Tim Peel vs. Mark Spector (caution language)

[AmabileCassarole]

That's fair, I don't know enough about the Edmonton media to comment.

But I saw it first-hand here in Vancouver, where for the first half or so of Benning's tenure, the media wasn't hard enough on management which was part of the reason the fans were hard enough on management, which is why Benning was able to keep his job as long as he did.

The players do deserve their fair share of the blame but if the media refuses to look at management and ownership, that is sad.

The whole thing, I think, is rotten to the core. Everyone involved from top to bottom doesn't give a damn, and is content to just kick back and milk the city and its people for as much as they can. It wouldn't surprise me if Katz throws up his hands after McDrai walk and just sells everything. He really only cared about the real estate, anyway. Had Gretzky help him blackmail the city with those trips to Seattle to build him a new arena with all the money going to his coffers, not the city's, after all. He'll make quite the pretty penny and leave the scorched earth once called the Oilers brand for the new owners to struggle with, because I could see the Oilers hitting Elkimos level apathy after all's said and done. I mean, sure, sure, you'd always have the diehards who are loyal to the crest, but in these uncertain times, how many more are gonna just say screw it and bounce? It's hard enough to buy even a hot dog at Rogers, let alone a ticket.

Pretty funny response from Peel, and hes 100% right for once. Spector is a moron, and thats clear to me even though I am not an Oilers fan. I have 0 respect for Peel though, the man is to refereeing and Twitter what Spector is to sports journalism.

Always funny to see two buffoons go at it though.

Spector's to sports journalism what Meltzer is to wrestling: basically a glorified pest who's helped sink the business they claim to be so great at covering.

I'm definitely taking Peel's side in that exchange. Spector is the one who ramps up the rhetoric out of the blue. And then to share the conversation publicly? Pure douchebaggery.

Peel's the one who shared the convo though

Two definitions of ego

Mark Spector is Edmonton’s Ian Maclntyre

A mouth piece for the org and a boot kicker of the owner.

Fake journalist

"Connor, tough loss out there, would you rather have won the game than lost the game?"

This man is literally paid to ask questions of the players, is flown around North America to ask those questions, and this is what he comes up with. Thrilling stuff.

Bet he gives a hell of a yelp review though

 

[Look Up]

What I got from this text exchange is that Peel is enamored with Spector's balls and Spector likes Peel's ass.

Maybe you just haven’t taken into account that he’s been (self proclaimed), ‘very good to read for 35 years’ lol

What am I missing? Why did Mark Spector say that to Tim Peel at the beginning of the DM convo? About piling on? This is confusing.

Aka said the quiet thing out loud lol. Every ref does that at all levels of our sport

 

[SaintMorose]

35 years around the game is pretty meaningless when you are too arrogant to learn anything year to year

 

[Mrfenn92]

Both clowns

Holy crap, i thought I was the only one. Tim Peel didn't do the interview, how is he piling on? Isn't Tim Peel retired? What is going on? Lol.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Two idiots, nobody to root for here.

But this question should be linked in that “players have Edmonton on NTC list” the next time people start complaining. Toxic media.

Something was cut off when Tim peel says stop being so sensitive

I like spectors hockey for trade rumors sometimes and Tim peel has broken evander Kane news in the past.

It was a dumb question but that’s become common now from the media
