Disgraced Hockey Broadcaster/Podcaster Jeff Marek is back from the ashes...

[Ianturnedbull]

I was hoping he would leave and find his true calling: figure skating/dressage. That wish has been dashed sadly.

In the meantime I'm going to avoid anything he does or any guest appearance he makes. Do you blame me? Last November he was speculating that TOR and CGY would once again have a 10 player trade similar to the Gilmour/Leeman one (lol).

I still have resentment towards him. Especially the way he ruined Hockey Central at Noon, and most HNIC broadcasts.

Do you miss Jeff Marek? Did you enjoy his style?

People have made far greater transgressions in life and been given second chances.

Your resentment shows without stating it.

 

[Jacob]

What'd he do?

 

[NVious]

Jeff Marek is my throat goat (best voice in broadcasting)

 

[TrufleShufle]

What'd he do?

Was wrong.

 

[WillTheThrill]

I feel indifferent about him

 

[BonMorrison]

I don't get it.

 

[Forge]

I like Marek

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

I feel like few people cared about this except for the guy that apparently hates him lol.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Never paid much attention to him, or any of the others tbh. They’re all just noise to me.

[Nazzlind]

32 thoughts was def better with him

 

[thrillhous]

He’ll end up doing just fine whether you support him or not. “Disgraced” is a strong word and many would disagree with your use of that word.

 

[John Price]

damn marek and wyzinski were the top podcast at one point

Of all things to make a big deal out of...leaking draft picks is way down the list for me

 

[Peasy]

So you hate the guy, yet youre the first to make a thread on here about where he is now working?

 

[LevelingSolo]

Was never a fan and was reminded of why when he started to politicize Ovie’s goal chase on Spittin Chiclets

That said though he’s welcome pursue opportunities in the industry, he never did anything that bad really

 

[John Price]

What'd he do?

some reporting ethical bullshit

"Marek worked with Sportsnet, before being dismissed due to leaking NHL draft selections to a friend while part of the broadcasting panel."

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I’m a big fan. I don’t think I’d like him personally, but I like his commentary. I may just be used to hearing from him because I’ve been a daily HC@N/Jeff Marek show listener for many years.

 

[TheSuperElite]

hate his fake laugh

 

[FMichael]

I like Marek

Same...He has pretty good insight and speculation...I had learned from him that Yzerman was going to hire Lalonde months before it happened.....Ok - maybe I hate him

 

[bossram]

Was wrong.

Leaking draft picks before they were made.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Was never a fan. would go on these tangents, that had no relevance whatsoever.
Like this reminds of …..Freidman would go, no Jeff, don’t go down another rabbit hole, that has nothing to do with the discussion.

 

[John Price]

Leaking draft picks before they were made.

it's really not that big a deal and he should be allowed on TV again

He clearly loves the game of hockey and the history of hockey and I can appreciate that.
