Sportsnet: Sportsnet or TSN? Who won the trade deadline battle?

[TheTotalPackage]

I've found this an intriguing argument the last few years. TSN used to be the king, but in the last few years, I think Sportsnet has left them in the dust.

Who did you turn to for today?

90 % of the time I followed TSN.

 

[Cor]

Twitter.

 

[Longshot]

I watched both for a couple of hours starting around 12:30 and found that TSN was quicker off the mark reporting the actual trades. Although I prefer the Sportsnet personalities.

deadline day is not what it use to be, just boring, last day i stay home from school, it's not worth it anymore

 

[Leafs87]

Tsn ainec

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

TSN easily

 

[Al14]

TSN... The selfie moment won it for sure!

Twitter and TSN today.

I didn't find Sportsnet's coverage to be particularly enlightening or interesting today. I didn't really like anyone that they had on, and was a little bored.

I liked how TSN didn't take themselves too seriously today - far less formal and much more loose and casual today.

Three best moments of the day:

1 - The Duthie -Ellen selfie

2 - The Duthie-Burke interview

3 - Twitter response to the Vanek deal

TSN still has the panel of guys who actually know what is going on.

Sportsnet has a panel of guys who were failed executives. I still laugh every time Doug McLean critiques a trade.

Ultimately, Twitter wins the day, and you were suckers if you actually watched TSN/Sportsnet talk all day about nothing until a flurry of deals at the last minute. Deadline shows have largely become irrelevant.

 

[Joey Hoser]

TSN and HF

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

TSN. didn't even bother to turn on sportsnet.

Twitter won

Sportsnet meh

TSN lost

 

[Rare Jewel]

TSN

Didn't even change the channel really.

 

[Mystifo]

Twitter. (But it was TSN members I followed.)

The selfie thing on TSN was hilarious. That guy playing the guitar and singing songs was just ****ing stupid tho. Especially being at work and trying to stream the thing and then having him pop up
Get that gaaaawbage outta here

 

[Banic]

I listen to 1050 most of the day, so TSN won. But I also find the Sportsnet crew generally 2nd rate.

 

[achtungbaby]

TSN. Didn't even turn to Sportsnet once. John Shannon alone is reason enough for me to stay away.

 

[Igy]

TSN with twitter open.

 

[FriedEgg]

I find for the most part tsn is more professional. Sportsnet seems to have guys that think they are personalities.

 

[Hyperglide]

TSN has much better analysts who don't speak like they have marbles in their mouth and sound more coherent. Plus they don't seem so super serious and have intelligent former players on there.

Sportsnet flat out sucks. I'm going to loathe once they get the NHL coverage full time. The only decent guy they have there is Kipper. I kinda like Millard to as the host, he's no Duthie though.

Agreed he did have that called at least an hour before it was announced. I enjoyed watching Sportsnet's coverage more than TSN this year. Whenever TSN put on Dave Hodge you know its time to hit the channel change button.

 

[spidergoalie]

I watched from TSN's website. Unfortunately the feed kept dropping.
Otherwise I checked Twitter and a goalie board which just changed massively and as a result is difficult to navigate and has much less traffic than usual.

I generally dislike almost everyone on sportsnet.
