TSN 690 and Other Montreal Based Media (Part 10)

[Dirby Kach]

Normand is so bad.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Flynn seems to be upset his buddy Bergevin and now Ducharme are no longer running the show.

The moment Gorton, then Hughes, and now MSL are there, he's been upset. He hasn't even given them a chance to breathe. He's been on them from the moment they were hired.

 

[417]

He gets the reaction. If you want anything in entertainment, it's a reaction.

Couldn't they get someone who could also generate a reaction while also knowing the hell they're talking about?

Anyways, I was just honestly asking what in Flynn's background makes 690 or RDS value his opinion so much, I honestly don't know his background.

I'm going to assume he coached in the Q years ago??

He's shitting on Gorton today for sure - why? Gorton has been here for 3 days - give him 3 years and then we can start evaluating. Hopefully we get 2 of Wright/Savoie/Cooley/Bedard/Michkov.

He's been shitting on Gorton, Hughes, and now Marty from the moment these guys have been hired. Marinaro asked him if he's crossed paths with these guys somewhere and they rubbed him the wrong way because Flynn has been harsh with them.

My problem with Normand's opinion is that he's talking about how disoriented the team is now and he wants to put this on the guys there now, as if he forgot this is the mess they inherited from MB and DD.

Has experience, but nothing really noteworthy. You can work on a field for a long time but not be great at what you do.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I never realize how bad hab fans are until i listen to the team 690 and hear them talk about, well, basically anything hockey related.

I have interviewed Norman while with the Laser. Very approachable for sure. But has not ‘progressed’ as a hockey pundit.

 

[jackeymoon]

There's a glut of talentless hacks on 690. As much as we chide Norman Flynn the fact is you don't have b and c reporters like valji or ward making french media airwaves. That valji dude does live hits for tsn calgary and my buddy who's a cal fan has a valji stuttering drinking game lol not to mention ward went to court for domestic abuse

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Melnick the music man thinks Crowded House and Simply Red are Scottish.

He knows music like Tony knows hockey.

The bolded part bewilders me to NO end
I'm just a little shocked he is THAT stupid, that he keeps hammering Gorton and Hughes for this CURRENT team that BERGEVIN built

I dont understand what he expected when the new regime took over?? Trade everybody the next week?? Like is this guy for real

 

[Runner77]

I don't understand WHY Normand Flynn has a regular segment on 690 lol

WHY!!!!???

Easily 90% of the hosts are dreadful. The major saving grace are those big name pundits they tap into for regular segments but that excludes Flynn who should be nowhere near a mic.

Analyst of what? He’s more of an anal cyst.

 

[EXPOS123]

I know of a government worker that has been doing absolutely nothing for 20 years and she just got a promotion.Being at a job for 20 years doesn't mean you are any good at it.All depends who you work for.

 

[Runner77]

Adam Ward with a hilarious moniker today about our Pitlicks. He dared any PxP guy who is calling a Habs game, to make a special reference involving the Pitlicks, by referring to them as “Pitlickers.”

 

[PhysicalHABuse]

This morning they are talking about Brendan Gallagher potentially being traded and are debating whether this could happen. Does anyone really think that his contract can be moved? I think this is all talk and not because I wouldn’t want it to happen, but I cannot see anyone accepting his contact for what he produces.

In the off-season taking back salary it might. You can always get knee jerk trades for character from playoff failure teams and Gm at the the end of lifelines.
Ie leafs after a first round exist again.
Oilers losing to rival flames
It need to be set up by disappointment
And return won’t be huge

 

[Guy Larose]

I don't think these guys are any worse than other shows like JiC, etc...speaking of which, JiC was praying for a rebuild, just hammering way for a better part of the year. On the show the other day he sounded like he was against it since teams like Buffalo, Oilers, Arizona, etc never won anything doing it...take a position moron.

Had him with the laser eh? I'd a pulled the trigger

 

[sampollock]

Flynn is a clown, never has a real thought out sentence.
he is full of hot air

In times gone past,on air talent could enunciate and had voices made for radio,now there is more of these type on the airwaves.

Is he the brother of the infamous Burt

As many expected, Nilan will start a podcast:

TSN690 still has Knuckles Nilan next to Mariano on its Habs Lunch playback clips.
