GDT: Trade Deadline - TSN vs Sportsnet - April 3rd, 5:00AM (TSN, SNET)

[Aphid Attraction]

how many times will SN refer to TSNs Iggy balls up?

 

[John Bender*]

TSN has strength, reliability and efficiency up front with Bobby Mac. Ferraro is entertaining as a colour guy but he might be out of his league in a live telecast.

TSN has some major weakness on the back-end with Aaron Ward (Iginla gaff). Hodge is past his prime and Button is a liability.

SNET provides the entertain factor with the great interplay between Keenan, Kipper and MacLean. Kipper also was laser quick last TDL with breaking news.

The X-factor will be Jay Onrait checking in from home. I think it's a toss up either way but I gotta go with Bobby Mac as the deciding factor.

I hope it's not like last year where the first 6 hours made the Minnesota Wild look exciting.

I get sick of Jay Onrait...........he's like an annoying toy that never shuts off. Ward is fine....the Iginla error was not his fault. Button is a bit of a clown, but he has great insight with respect to junior/college hockey. Kypreos does come out with some good scoops, but he's a ****ing caveman. I don't like him.

Nothing happens until around 9, so better off gaining the 3 or 4 hours of sleep.

Okay, will do!

So excited to see what trades go down.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Congrats btw!

Thanks!

In my industry it is not uncommon for people to plan the birth of a child for the busier parts of the season, the work season not the hockey season.

Would have liked Canucklehead # 2 to arrive a lot sooner, but we're happy with how things played out.

On tomorrow - I for one will be nervously waiting for 9AM to see if Cam Barker has been claimed off waivers.

McKenzie and Ferraro add elements of grit to the TSN panel. TSN>>SportsNet.

I agree, overall TSN is way more balanced and has the top dogs to carry them, but if it gets ugly and we see a low scoring, boring game then I can see Sportsnet being right in the mix until the very end.

I don't have school on Wednesdays, so I'm free all day.

Should I wake up at 5, or just wake up at 8?

You probably will only miss a minor trade or two if you wake up at 8.

I, on the other hand, have to deal with the cluster**** that will be the trade board tomorrow morning. ...

 

[Lawzy]

I am. For WORK. Dont you guys work!?!?!?

I have class at 9.

Might be up at 5, I highly doubt it.

EDIT: Problem being if I went to bed now I won't do well on my test tomorrow. Could just not sleep.

Don't Dreger have a conflict of interest in the Luongo situation......he should not be allow anywhere near it

 

[Nucker101]

Gotta take advantage of the weak link on their defence otherwise they have no shot.

 

[The Stig]

I am. For WORK. Dont you guys work!?!?!?

I'm on workers comp with a bulged disc in the lower back. But I'll be up here at 5am talking with you guys, with probably sportsnet on the tv and the tsn/nhl apps open on my phone....its freaking christmas

 

[canuck4life16]

I think it will be worth it if someone go on the PA system and say Luongo been traded.....even if you don't care it big enough.........but never will happen

 

[Addison Rae]

The clear weak link for TSN is Button, but Sportsnet also has their fair share with Keenan, Lawton, PuckDady{Hate this man} ETC

Good luck.

Any guesses on how many trades there'll be tomorrow? I'm guessing 18.

How so?

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Ya I'm getting up. Atleast I hope my alarm wakes me up.

Grab a cup of coffee and away we go.

 

[Lawzy]

How so?

He's Nonis' cousin silly, he's obviously biased and should be taken out back and shot.

 

[Addison Rae]

How so?

He said the Leafs would only take Luongo for "Free" Won't be giving anything of value for him.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Nothing ever happens in the early morning on these shows.

I remember one time I woke up at 6 to watch Free Agent Frenzy and for the first two and a half hours the only person that signed anywhere was Todd White to Atlanta.

 

[deadinthewater]

Have fun.

My family would likely tell me to turn the ****ing TV off and go back to sleep.

 

[Nuckles]

I personally cant stand Sportsnet at all.
There are times when TSN is bad too, but it's far less than Sportsnet IMO.


I'll probably have the TSN stream on one of my monitors, and HF + tweetdeck on my other monitor.

 

[dps]

Who's with me?!

 

[Taelin]

Have fun.

My family would likely tell me to turn the ****ing TV off and go back to sleep.

Precisely why I'm waking up at 8 instead of 5.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

TSN is the best for trade deadline day! I remember that day they announced Hamhuis signed to a 6 year deal.

EDIT: I will just keep an eye during socials tmrw since I get to work on a sheet all class and then Lunch. Hopefully a deal for a top 6 forward is put in.

 

[canuck4life16]

was the HOssa blockbuster on the last day of trade deadline?

"nothing ever happens on these shows"
