Just wondering what you guys think of the hosts and the shows on this station. I pay about $9 per month for my SiriusXM package, and while this is not the only channel I listen to, I would pay $9/month for this channel alone...it's wonderful to have hockey talk on the radio 24/7!
Rossy and Kern are on in the morning and they're pretty good. Just ok with they're talking together, but they do have a great interview with a hockey insider (Pierre McGuire, Potvin, Mike Johnson of TSN) at 8:30 AM weekday mornings, and the show works nicely when they take calls from callers. Always good to get the pulse on what's going on in the league, and quite often their take on what happened last night around the league.
Scott Laughlin has the power play show from 3-6PM, sometimes with a host like Espo or Matthew Barnaby. Always a good listen, and some really good guests. Bill Waters cracks me up.
Of course there is always the play by play of all the games, which is a great perk if you happen to be driving at night.
The best part of the station, however, is Jim 'Boomer' Gordon, who hosts 'The Point' from 12-1PM, where he and someone else (it varies) just talk hockey for an hour. Two commercial breaks the entire hour! You can agree or disagree with Boomer, but I find him fascinating to listen to. Very funny and great insight.
Boomer also hosts 'The Extra Point' where Boomer usually interviews writers and analysts from around the league. Again, great stuff. At 1:45 PM he then replays the hockey insider segment from the morning, which is nice in case you missed it.
From 6-7 PM Boomer hosts 'Face Off', which previews all of the games that night. Extremely in-depth, with interviews and coach's press conferences when there are not many games, and just an overview of each game with line combinations, etc., when there are a lot. Whatever time allows...a GREAT show. And again, only two commercial breaks per hour.
And Boomer is big-tme Ryan McDonagh fan-boy too! Over the summer he predicted a Norris Trophy nomination this year.
I can't believe I used to wait for Boomer and Carton to mention hockey every once in a while, and now we have a 24/7 station! Agree with the hosts/guests or not, this beats the minute and half of hockey coverage you get per day on the FAN!
