Sportsnet (along with CBC) have announced the broadcast teams that will be calling their playoff series. Unfortunately for Habs fans, Paul Romanuk and Garry Galley have gotten the nod for the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers series. Now, Paul Romanuk isn't fantastic; he is a little too over the top (yelling "LARCENY" when a save is made). Romanuk is somebody we can live with. The real problem here is Garry Galley.
Galley was born in Greenfield Park but was raised in Ottawa. He covered the Senators in the late 90s and early 2000s when they used to be exclusively on Sportsnet. Throughout the last 5 years, Galley has irritated Habs fans. He seems to go on an anti-Habs tirade every time he calls a game.
Jack Todd from the Montreal Gazette has noticed Galley's anti-Habs broadcasting and has written about it in his column. Galley played with the Bruins, therefore, calling the Boston-Ottawa series would make perfect sense. We have waited 2 years to see our Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and don't want to get irritated during the game with Galley's cheap shots. We ask that you please sign this petition to get Greg Millen to call this series along Paul Romanuk.

The momentum behind this is incredible and it proves that I am not the only one frustrated by the biased commentary we have been forced to listen to. Watching this pick up speed confirms that we deserve a fair broadcast for our team.

He's horrible and makes so many mistakes naming players and following the play.People are watching their TV's muted and listening to the audio on TSN 690 radio.
There are so many Habs broadcasters that know hockey and respect the franchise. Btw Ryder hasn’t played for us in years.
This guy is an anti hab announcer and should be removed. He's almost in Milbury class. Ex Bruins have to go.
I have seen some bad broadcasters over my 50 years as a hockey fan but never like Galley. He is genuinely not a fair broadcaster. He is anti-Canadiens and yet they still have him broadcasting the Montreal games. Enough already!
Gally and Romanuk are so biased against the Habs, they should through their ass to the curb. When Montreal played Pitsburg I thought Gally was going to have an orgasm the way he was saying how good Pitsburg was. They have been disrespectful of the Montreal Canadiens all year. You have my vote to kick them out and get some new commentators for the Habs next year.
Does Gary Galley ever shut up????
He is a hab hater and should not do Hans broadcasts , it's blatantly obvious!!!

Time for Gary Galley to get over the fact that the Canadiens always beat up on him and his Bruins, lousy color man, too negative and repetitive
