I worked nights and made sure not to find out the results, I get home to eat and watch TSN highlights and expect the east games 1st because they happened before the west games. It bothers me because I'm in the east.

They don't exist to cater to you. If you don't like it, record the show and fast forward to the highlights you want to see. Problem solved.
That's what I do now. Someone told me Sportsnet does the east 1st, so I found my solution.

Listening to TSN 1050 today, wow the non overdrive content is deplorable Karolnek and Little Carmine spent a lot of their show babbling about their personal golf stuff, unbelievably bad. It's one of the busiest times of the sports calendars and these guys are talking about their golfing outfits and who's playing with who at their home courses. Not just passing references, a lot of returns to the theme. What higher ups believe this is good interesting radio listening?
Then leaf lunch buffoon Button regurgitates hot take after hot take then bullies the inexperienced host Distefano when he gently suggests that not having Matthews in the top 3 of his MVP ballot is just that a hit take. What a punchabke twit. As he chuckles smugly about saying something he's particularly proud of.
Live sports radio continues its death rattle.

All day on OD they’ve been talking about how many series end tonight with each guest. Hayes picked Toronto and St. Louis O took those two & Carolina…. Then there’s Noodles who is too chicken shit to say on air if he thinks the leafs will win or lose tonight.

Button has done that his whole time in media, just a complete ass hole, and anyone who disagrees is simply wrong. Everytime he's on overdrive he does one of these intentionally but never laughs it off to make sure Hayes knows he's just bugging him. It's funny in most cases but Button just wants to make sure Hayes doesn't reply to what he's saying and think he doesn't deserve to talk about sports with professionals

Heard anyting interesting so far?
I liked Hayes on Carlo's show this morning. He is more on the change-things-up side of things (like me).
Dreger .....just being kind of boring, as usual.
Frankie C - he's played with, and knows, a lot of the current Leaf players and management. He hinted that Nylander should be the one to go. Interesting.

Hayes on Leafs losing another Game 7 and what changes he wants to see
Host of OverDrive, Bryan Hayes, joins First Up to chat about the Maple Leafs losing yet again in Game 7 and being eliminated in the first round, losing in the same ways, getting tired of moral victories, what changes he wants to see and more.

As much as I dislike Steve Simmons, he's one of only a few reporters who has the balls to ask the tough and direct questions.
I hope he gets picked to ask a question at the Dubas/Shanny presser

Fan 590 first up one of them brought up a good point about giving term to Gio. Our defense is getting old with Brodie, Gio, Muzzin and Holl(if he stays for next season). Didn’t realize how old everyone was already getting on that defense. Makes me feel old lol.

I don't usually plug shows, but I am very interested to hear what Bourne and Kyper have to say this afternoon. I don't usually agree with them but still enjoy the banter.

It's untrue. The user has acted like he has people he knows in every situation when he doesn't. The reality is Leafs will likely take some time. Dubas doesn't even have a contract for next season so there might be change anyway.
Edit: Elliotte says Dubas has a year left

For the first time I don’t even know what the right move is. Whatever decision they make I’ll be okay let’s see how this plays out.
He's got another year.
But next season will be his last year under contract. Tricky situation. Do you extend him now or let him be a lame duck.

Button is the absolute worst. Cathal Kelly and Cox I can also live without. And that chick on CBC with the big f***in neck.
Run it back with Trotz and some improved depth players please. If you have to move someone noticeable, do it. Enough of this ticky tack band aid solutions. That is not how you run a business.

MJ is usually good, but I didn't agree with his Leafs takes at all today. One example: he believes that the Caps just happened to win when Trotz joined them.....implying that it had nothing to do with Trotz.
MJ was a very soft player and he wants to protect all the soft players on the leafs.

Bourne and Kyper are saying this failure goes back to signing Tavares, and I agree with them.
Imagine:
Bunts - Matthews - Marner
Nylander - Kadri - Hyman
and a better bottom 6 or a good defenceman.
