In many circles including the press, I feel like any negative portrayals of the Jets and their play is to be considered “fake news”...
The individuals and commentary on TSN 1290 are not controversial, and certainly not paragons of independence and strength.
The local media lives in an echo-chamber.
Beyak spewing the excuse mantra this morning....travel....oh the horror of the travel....the poor team....
embarrassing
If the Jets had won the series, maybe the Blues would have commented the same way. Fact is, the players have no idea why they didn't win the series. Same with TB and Calgary. Hockey is a weird game with lots of momentum shifts, bounces, etc.The Blues say their bad travel schedule in the second half of the season helped pull the team together. Winners.
The Jets Coach keeps floating the lame travel excuse post ASB as to why they were tired. Losers.
Winners find a way to win.
Losers find lame excuses.
No. That award clearly goes to Paul EdmondsBeyak is prob the worst interview they have on 1290....He has zero insight, all of his comments are on the fence and never makes a solid negative statement against any player or coach.... He is terrified to bite the hand that feeds him.. He is pretty much a change the station for 5 minutes when he comes on....He should stick to play by play and not bother doing any interviews since he doesn't answer any questions.

The Jets-Blues series was pretty even for the most part.
You dont think the Leafs trotted out Mackenzie the day before the Auston Matthews signing, already knowing the cap hit to tell Leaf Nation it's going to be ok as long as a couple players take team friendly deals and they use a 20 man roster next year it's all going to be ok? Or do you really think for no reason he was saying such stupid things on national TV for no other than he thought it was brilliant? He got told to calm the fan base before they told everyone they paid him over 11 million dollars and didn't even get 7/8 years out of it.lol seriously!
This IS THE funniest thing I read last number of days!
So let me get this straight, you think true north is using 1290 AM to propagate signing players?
First question is, why the hell would they bother wasting their time and resources in this? They are going to do what they’re going to do regardless of what the fans think.
Secondly, do you really think true North cares that much about what the fans think about who they re-sign and who they don’t?
Here is an update. At the end of the day they don’t give a rip what the fans think on which players they resign and which they don’t?

Yup get ready for some tough hard hitting analysis lolooooooooooooh, Paul Edmunds closing thoughts incoming! Prepare for lots of insight and revelation!

It's ok to lose. Just don't come up with lame excuses to try to wallpaper over your mistakes or failures. Lose with dignity. Learn. Come back better.

I agree with your point that we don't get NHL insight. Anything outside the Jets is basically googled. Misinformation on teams in other divisions, etc.Today I was listening to NHL Network radio on Sirius, and they had Peter Loubardias (Flames PxP guy) on to talk Flames. Was legitimately impressed with the insight he offered, didn’t beat around the bush about guys who didn’t earn their pay (eg. James Neal)
Maybe Beyak would bring more in a less restricted forum, but somehow I feel like he would be just as bland and uninsightful as he always is. Often feels like our local media has absolutely zero clue about any of the other 30 teams, beyond the few times they play the Jets during the season. It’s like they lack any broader context throughout the league, and just make lame, generic statements that are almost universally in favour of the Jets and their overall direction.

It happens everywhere.
Highlight of yesterdays two hours of morning show calls was the last caller. Asks the hosts what they think the team needs. Toth says 5v5 play and defensive play needs to improve. Rewecki chimes in a basically explains to Toth that's coaching.
1290 just played a commercial that thanked all of their listeners, hosts, analysts during the season and wait for it.....TSNE.The local media lives in fear of TNSE.
