It sounded like he'd had enough of all the novice crap his English colleague was churning out, and he'd left the commentary box and gone to the bar.

For all I know it was probably the Englishman's first week describing hockey games.

If they use him for the final it will be a disaster.

A shame that the Englishman's first week describing hockey games was also his last.

No, I think his 'hockey commentary career' will last a whole two weeks.

Not really. The second week he will be spending in the local pubs, drowning his sorrows with copious amounts of Guiness. "Me mum will be so disappointed that I got punted after one lousy game!".
