They won't.
They will lose their jobs or be suspended or lose access to the team if they do this.
Ian did ask some tough ones, and I credit him wholly for doing so, but then stopped pressing. I'd really love to see someone keep at it and at it until we catch the manager in a contradiction.
Even without being so aggressive, the whole Friday afternoon schedule was bizarre. Melnyk story blowing up and I am hearing CFL talk? Who cares? Talk about Melnyk, talk about the Dallas game, talk about the Minnesota game, talk about the afteroon Rangers/Flyers game. Talk hockey already! There is more than enough CFL coverage in the papers, can we get some hockey talk? And maybe some Premier League talk if they are displaced from their Monday because of hockey?
(Since I'm on a rant here...)
I love the Monday football show, but I'd like it to be a little inversed. Talk a good 30 minutes about the Premier League, then talk about the Fury and so on. I mean, TV5 has an hour plus of football talk where they talk all sorts of stuff relating to European football. I get this is more of a hockey market, but there are tons of PL fans in Ottawa region.
So TLDR:
Dig into the Melnyk Ruddy situation.
Ask probing questions of players/management, go after them!
A little more Premier League talk.
Let the CFL talk die after Sunday. Congratulate the winner and move on to the Senators, 24/7 and sprinkle in talk about other Canadian teams. Just 15 minutes with Pierre McGuire is not enough!
P.S. I love the Thursday positive segment concept, but I'd rather Throwback Thursday or just more hockey insider talk. There's 31 teams, let's dig in!
