Still the same old Tommy 😂 Glad to see he’s doing so well at his age.
Love Tommy Larscheid content – He should be on each month!!!!!
This interview was too short!!!
He is a legend ! Glad to see him again !
Good to hear Tommy again. He and Jim Robson helped me get into hockey in the 90s. I had an abusive father who wouldn't let me watch games on TV, but my mom gave me a little radio tape deck that I kept under my pillow and I'd listen to the games at night. My dad thought I was falling in line because I was always in bed at 7 o'clock in my teens, not knowing that I was listening to the games. I taped some of them and I remember when the battery started to die, Jim's voice would get really deep. 🤣I wasn't a huge fan of the catchphrases that developed in the later years, because in the first years I started listening between 1990 and 1997he was always on point with his commentary. The times where he went on script were the best. Calling BS on a play, I believe during that '94 run, was so memorable. I was frustrated when they made him apologize for being himself. Because with all the truly horrible things going on the world, a "bad word" was something worth apologizing for. Tom was irreplaceable. So many colour guys now are either such homers that they can't look at a game objectively at all or they're so corporate that they're boring to listen to. Tommy was a homer that was honest. If the Canucks did something wrong or the other team made a great play, he'd always acknowledge it. I remember listening to the end of Game 7 in 1994 and being crushed. Jim and Tom tried to give me faint hope that the Canucks could come back in the dying minutes, but it wasn't to be. The refs screwed the Canucks early on. One post away. 2011 can't ever compare to 1994. In '94, especially after Game 6, I actually thought they had a chance. By 2011, even when they were up 3-2, I knew they were capable of having a horrible defensive game against Boston. But Tom Larscheid was a part of my childhood and the most passionate colour guy I've ever heard – in 2 major sports. He was also terrific at his first love, as a CFL colour guy. I don't think too many people now know that he was a running back for the BC Lions.

Hey, Tommy. The sleazy Vancouver Canuck organization does NOT deserve your loyalty. They are shysters.
Sharp as a tack. Luv'd listening to Tommy and Shorty. Then, Michael D. "Fathead" Gillis fired him for speaking semi-critically of the Canucks. The only thing bigger than Gillis' fat head was his ego.
Thanks for having us as listeners Tom! And thanks for picking up the baton Sekeres & Price. I hope u can bring Mr. Larscheid back again soon!
excellent guest to have on!
man is it nice ot hear his voice again. what a gem!
I got to meet Tom in the broadcast booth in 2006. I felt bad because Shorthouse was smiling and ready to talk and I just focused on Tom until Shorty walked away. I always loved Larscheid. He's the same guy in person as you always see and hear.
Hey guys, would there be any chance you could get Shorty & Tom to do an interview like this? that would be absolute magic. All time segment kind of magic!
Oh I missed the sound of Tommy’s voice . The voice of my childhood right there
Glad to hear/see Tommy is doing alright… anyone else for ring of honour?
He was a retired football player with no hockey background. Mostly, he was a cheerleader.
Great interview. Tom's memory of Gino's debut is off though. It was not a Sunday afternoon, it was a week night and Gino did not wail on Dave Manson. He fell down without landing a single punch in a 12 second tilt.
Awesome hearing tommy again what a legend
West Coast? What the?
