Another great effort covering the biggest story in the city TGOR. That Pierre McGuire interview was laughable. You set your expectations low with this station and they still somehow fail it.
They spent more time talking about Mike Green than the 4th period story. Basically asked Pierre, do you know anything about this, he said no so they moved on. They didn't ask or discuss any of the other content that was in the article that was speculated, they didn't mention anything about Bill Daley confirming that there has been offers. An easy question to Pierre would have been "Billy Daley refutes that a lot of offers are made to different teams, it doesn't mean that the owner is shopping the team, is that true?". Didn't ask anything about the rumored sale ask for $600M - $700M and if its a reasonable ask for the franchise. Didn't ask anything along the lines of "Do you think Karlsson is holding out to sign a contract as he sees how the ownership situation is going to unfold?".
TSN1200 strategy with this article falls in line with everything else that relates to the owner, downplay downplay downplay, ignore ignore ignore, refer to the office responses from NHL and owner as the gospel, and barely have a thoughtful, insightful discussion on it and hope the next story comes in quickly so you can move on it from. All these journalist grads and none of them can bring anything new to the table other official responses.
What a disgraceful trash station, jesus christ.
Oh and to top it off, Steve Warne's stupidity on full display again, asking Pierre if he will have trouble signing Karlsson because of his injuries, his bad defense etc. Then Pierre just simply saying No, because he's world class talent. Steve still on that crusade [mod]
