poor LB.
guy was such a nice dude. hands like friggin frying pans. lol

I believe it was ’89, the Bruins were in the old Forum, facing elimination. A frustrated Bob Wilson, the club’s legendary radio voice, detailed Boston’s predicament in his pregame show, noting all the firepower the Canadiens had at hand as they attempted to close out the series.

“And who do the Bruins counter with?’’ bellowed Wilson in his deep, mellifluent voice. “Lyndon Byers . . . who couldn’t put the puck in the ocean if he was standing at the edge of the dock!’’ Wilson punctuated dock with near-theatrical emphasis.

F&M giving Ullmark and the media crap calling them the “boo hoo Linus crew”. You can’t make this toxic pathetic crap up. These guys suck.

In Felgers defense, I see his point.

Holy shit he still has a job over there?!

And man oh man that was even worse than I thought it would be. Having it on video, where he does a little shit-eating grin after, is really incredible.

I have heard it and wasn't that the truth.

Please explain

Cullinane is channeling his inner Bob Murchison. First Mazz, now Curtis.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Curtis’ excuse is worse.

That he tried to say it was someone else.

Putz

Whose skin is thinner? Jimmy or Chad? I wish I knew how to make a poll lol.

They should just stick to football talk and leave the hockey talk out of their mouths. Bruins are an easy target for them.

F&M and crew are pretty dumb people to start off with. Not much skill or brains are needed to do those jobs. That why I hope all sports radio crashes and burns. It meaningless and advertisers are on to it finally

How are advertisers on to one of the highest rated shows in the country?

Right??

Shouldn't even still be there to begin with.

 

[Alicat]

He’s full of shit

 

[GatorMike]

"Guys... guys... I'm not racist. I'm sexist" isn't quite the defense that Chris Curtis thinks it is.

 

[mikelvl]

Here's some advice for the pathetic Chris Curtis, STFU and produce the show! That's your job, not constantly auditioning to be an on air talent. What a disaster this guy is. Just shut up. And when is enough enough with him? They should turn his mic off permanently when he returns and remind him what his job is. He reeks of someone who just desires attention constantly.

I absolutely loved Bob Wilson. I heard his voice as I read that.

What most people don't know is LB was a 30 goal scorer in Junior. Couldn't translate it to the pros, so he learned to fight.

 

[McGarnagle]

It's been said already, but the I'm not racist, I actually was intending on making a misogynist joke excuse is baffling.

I heard him tell that story. That’s how he stuck in the NHL.

He was also a point and a half per game in the playoffs his last year in junior. He had game, enough to go 2nd round in the draft.

The Voice through a single earplug that carried me to sleep as a kid during the annual west coast swing. May as well have been the voice of God.

 

[McGarnagle]

You know what's funny, growing up in New Hampshire in the 90s I don't remember ever hearing Bruins games on the radio, but I could pick up New York Rangers games on AM radio in my room with clarity. Even by the mid-00s we still could only barely get WEEI on the Seacoast because their range was pretty shitty.

I'm sure there was a network that syndicated Bruins games throughout New England, but I just don't recall ever finding them or picking them up, so I have zero memory of Bob Wilson. And I think by the time I started following the Bruins, he had retired anyway (first season I watched was the last half-year in the old Garden in 95).
