For how much Sekeres irritates me his show is probably the best 1040 has now mainly cause his partner provides a good ying yang for that slot. Pratt is saving the morning shot combined with Jake reeling it in. The guys I can't stand are B Mac and Taylor, moron fence sitters lacking hard opinions. Get rid of them!
Not so sure about that. I adjusted from originally liking the fact we acquired Erik Gudbranson. Once I saw him play on a regular basis I was appalled at how poor of a player he was and came to the conclusion that was a horrendous trade. That is called adjusting. Same with the Sutter trade. You on the other hand think both of those trades were excellent and refuse to adjust.

Gudbranson had a few short blips of decent play in Vancouver too. Mostly though he was terrible. Go back and look at his ice time in Pittsburgh over the last eight or ten regular season games and into the playoffs. He was down around 15 min per game once they got a larger view of his attributes.rikster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 7:38 amEveryone sees things differently...Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 7:11 amNot so sure about that.

As for Jason and Brough blaming Sportsnet for the Myers bogus rumors, another example of two hosts of a prime time sports talk show in a major market who aren't dialed into the league and havent got their own inside sources to bounce the rumor off...
As for Pratt, have always been a fan and miss him on the radio....I'm also a fan of Walker and if it were up to me I'd put the two together and give them their own show on prime time and maybe give the show an extra hour....
As for Sekeres, I enjoyed his show when he first arrived but not sure what happened to him...
Think he has a bloated ego and maybe a pink slip will bring him back to earth....His daily rant on the loss of Frankie Corado to the Leaves was gold bordering on loonie tunes and to listen to him almost straight arm guests to agree with him was embarrassing...
Take care...

A few #Canucks notes on Day 3 of free agency:
— Tanev is still available. Think team wants to move some $ to pursue that top-6 W with several candidates still unsigned. Perhaps return a cheaper D.
— Sutter is available but coming off terrible season might have to recoup value

That's hilarious!RoyalDude wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 6:32 pm My email to Halford and Brough this morning
“Who’s the idiot source who started the rumour that the Canucks and Myers were talking an $8 Million per year 6 year contract that had all you 1040 Benning Haters in a tizzy last week? Shameful journalism. Amateurs with terrible sources.”
They responded with - “Sportsnet”

Posters like Dude don’t want anything negative reported. They prefer people to be on board with every single move good or bad. No criticism whatsoever and they want the media and the fan base to be Benning cheerleaders.
