Thankfully, since Dubas left hes stopped being a leafs gm fanboy.

Cheryl Pounder is 10 times the analyst Jennifer Botterill is. When Cheryl talks I listen, when Jenn talks I mute

Really wish Cassie would come back to replace her.

LOL.

McLennan adds little but amiable chuckling and repetition of catch phrases

I get that the NFL isn’t necessarily his wheelhousr, but I had to laugh when he asked today if the Eagles had a goon they could send after Mahomes to take him out of the Super Bowl

Why does Kyper shill so hard for Marner? It makes the show unlistenable.

You do me this. I give you some dishes. You know what I am saying. I don't need to say anything else capiche?

Because he’s is tune with the realities of the national hockey league.

IMO it’s even worse when Hayes and ODog don’t know basic football news…….more than once I’ve seen them talk about the guy in the gas mask and the coach in the hospital bed in the same segment and they don’t know the connection.

The best is their takes on the NBA. My son catches it sometimes when he is over for supper and he is openly offended by their commentary and takes. lol

They should probably just stick to hockey, some NFL when Luke is on and avoid the rest. I know they know golf, but I literally turn off the show when they go into it. Just not my thing.

Their basketball takes are probably 10,000 foot as well. I turn it off when they have a basketball segment, which isn’t too often, thankfully.

How does he shill and/or why would he?

He doesn’t shill. He evaluates what he sees and offer the opinion that Marner would get ~14 million on the open market and gives his reasons why that would be good or bad.

He's shills every player, pretty much. He's a staunch PA guy, so he wants them all to get as much as possible.

I mean he could with the cap increase, seems high but he would certainly have a better idea than the average fan.

Shill to me means he can have some affect on what's happening, I don't see how his comments affect anything.
