain it but all of their telecasts feel so cold and unwelcoming. So many analyst chirping and giving us their opinions like we're suppose to care. It's too much for me...
I love Joe Bowen. I sent him $3 in a letter a year ago. Just because he said it in a broadcast. Love this man. Work on that cup speech catch line. It will will live in infamy forever soon.
Leafs should fire the idiots they had all season. Especially the insult that was leafs commentary during this years playoffs and bring Bowen back. At least he's a true Leafs fan
We need a proper commentator like this back. I'm tired of the terrible new Rogers people who can't even remember the names of players. I can recall about 5 times they said "John Van Riemsdyk" as if it was the actual thing.
