“Tyler Myers is my guy... I was taking to Scotty Bowman last night and he was bringing up his name, and saying he’s a big guy and big guy need big minutes to play, he is playing great for ya… and I agree with him… He’s been exceptional” - Bruce Boudreau
Can't wait until one of the irregulars who posts here once every 2 or 3 months throw a tantrum about not coming to CC in the off-season to read this off-topic crap. Ironic derailment.

There are times, like now, when "some", have an unfair advantage because of the airtight contract between the NHL & Sportsnet
in regards to current events and cool stuff.
Damn frustrating this protectionism.
The biggest issue with media is that it is now 24/7, does not matter if it is sports station, news station or traffic, all are 24/7. The problem is that there is not enough going on to warrant that.
Now sportscasters try to be different, instead of reporting the news and doing investigations they feel how they deliver is part of the show. Don’t get me wrong I do not want robots to deliver the news, but I do not want shock jock wanttobes doing the news as well where they spend 60 minutes discussing the type of blade a player uses.
On 650 yesterday, Auld (Colour guy I think) said the Canucks had more options so it will generate more scoring chances. No shit Sherlock, tell us something we don’t know, he must feel he needs to talk every minute or 2 and add something insightful so he is doing his job.
Look at some of the news sites, why are the Kardashians even news? Holy hell in a hand basket, has society sunk that low that these “things” are news worthy? You can compare that to Toronto Sports Network and reporting every fart and nose blowing of the Laughs. Then in Vancouver all the chat about a fringe player and will they make the team when everyone knows they won’t. I guess it is all about having something new for people to read vs. just the important stuff.

I agree...
My pet peeve is that with all of the sports media in Vancouver most are lazy or don't have the financial backing from their employers to get out and dig into stories....
Like why hasn't anyone gone to Russia to sit down with Tryamkin for an extensive interview?
Or, for as much as the media likes to criticize the Nucks management/ownership for being late to admit it needs a full rebuild how many of those same media personalities know much about the kids in the organization?...
The fact that the organization is now considered to have the second best group of prospects caught many of our local media by surprise, how is that possible with so many of them covering the team?

Where's McKeachie when we need him?
Take care...
You both make good points.
It's a real cluster ---- !
I honestly do not think Sportsnet has really saved much by shutting down the regional TV studios and coinciding broadcasting.
Never thought I would miss it as much as I do.
Reruns of the TO bunch all night and all the next day until an actual event is on.
I won't even mention the name of that day-time regurgitation they call a talk show.

Amen brother, amen.
Instead of spending so much money on stupid looking suits and hair gel they actually get on a plane and do their job.
