He was one of the few authoritative voices in his (and TSN's) hockey telecast heyday. The thing I appreciated about him is that he wasn't a shameless Toronto-shill. His successors in the industry in Canada have devolved into cheerleading for whoever the company wants to promote.

He was a good one.

Also Bob was never one to purposely confuse personal speculation with insider information

... unlike most of them today.

A class act.

And now, an update on the polar opposite of Bob McKenzie.

Blake Price is absolutely triggered by Demko having not made himself available to the local media for an interview after signing his contract. Absolutely love this and hope the players continue giving the likes of Price the finger. They need a good bitch slapping, nothing but Karen’s, the whole lot of them.

lol.

I was reading some of his comments especially the one were Demko said he would have signed a 20 year deal if he could have. And he yaps ya well it might take 20 years for him to give an interview. lol

But Demko did do a TSN interview and that is national so sucked up . F’ing media.

HW not sure if you are aware but Vancouvers media is the fucking worse, it’s as bad if not worse than the Toronto media. I only give Halford and Brough a pass and maybe Satiar Shah a pass and that’s about it, the rest of them absolutely suck, a bunch of babies. Unfortunately Botchford created the new breed, the mentality, he was the king of the new goofs we see littering the waves. It’s going to take a couple decades to get rid of them.

I get a kick out of Don Taylor and old Yeller Dhaliwal as well. The yelling thing is a bit of a schtick I think but he mixes in moments of coherent speak between Tourette's style yelling fits at least

Speaking of what the fuck....

Anyone else get the big bowl of cock soup (no broth....and no spoon) from Sportsnet about the renewal charge going up $75?

What the fuck!

On a completely unrelated topic, wwhat's this IPTV anyway?

In the past I was considering getting Sportsnet+ for the Canuck games and European club rugby but glad I didn't bother with this price hike.

I used to get feeds on Reddit but it was always a pain. Plus you'd be inundated with porn links. I could explain to the wife, but the kids? I'll pay the $30 x 10 months.

When you're out of province you need the plus which will be either $43/mo or $325/yr up from 250 which was recently up from 200.

When will it end Horsey????

We have to take a stand against corporate aggression man

I'm sure Megaman can hook you up

The porn will just be a bonus!

Every dark cloud has a silver lining

I'm paying US$30 a month for Disney, Hulu and ESPN+ (all non-Av Canucks games). Worth it for me, Family Guy is on Hulu, Marvel is on Disney.

Are these price increases for Sportsnet tied to new contracts they sign with the league, or just price gouging?
