Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Even though 1040 is filled with anti-Benning bitchers, Halford and Brough is a good show, don’t mind Sekeres and Price (Price is an idiot but he gets a hall pass) and Pratt keeps the morning show alive. 650 still needs some work

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Halford and Brough are the best show going IMO, but I have to switch it off whenever they bring that wiener Botchford on. I have zero interest in that guy's opinion.
On the plus side, since Botchford left the Province, I can actually read that paper again!

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Botchford would be fine if he’d drop the angry yelling and TMZ act. He’s a legend in his own mind.
Halford and Brough are easily the best on that station.

Can't stand him. He comes across like he wants to be bigger than the players. Huge ego on him.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:39 am Botchford would be fine if he’d drop the angry yelling and TMZ act. He’s a legend in his own mind.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Haven’t heard or seen him in years, but I admit his columns are entertaining and far more insider without being a shill like iMac and Kuzma. Kuzma I can take in that he doesn’t go absolutely overboard.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:39 am Botchford would be fine if he’d drop the angry yelling and TMZ act.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Years ago, Botchford had the coveted position of "The Guy" who flew and rode buses with the team. No doubt plenty of Hotel lobby chat as well.
From what I understand, he eventually pissed off Kevin, one too many times. I think hiss career has been on a downturn ever since.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
I don't recall Botchford ever cooking up a rumour that was corroborated by anybody or turned out to be true. I've always figured he's as "insider" as Garrioch, and tries to make himself part of the story.

I don't know anything about any of these clowns except the floppy-shoed Pratt, and only because he used to post here.

OK, I've been wondering this for years - is this true? The real, big-fat David Pratt was posting here under his own name?Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 2:56 pm

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
I don’t think so. But he was a guy that worked for the TEAM back in the day.
