TSN 690 & Other Montreal sports media Thread V

[SOLR]

Just doing his job (TVA is one of the habs broadcasters...) can we stop with this.

Did you listen to the podcast?

 

[SOLR]

Who cares...he is a journalist employed by a company that has a contractual relationship with the Habs. Why are you wasting your time (and ours) creating a forum thread about this? Are you just discovering the concept of a "business relationship".

 

[LaP]

Lavoie is a tool. Always has been always will be.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Why would he defend him? Come on its low hanging fruit why.

Not every broadcaster has a contract with a bootlicking clause. SN has on camera people who actually give their opinions in all sports as does TSN. They're not paid cheerleaders or co-conspirators.

You're not a journalist if you don't have any integrity.

 

[TRG]

That's how he gets his scoops.

Stop. You are trying to get into a thing with me that doesn't exist. We don't have a history.

Argue with his opinions (Lavoie) because that is what this thread is about.

You want to stop people from discussing hockey and the habs on a hockey discussion board?

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Paid shill, defender, kiss-ass, however you want to call it.

 

[Shabs]

I heard myself this year lavoie on the radio pumping mete’s tires so you would think he was the second coming. He was grasping at straws just to come up with something positive to say. He is the definition of shill

 

[Bryson]

The worst I ever saw was when Lavoie was arguing with Mario Dumont defending the end of the year presser after this disastrous season. Also I love how when Lavoie interviews english players, ends up translating it to french and it's not at all what the player said lol.

 

[BLONG7]

Lavoie is a tool. Always has been always will be.

And we have a winner............there is NO other explanation.

 

[David Suzuki]

Couldn't imagine caring what Renauld LAvoie says.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

He’s the biggest joke in the industry that’s why. His nose has been permanently dyed brown after years of sniffing MT’s loud farts directly at the source, he’s just continuing his job with Bergevin.

If anybody listens to him then you are even worst than him ,,,,
He is Marc s puppet

Soon to be hired, as Special Advisor to Da GM!!

Why do you automatically assume the draft selection will need to be defended ? Can't it be a good selection ? Can't wait to see you crap on the selection regardless of who it is.

I think they’ll make good on whoever they take at #3. Im worried about a lot of things, and although they can screw it up, i’m still going to give whoever they pick the opportunity to develop before I make an informed opinion on whoever it is.

How could the OP create a thread on a hockey forum about hockey topics during the summer when there is no NHL hockey being played. How dare he!

EDIT: respectfully I don't like discouraging new threads. Or I can just flip repteadly flip through the trade thread, draft thread and Mb thread

 

[Pickles]

Loved the opening rant he was bang on. Lavoie sounds like the minister of Canadiens propaganda. He shouldn't even be considered a journalist at this point.

Just about any journalist is employed one way or another by someone that one way or another has relationships in the arena where the journalist will work. Does not mean they have to be brown-nosers but some do do that and seemingly gain favour in montreal (maybe elsewhere too but it's not helpful re mgmt accountability for team performance). Anyway reporting is a spectrum and Lavoie is more toward propagandist than journalist imho. Qc is interesting because where people are unilingual, which is outside Montreal, they are more dependent on and so can be more efficiently influenced by Qc media. It's where these such guys resonate.

Listened to Tsalikis yesterday argue (still) that trading a Franchise potential D-man (Sergachev) for a 2nd line winger (Drouin) was still a good deal. How come TSN hires people that have the intellectual capacity of a drunk at a bar talking trash on their station?

Probably all they can afford
