Whenever I hear Campbell, it’s enough for me to move on to something else. One of those underrated life hacks.

I emailed Campbell few weeks back
I asked him why they focus so much on the figs, even though TSN sponsors the figs
He told me, they don't ....I lauged at him

I watched the TSN broadcast of last night's game with FLA. The previous 4 or 5 games, I watched the opposing teams' broadcasts. With the exception of Sunday's game with FLA, I thought most/all of the opposing teams' broadcasts were too partisan/rooting for the "home team". Few references/comments about the Habs. Referring to home team players by their first name/nickname e.g. "Bob" for Bobrovsky. When they discussed keys to the game, they discussed ONLY the home team. Lots of small, niggling things.

I thought that when I watched a TSN broadcast that it would be more objective and acknowledge that there was another team on the ice besides the home team/the Habs. Boy, was I WRONG!

The TSN broadcast was the MOST partisan broadcast, and it wasn't even close. Frankie Corrado and Craig Button are the biggest "homer" analysts I've ever seen/heard in a hockey broadcast ever. Yes, even more than Jack Edwards. It was embarrassing. If it weren't for missing part of the game, I would have searched for the FLA broadcast. I think when a broadcast is so partisan it disrespects the game, the league and the viewers/listeners. It believes that the viewers/listeners aren't mature or intelligent enough. The strategy is to cater to the lowest common denominator - an ardent fan of that team. It's a strategy followed by local sports radio, which is why I'll only listen to US national sports radio shows, that - unfortunately - talk very little about hockey

You're embarrassing yourself with that lol. Yes they are worse than the play by play guy who actively wishes injuries upon opposing teams and players.

I usually find the tsn habs broadcasts to be pretty mild in terms of partisanship by regional standards.

You completely lost me at the jack edwards bit. Youre comparing the tsn guys to a guy who screamed at roman hamrlik to "get up" from the ice.

 

[tazsub3]

who was that athletics douche yesterday that kept on dismissing hutson and telling mitch how good a season celebrini is having on a last place team. And that he was on the wold bandwagon....
do these losers that vote actually watch the games?

Campbell just mentioned wearing his Expos jersey to a Dodgers game recently.

Of course he’s a third party jersey chode.

Is that an extreme view from me? Do people think it’s fine to wear a jersey to a game of a team not playing at the game you’re attending? It’s bothered me since I attended my first game and noted a Bruins jersey at a Canucks/Jets game in the 80s.

CAMPBELL is a pure media clown pd by TSN enough said

 

[Kimota]

BTW why do the journalists always mention how great the fans are in Montreal to the players in interviews? Why does that matter? As a fan, I don't want that to be an issue. I'm watching the Habs, not the Habs and Fans. lol That must be a TVA Sparre thing. They have so little to bring in a conversation that they focus on the stupidiest things. Can you imagine Dick Irving saying to Larry Robinson:"hey Larry how about the fans tonight?". "What? Bro, I'm trying to win games, here". Freaking Passe-Partout Generation.

TO MUCH
690 interviewing tsn radio figland
and talking nostrils on how he made figland excited. what a crock

 

[sampollock]

690 is interviewing Dan Robinson voice of the Jets
Dan was great with the Canadians
They're talking about the Winnipeg Jets which is okay cuz they don't get any press anyway.
But the best part was they both listen to a clip from Dreiger
Dreiger says the reason why Winnipeg didn't rebuild is cuz the fan base sucks and they would lose the franchise.

And that he is inside track of why Chipman did not rebuild but keeps buying players.

Dan just kind of yeah okay and then went on with his story.
Shows how much dreiger is an idiot

Engles the clown asks MSL why he moved him to a different spot on PP last game.
MSL says back " he has been there for a few games"
clown Engles

 

[JianYang]

Grant McCagg is definitely related to that guy from the monopoly board game.

Engels with the softball questions as always. He knows who spreads the butter and jam.

Still like him better than MD.

On the 690 post-game show, they were saying Demidov is the most hyped Habs prospect since Guy Lafleur.

Couple of thoughts, when did social media become huge, mid 1990's? Anyway, the hype for Doug Wickenheiser was huge and it buried him. Guy Lafleur used to say he was only expected to replace Jean Beliveau when he joined the Habs. It took him years to find his way in the NHL and he was surrounded by Hall of Famers. Was part of a Cup team his second season. Wick was only expected to take the flambeau from #10 and the Habs were in decline by the time he joined the team. It was too much for him.

I just hope that Demidov is allowed to progress at his pace, whatever that is, and he isn't buried by the hype that Wick had. He'll have a lot of adjustments to make not just new team, new league. Off ice, travel, culture. Hope for the kid's sake he's given the space by all to learn & develop

Btw, no one has come within light years of replacing what Jean Beliveau brought to the Habs, he will always be in a class by himself for me.
