Many Edmonton Oilers fans were rooting for hometown hero Jack Michaels to take the mic for the playoff games, but Sportsnet had different plans. Once again, Harnarayan Singh will be calling the shots for Oilers playoff games this year.

If you've tuned into regional Oilers games, you've likely heard Jack Michaels. His commentary is packed with hometown pride and a burning desire to see the team triumph. Fans love his enthusiasm, and many have campaigned to get him behind the mic for the playoffs.





However, Sportsnet has stuck to their guns, opting for the more neutral approach of Harnarayan Singh's broadcasts. While they argue it appeals to a national audience, Oilers fans feel the connection with Michaels is unmatched. His passion is palpable, even for those not sporting the blue and organge.

It's a tough blow for loyal fans who live and breathe every moment of Oilers action. They know Michaels would bring a level of excitement to the playoffs.

But at least, Jack Micheals will be on the radio and as he said, fans can sync up the audios. So atleast Oilers nation can cheer on their team with Micheal's commentary echoing in their ears. If that't not enough, Singh isn't a bad option either.
