Are you offended by it? I have some East Indian friends and even they think the Dude is funny. Uncle Laleet.

It’s probably Rummy.

He’s a far better calmer than that rage case Mike, or Mapke Leaf Dave or Hardy from the Whack. Or Johnny from the Pizzaria

I'm old school when it comes to journalists/broadcasters. I expect a level of integrity, and having him on kills that. He's on air for entertainment purposes only.

If the guy were to use his real voice and they called him Laleet instead of "uncle" it would be bearable.

I found it funny at first, but now it's annoying. Not offended by it, I'm sure the guy is Indian, but the accent is definitely faked.

How old are your Indian friends? I'm in my mid 40s, maybe the youngsters find that shit funny. I'm also one of the whitest brown guys you'll ever meet, some of my brown friends call me "Chad" ... maybe that has something to do with it.

Is there any chance that maybe, just maybe, Laleet is actually Sat's uncle? Cuz they kind of bicker like they've been through it a few times round the dinner table over the years

Does anyone understand the point to this other than a possible gripe from a Linden/Gillis loyalist.

https://vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/ ... 9d2a26d347

Under Gillis there were associate GM's and Directors under every Garage seat. How many are still on the payroll, not to be in Vancouver? Sleep consultants, travel consultants, was there a skate lacing psychologist? It rivalled the current bloat in Toronto.

Glad you brought this up, the 1040 morons are obsessed with analytics and a hired gun for everything imagine-able - sleep doctors, acupuncturist, homeopathic doctors, erectile dysfunction doctors, poop doctors, guru’s, mentors, massage therapist, foot doctors, financial advisors, press agents, make up artists, tailors......

First of all comparing us to the leaves deep pockets to having someone for everthing is like comparing the Brewers bank account to the Yankees

Gillis was on Sekeres and Price again this week, the 1040 love in for Gillis is pathetic, had to listen to Gillis going on about how he’s cracking code on the secrets to the Universe by studying football teams like Barcelona on why they keep winning. I will save you the time Mike, it’s called - money or deep pockets. He’s such a pompous douche, again had to listen Mr. 7 Years No Workie in the NHL go on about his amazing integrating of sleep doctors etc. Oh my gerd! Eureka! I tell what, a team scientists in Geneva need to study Mikes brain when he dies to figure out how the fuck he is so far ahead of the curve

Botchford (Gillis loyalist) went on and on this week about the leaves throwing $50 Million this summer to improving their already bloated analytics department as some kind of slight against Benning’s stupidity for not taking analytics seriously? This is Bennings decision? To throw money at this or the owners decision, like in Toronto? Bennings Fault! Always Benning fault!

Ya, we all thought it was funny when Pratt and his bos got axed. Now it becomes clear why.
He wasn't going to go along with all the HF shit.
Just when 1040 was getting better than 650, they take a turn like this. It's fucking weird. And pathetically obvious.
It's too bad cause they were starting to get Canuck players and staff on their show again.
I'm betting Sportsnet threw down the hammer on the "we have the contract" thing and
this trolling is the result.
How professional F/O

Yeah it’s beyond obvious, as soon as they lost the contract, the guns came out, unfortunately for Benning he is on most of the receiving end of their assault. Hats off to Moj and Taylor for holding the line on objectivity. What it’s done, the lost contract, is separated the classy from the amateur hour brats at 1040

Botchford is a regular on 1040.

Enough said to stop listening.

My take on these consultants is that it may be something to look at, but hired as consultants to do a short study on a limited contract. Not to be made employees with VP titles.

This transformation to a leaner front office has been obvious from the beginning of Benning's tenure. Why is it now an issue amongst his detractors? Is it because they see the new on ice talent and prospect pool now coming into focus and need to redirect their vitriol?

I saw the clowns at hfboards crowing about how they'd made #firebenning "trend" on Twitter.

Made me think, the clowns at 1040 saw that and thought this was a Big Issue that would drive ratings, not realizing that it's 20 or so trolls from hfboards who made it trend.
