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

[Kelly]

I don't care about the winner of two tv stations over a overly hyped day.

I won because I managed to have the whole day off with full pay while not using any vacation hours.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Anyone who didn't waste their time watching TV coverage of the deadline won the battle.

I thought the singer on TSN was great. Unique!

 

[Pilky01]

I haven't efforted to watch trade deadline coverage in probably a decade. I find it hard to believe that people can still get caught up in this nonsense...and yet the ratings say plenty of people do.

 

[Ratboy]

Sportsnet is a joke. It's only one or two steps up from Leafs TV.

 

[613Leafer]

SN is definitely improving. Kipper IMO is becoming one of the top insiders in the business. And some of the other guys they had around were pretty good for discussions.

I'm not a big fan of Garrioch, Lawton, Spector, etc. though.

I prefer TSN, but don't have it anymore on our cable package.

 

[TMLeafer]

TSN Radio + occasional peeks @ HFboards on my phone at work.

 

[PureTruculence]

Sportsnet for me.

 

[Diatomic]

I was using sportsnet radio

 

[NikoPopp]

Why do hockey people on tv yell all the time?

Probably the wrong thread for you then huh? You rant about this every year.

 

[Blufreezy]

Sportsnet is trash

 

[Brewsky]

As far as breaking the trades, Sportsnet was quicker. All the other fluff and entertainment talk goes to TSN.

 

[InShannyWeTrust]

Whats sportsnet? I might have to medicate myself for the next 8 years that was the worst day in recent history when I found out TSN lost the rights

 

[Toque*]

I played with my gi-joes in the basement until it was over

 

[Ace88*]

TSN, just because they are self aware and know how much of a joke the coverage has turned into and they play off it. Sportsnet they take themselves wayyyy too seriously and honestly have just slightly inferior coverage

 

[TheKule]

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

TSN featured Jay Feaster so this point is invalid.

I gotta say I stick with TSN, though. There's more straight forward analysis and less platitudes. I feel like the guys on Sportsnet are constantly trying to one up each other and they get way to melodramatic. Kypreos is especially bad. And they're gonna be adding Healy and Stock to the mix.

TSN will still be hosting deadline day specials moving forward, even without the rights

 

[Kurtz]

When in doubt, go with Mckenzie/Dreger.

 

[DD03]

Nothing like The Bobfather And Dregula.

 

[Keeping it Blue]

I don't get why someone cares that one person broke a trade 30 seconds before someone else. I'll listen/watch the one with the people who id rather hear talk so thats always TSN.

Anyone who didn't waste their time watching TV coverage of the deadline won the battle.

I just checked HF from time to time.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Watched the Sportsnet stream on my tablet, didnt bother with TSN this year. Its all the same **** I dont understand why everyone here gets so worked up about the whole SN vs TSN thing.

 

[Yosho]

Listening on the radio, Fan590 (SN) was faaaaaarrrrrr better than TSN1050.

The TSN guys on Twitter seemed to be breaking stuff first, but the network was so delayed.

 

[BiggestLeafsFanEVER*]

I just followed on TSN and twitter. Didn't even look at sportsnet.
