The fight itself was pretty entertaining with the regular Sportsnet TV broadcast team, but it pales in comparison to how exciting it was with the legendary Joe Bowen's radio play-by-play commentary. Check this one out with Bowen calling the scrap.
It seems wild to me that, after all of these years, Bowen is still doing radio calls and is not on the TV broadcast. The fanbase adores him and he can still draw excitement out of a volatile fanbase like no other.
Shoutout to LeafsJellyHD over at Maple Leafs Hot Stove for his incredible work with these radio play calls layered over the Sportsnet video feeds.
