Lol ya Mavs Gillis. I love his passion but he's not a play by play guy. We were pretty spoiled with Dan the last 10 years. He's a great play by play guy. He deserved a shot in the pros years ago.
I don't think Eastlink really had a chance to find a proper replacement tbh. I get the impression Dan getting the Habs radio gig happened rather quick, and so they had no choice but to replace him with in house guys. I could be wrong, but the fact they're using Ryan Hillier as the color guy, who's out for the year from SMU with hip surgery, tells me they had to throw something together fast.
You have to admit, doing play by play would not be an easy gig. Mavs said in the first game, it was his first time ever doing play by play, so prob can cut him some slack lol. He's more of an intermission/personality guy for Eastlink, not a true play by play guy.
Don't be surprised if they don't find someone else tho. Eastlink isn't going to spend big bucks on a hockey play by play guy to do 1 game a week. And who in that business, with any experience and resume, would look for that type of job? So may as well get use to Mavs.

Well from what i have heard they did interviews for the position. It was posted a while back on the Eastlink site and a few other Job sites. Your right you need someone who knows the game. Dan was the best and hope he has a nice long career there with the Habs.
I know someone who has experience in the league who was interviewed and as of now he is still waiting to hear word on it...
Hopefully now that they will have a bit of time with the AUS football being done they can make a decision and find a solid replacement.
