yeah well, it ain't a court of law. I mean I suspect if Westwood says he knows something he's probably not lying, but at the same time I wouldn't expect him to share it on the air. In the end, it's up to the individual if they wan't to buy what he's selling or not.

I have no doubt he was being completely serious. I'm not sure how any observant person could have missed the signs that Ladd had checked out. Many fans will choose to believe whatever makes them happy or supports their notions.

TSN isn't allocating funds to the different cities and their stations. They have to be self-sufficient. The question I'd ask to people saying they need to spend on bringing in new radio talent is where would the money come from?

Dr. Jay has neutered every guy in the province it seems - take it from him.

Well lets hope Ladd enjoys playing 3rd line for the Islanders!

Ladd

Did anybody catch the awkward segment this morning where Westwood was saying he has inside information on Ladd and why he didn't re-sign here that he can't share publicly? He was trying to win an argument with a caller, and basically said you're wrong and I have evidence but I'm not going to say it, so I took it with a grain of salt.





Ladd got fed up with the AHL management. He knew without NHL level experience in management this team will continue to be prone to mistakes.

So he signed with the Islanders, a franchise well known for their competence in hockey ops. Makes sense. :sarcasm:

A team with good NHL level management wouldn't be prone to a mistake like signing Ladd to a 7 x $5.5M deal. Just saying...

I was about to state the same thing.

The irony in that statement is strong. Ladd wanting out due to bad management, yet had he resigned for what he wanted, it would signify bad management.

Bingo! Already being called the worst FA deal of the off season! Ladd turns 31 in Dec. and his play is already in decline, doubt the guy is still in the NHL by the time year 5 of that contract rolls around! A 34-35 year old Ladd isn't going to be a pretty sight, guys hand eye coordination was bad for the past couple Jets seasons!

Best non- signing that Chevy ever made!

Agreed. It's a laughable statement from someone who continues to beat the same ridiculous drum about the organization.

Instead of the same old regurgitation of contract drama, I'd love to hear a segment on coaching systems and team identities. Get some more in depth talk and you'd probably find yourself with a different audience

When will TSN1290 get rid of the replays at 10:00-11:00am & 1:00-2:00pm? Can they not flip to ESPN or another TSN station for these hours. Throw Remis/Rewicki or Toth (or somebody) in there to fill two hours... I leave it on at work all day & the replay gets old...

Its surprising they never/rarely have any of the Jets/Moose coaches on. What is up? Do they have some sort of "no media" policy?

They don't even have a former player or coach do the in game colour. Munz and Edwards are clueless. They never or seldom say the name of what Jet screwed up on a goal against. Just seem to be interested in doing True North pr. Dump those 2 and replace with Peacock and Kidd.

Agreed. As the team improves, players improve and our record improves, this silly narrative that our management team is incompetent becomes more laughable by the minute.

One day we will be celebrating a Stanley Cup winning season, and I somehow feel that will not be enough [mod].

Limited access to coach's aside from the post game presser is pretty much standard in today's NHL (pro sports in general).

Having Munz and EDMONDS together is on 1290, when Beyak and Hnidy do the radio PxP on occasion the broadcast improves 100%!

Munz has improved a little, Edmonds seems more interested in improving his shtick which in itself is tiresome to listen to.

I didn't mind Munz at all when he covered for Beyak on TV

Me neither, he was surprisingly good. He is better suited to TV PxP, when he did the Jets games on 1290 he tended to talk way too much!

Y'know what I find really annoying as far as ads right now on 1290? That little bumper they have for that new show Queen of the South. "In order to run a successful drug cartel you have to be a mean, ruthless man...until now!" OMG! It's a show about a drug kingpin...but get this! The kingpin is a woman! Can you believe that ****? She's a queenpin! Get it? Mind = blown! Plus just based on the two little bits of dialog they have in the ad I already know I hate the woman in the lead role.

What can I say? Little things really annoy me. :laugh:
