You want to hear another get a clue moment? OMG, it's not related to LL but, get this... People here think Jake Gardiner sucks and should be traded, I know I know, but, get this... They don't even read all the data that proves them completely wrong when it gets linked for them. I am talking hard data, facts and references to things the coach has said about him. It's amazing right, it's like Nylander and Gardiner are whipping boys here. Crazy world!
Double whammy for TSN. Moving the Leafs Lunch crew destroyed that show, and that same crew has made the afternoon drive unlistenable.
The boys should be back in their Leaf Lunch spot from 12-2 or whatever is best for the station where they can talk hockey, and only hockey, during that time, while some more well rounded co-hosts handle the prime time slot.
i still don't understand why they made the move to begin with.
Jeff can't mentally handle 3 hrs (heck he can barely handle 2). when it was at noon, Ray was able to come in more often live (so like more Ray = awesome). if something MAJOR happened - you just "eat up" the Hayes show.
and the most important part - you had ONE hour of Leafs talk etc. and debate. one hour of NHL talk.
Considering that Andi wastes time with Grades of the Game (like who cares) - that takes up 10-15 minutes. then they fight over crap. that's another 5. then Bob (or another insider) takes up 10 minutes then the other 10 minutes is another insider - then more nonsense. (it's a little more streamlined when it's Mark Rowe - who is awesome).
if i were doing it - Hayes and the Boys go back to Lunch time
2 hrs
move Landsberg/Naylor to the evening (because 1/2 of what they talk about is "evening radio" anyway especially when they go political.
find someone else to go to the morning. If i were moving things around at this point - I'd move Cauz + Wheeler in the morning -
Scotty's show (is 3 hrs) boom. 9-12.
then you just need 2 hrs between 2 and 4 - which could be Hayes + guests (again) OR. you can do something else.
I can't see "POS" on screen without reading it a different way in my head.

I happen to like Overdrive where it's at, but maybe that's because I usually only listen to the first hour or 90 minutes.
I just wonder if TSN can grab another former one-dimensional player who will gripe about D play when their own was a joke when they were in the league. Getting a O' in front of their name would help too.
The last hour is all i get to listen/watch from the pvr so if that happen i would hope they would reconfigure it ,i miss hearing Rayi wish they would basically do a 3 hour leaf lunch/hayes show from 4-7PM. 1st hour they talk about the leafs, 2nd hour ray and then nhl talk and the 3rd hour all the other sports. Lets face it no one is tuning in to listen to odog and noodles pretend to know what they are talking
Button bothers me far more than anyone else on that show.

Button is a bit of an ass i try to give them all a break cuz i know they are in the loop and i am not even close ,but Button says some pretty stupid stuff,,like Sunday they was talking the different between Malkins head check and why he was not suspended and Turoba was for his ,,Button said Malkin went threw the body,,the host said Malkin jumped though,Button replied there is no penalty for jumping.
I was surprised LL was on Monday due to a holiday in some provinces,i tuned in there was Andi,Miller in the middle and i wonder who the third would be,i was very surprised to see O'Sullavin,
Sully and Miller beside each other on the same panel.

O'Neill was a pure offensive weapon, he may not have played much D as a forward, but he can definitely tell when its lousy. How do you think he scored so much? Hes also never claimed to be a good defensive forward, he often jokes about being bad at it.
POS just comes off as arrogant or angry most of the time. He doesnt have the humour that makes O'Neill a good host.
then he shouldn't complain about Nylander's defensive game. He was lousy at it but knows how to score in fact he should love nylander then. for the record Nylander is already better at defensive play. If he wasn't willing to put in effort its not right to whine on the radio about another players effort, just comes off as very hypocritical something like "this worked for me in the league, BUT I don't want this guy to do that"
Why not? His job now is to provide analysis. Id rather him call out Nylander's poor defensive play then gloss over it.
Sugar coating things isnt good. He can recognize poor defensive play and its his job to talk about it
true, but ive never heard him say a word about JVR or Bozak he either cant notice poor defensive play and follows the nylander bad at D narrative or he isn't willing to "tell it like it is"

please just stop.
Deep down you know it's true and like a good debate. As for LL, it's a tank job of it's own. Horrible program that needs dismantled and reinvented with a new cast. Andi is just out of her element and needs to be placed where she is most effective.
Andi was another Rogers Hockey Night in Canada cut I didn't understand. Since they obviously want a female as part of the program, she was/is the best of the pickings out there.

she left HNIC before rogers got the rights, she went to soccer for a while I think plus the Olympics. She was very good on the panel back when HNIC was purely a CBC thing, they should bring her back I think she is a great panelist not a great host imo. Also dim the lights and give that cozy Saturday night feel to HNIC again right now its like a operating theatre stark LED lighting really doesn't help the show
