Rod, do you know if it's just the home team play by play that Sirius picks up for broadcast. If I knew it was CKRM all the time I would be really tempted to subscribe to Sirius.
Thanks Todd
Nice to Morley pick back up after the horrible decision last summer to replace him with the Bob on Oilers 630 CHED broadcasts....
Morley was parachuted in to do the Calder Cup Finals for local cable here in Winnipeg.
Morley was parachuted in for several gigs last hockey season including several stints on TSN (Telus Cup, Royal Bank Cup, etc)...but not unusual for someone of his quality to get work....
Awesome news!
I thought he had great chemistry with Rod Phillips back when they did the Oilers and thought for sure he'd replace Roddy once he retired.
Evidently they decided to go in a different direction with Bob Stauffer.
Glad to see Morley back on his feet - the Giants are lucky to have such a great professional in their organization.
