Morley Scott close to becoming Giants' PBP man

[Terry]

I saw a comment on the WHL message board ( www.network54.com/Forum/40684 ) about Morley. I hadn't heard anything about him since he got canned from the Oilers broadcasts a year ago. I also didn't know that he had done some of the Calder Cup games for Shaw a few weeks ago.

SCENE & HEARD: Morley Scott's play-by-play of the Calder Cup championship series on Shaw TV was enough to convince Vancouver Giants' owner Ron Toigo that Scott should be part of his hockey family. They haven't struck a deal yet but to hear Toigo talk Friday, it's a short list of one. Scott worked for 16 years as colour commentator with the Edmonton Oilers alongside legendary play-caller Rod Phillips. Before the 2008-09 NHL season, Scott was replaced by Edmonton native Bob Stauffer, a University of Alberta grad who did the hockey and football Golden Bears play-by-play over a span of 13 seasons. Insiders say Oilers' owner Daryl Katz personally orchestrated the move. Scott's work on Shaw during the Hershey Bears-Manitoba Moose AHL final inspired Toigo to pursue him.

Vanco uver?

I don't really have anything to say about this topic, but I felt the need to comment on that because with Juice being gone, I don't have many tyops to make fun of.

I don't know why it did that. I tried retyping it and still got that gap.

Strange. I quoted it and it says it's all one word. Silly proboards.

I saw Morely on a TSN rerun of some international junior game at 2am last week. I still don't know what happened to him here. Just a no contract renewal thing I'm assuming.
