Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
I appear to be an absolute minority here - I find Botchford to be insightful. I can see how he would piss off the JB 'knob-gobblers' though. Botch isnt afraid to straight shoot and he has a zany sense of humour.

The only thing is: Sportsnet 650am is "The company station", and sometimes it gets sickening. Not enough controversy.

I'm with you Nuckster. Botch is a bit whiny but I find I agree with him on most Canuck issues.nuckster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:57 am I appear to be an absolute minority here - I find Botchford to be insightful.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
You’re not alone. Botch can get a little full of himself, but I like his writing style and appreciate that just because he will hack on the regime for what he feels are mistakes and praise them when they don’t doesn’t make him a flip-flopper per se. I’ll take him over company man MacIntyre.nuckster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:57 am I appear to be an absolute minority here - I find Botchford to be insightful.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Totally agree with the above. I think the thing I hate about Botchford is the TMZ act and fake shouting and screaming.
Nothing wrong with taking management to task. God knows they deserve it.

It's why I just stick to reading, vice listening to him. His on-microphone/camera act can drive me up the wall.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:59 am I think the thing I hate about Botchford is the TMZ act and fake shouting and screaming.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Crotchford is a maple leaves fan, his takes are bordering on handicapped, how anybody can take his opinion seriously is beyond me. I’m gonna love it when guddy turns into a top 4 guy in Pittsburgh and that idiot is wrong about him.

Letang and Schultz are ahead of him as RH shots. Letang has been hurt which is why Gudbranson is playing more. When they get healthy he will battle JJ for icetime
He’s had a nice little run like he did here a handful of times and then crashed back to Earth. He is a bottom pairing guy good for 14-15 minutes. Wow, a good team is carrying a shitty player, imagine that

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Yeah he gets pretty animated around certain canuck deficiencies like Erikson, and trading away picks, and odd mgt decisions; and i guess the yelling thing is just part of his schtick.There's been a couple times when he and Patterson (i think that's his name) have alluded to the pre-on-air " puffs" Botch will have - I find that kind of funny. I dont think i could ever do that, pretty sure i would sound more like a version of Cheech an Chong and or i would forget my thought half way through a sentence.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:59 am Totally agree with the above.

LISTEN @JDylanBurke: #Canucks overall lack of prospect depth is result of five years of trading away picks

Just reporting, not agreeing.....Many holes in his analysis. A real blowhard.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Botch provides good info every now and then but has become a bit more lazy. He does sound like an idiot when you listen to him more often than not though. Overall, I think I'd rather read his twitter feed.nuckster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:57 am I appear to be an absolute minority here - I find Botchford to be insightful.

Big Fat David Pratt is as big a tool and troll as our own resident village idiot, Blob McKenzie. Pratt must have mental health issues. I can now tune into 1040 morning show again. Sweet!
