The new announcer
I don’t know about the rest of you but I have to say the new announcer isn’t too bad but he could use some work. Granted he’s probably still getting comfortable taking over for the last announcer – if anyone knows who that was I would love to find out Bruce Barker, currently announcing for the Toronto Rock – but that’s to be expected.
One thing I do have against the guy is his attempts at getting some chants going. Sure, he’s new but he should at least get the chants correct before starting them. I can also understand his need to be different, to set himself apart from previous announcers but seriously. Come. On. Here.
The chant is simple and it goes a little something like this, “Go! ‘Necks! Go!” It’s not “Go! Roughnecks! Go!” there’s just no rhythm in that. Our new announcer, we’ll call him Gary until I find out his real name, Beesley has also started an entirely new chant. It goes something like, “When I say ‘How do we like it?’ you say ‘Rough’ ready…” but I just can’t get into that one. Maybe I’m just being a stick in the mudd. What do you think?
The new announcer is Beesley of Jack FM radio.
I am in total agreement about needing to learn the chants… and knowing when to keep his mouth shut!!!
The old announcers name was Bruce (I think) and he is the announcer for the Flames.
