My youth included a steady diet of Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County

LOVED Calvin & Hobbes when I was a kid, and was so bummed when it ended. I had so many of those collection books.

Calvin & Hobbes was/is still great because I remember it appealing to me as a kid because I could completely identify with Calvin. I sort of looked like him, my parents looked like his parents, only child, rambunctious, etc and just reading them sometimes made it seem like the actual strips were about my life (minus the stuffed animal/imaginary friend).

But re-reading them occasionally as an adult, there was such a deeper meaning that was lost on kids. And that is the mark of great writing.

I bought a bunch of the book collections for my daughter last Christmas. She loves them.

Even with an op-ed piece a writer doing it for a major news paper has to have some journalistic integrity which did not happen here at all. She did not reach out to him for a comment, left out the fact that the reason he was recently off the air was because of mental health issues and accused him of being a racist with out providing any example of him ever saying anything racist on the air.

Thanx.

I never thought I would see the day that Dave Hodge would be on the set of HNIC again. I know it is different management now but he went out in style.



Dave from all accounts was fired instantly by the CBC and it took a week and a half to do the paperwork. Ron MacLean would take his place.

This was his swan song



In 1989 he gave his version of what happened.

Watched the first clip, and shall check the next two.

I remember Dave Hodge from the 1970s, viewing Windsor's channel 9/CBC. Hockey Night in Canada, with its fab theme & yes, those jackets. This was when the Leafs were terrible (and so were the Wings; I lived in the Detroit area).

Glad he seems well. Thanks Fens,

Troy Brown on Toucher and Rich is really becoming my favorite post game analysis. He's so funny and insightful about the behind the scenes stuff. I was skeptical at first because Brandon Meriweather was hilarious, but Brown is just so good.

Big Bang was fun once a month. I love hearing Troy every week.

The only positive I can take from this image is that Haggs is not in it.

Good for her. Looks like she loves covering the Bruins

Quite interesting not having WEEI in Canada anymore. You almost forget Boston even has sports media and all drama that comes with it. Different world

Have you considered a US based VPN?

Wonder if that's possible if I listen in my car on my phone . I could research how to do that on my PC

BSJ Live Q&A: Conor Ryan on Bruins/NHL, 6 p.m. | Boston Sports Journal

 

[Gee Wally]

Boston Bruins history was made on Dec. 1, 1924, and a radio legend was born - The Boston Globe


On Dec. 1, 1924, the Boston Bruins played their very first game in the National Hockey League, and Boston Traveler sportswriter Frank Ryan gave the play-the-play for the radio broadcast.

Ryan’s wife, Madeleine, went to his parents’ house that night to listen to the game. She used a crystal radio receiver with earphones to hear Ryan make his debut as the voice of the Boston Bruins.

It was Monday night, and the Bruins were playing at the Boston Arena, the team’s home rink on St. Botolph Street. (The Boston Garden had not been built yet.) The inaugural game failed to draw a large crowd — according to one estimate, only 1,340 people showed up — but thanks to the WBZ radio broadcast, many more hockey fans got to hear Ryan’s voice over the airwaves describing the body checks and scuffles on the ice that night, as well as the pair of goals that propelled the B’s to their first-ever NHL victory, beating the Montreal Maroons by a score of 2 to 1.

Yah but it’s cancelled out by the butthurt Dickerson. Still hasn’t gotten over getting let go by the CSNNE.

When is the local hockey show on? I thought it was on Sundays on 98.5.
