Podcast (Audio) The Wally and Methot Show

What would be the point of this venture otherwise?

Team 1200 already exists to tow the company line, no need for a 2nd.

They are not going to come out with the anti-owner theme as many dream of on hfsens.

Canada's biggest dynamic sports duo just broke up... and they are in a hockey mecca. Maybe a chance to get in with that audience?

Many of us certainly do wish they would, but of course I don't expect it to be "anti Melnyk", whatever that means these days, but hopefully the subject along with many others arent out of bounds like they are on the Team. Maybe some interesting questions to guests too.

The sports media in Ottawa is boring and neutered, so whatever they need to do to put on an interesting show is fine by me and that requires being candid regardless of the subject.

To have an income?

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

To have an income?

Right, but to do so they have to offer something interesting and different from the other bland options available.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

To have an income?

Definitely not an income.

I think I read on here that TSN 1200 has an anverage of ~20k daily listeners.

20k viewers on a YouTube channel daily (which this will only be twice a week) can bring in $17k/yr (source)

I can't see this as income for Craig and Brent, who are both parents.

I can see this as a way of getting a new job in sports media...

Laughed at Alfie saying Havlat flies up to Ottawa to avoid the hurricanes in Florida when they land.

Missed his dry humour. Guy is hilarious some times.

If they can capture what the steve dangle podcast does they can do well in this space. Steve Dangle and Adam also work for Rogers I believe but do the podcast aswell.

Twice a week is perfect and follows their model. It takes out a of the filler content and lets them talk about the leafs straight

Hope not, not a fan of Dangle.

whether you are or not a fan they are doing really well

I hope there's a day when Alfie can return home to this team in some capacity.
There's something very calming seeing him speak on this team

 

[BloodRedArmy]

Good podcast. Once they have the kinks ironed out, will be fantastic.
Alfie was honest and forthcoming without totally revealing names/ issues etc. Very good.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Great first episode. I don’t expect them to be a melnyk out podcast but I do wish they would have at least asked Alfie about the two times he left the org.

He ask if he want to come back in the hockey. Alfie said for sure when my familie will be older, because lots of time to spend at the arena for coaching or managing. So when he left for familie reason , I think he said the true

 

[Sun God Nika]

I think family was a reason for sure to stepping out of hockey . Also think ownership of the team was a bigger reason

Agreed. The stuff about one of his sons having a tough time moving to Detroit reminds you these are humans who deal with the same kind of emotions we all do.

Hopefully someday he can be part of the Sens again. We know it likely wont happen with a certain someone owning the team tho.

It’s the elephant in the room so disappointed they didn’t get into why Alfie said he hoped for new ownership or why he left Ottawa if his relationship with BM was good.
, and why he left again after saying he wanted to be involved. I know Alfie did an interview pre Detroit and said he felt he was cheated by the team because he wanted to renegotiate his final year - but they also asked him about chips and skates and we’ve heard those stories before.

stand out for me was Alfie saying the Chara/Redden teams were serious and focused. I don’t know why it stood out, but you understand why those teams got so much done and the others didn’t and to me it put into context the EK team that fell apart after the Turriz trade. Seems after they traded Turris EK checked out and with that the team had no focus because the year before they were as locked in as a team can get.

I had to mute him twitter he is so annoying

 

[otown]

The first real broadcast was pretty good considering they are just getting their feet wet. It will be interesting to see what other guests they will bring on.

Dion would be good. Interesting dude, drafted by Daryl Sutter who looked happier to draft him then win the Cup. Captain of the Make Believes and for Sens fans nothing better then revisiting the Bruins comeback, the run in Ottawa and mancrush with EK. The WJC team - I wonder if that’s the best team he ever played on?

[Sens of Anarchy]

Alphie was great on he show.. His ability to evaluate and communicate expectations with players was revealing. Hard to believe he would not help this front office immensely.

 

[Ice-Tray]

What an awesome show. Loved listening to Alfie. The Sens better make sure they are the team to give Alfie the role he needs when he’s ready to take on a pro position.

Sounds like right now he’s putting kid first, but it’s exciting to think that he might be back with us eventually.

He has a great presence on camera, very well spoken and intelligent. He’s able to expound here and there but never loses the original thread.

 

[BondraTime]

Hope not, not a fan of Dangle.

He’s terrible

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Alfie went from 1-2 pairs of skates in a season to 26 (!) the year the skate material switched from leather to a synthetic material. That would be such a nightmare to heat the skates to mold to your feet that many times.
