Come on.
Anyone who has an opinion about the Habs or argues their opinion can come across as """obnoxious""" if you want to be stinky about it.
That's true of the internet entirely. It is somewhat of a good thing too, or at the very least it's both good and bad.Not really. I've never met people who talk about hockey in real life the way people here do. Most people are a lot more nuanced and open to being wrong then people on here are. A real inflated sense of the importance of their opinions here.
Yeah I quite like what the leafs have going. Andi Petrillo is animated.

I guess Tony isn’t too happy with HFboards? Lol
...I’ve said it before, but all the Sportsnet 590 and TSN 1050 guys are Leafs homers, but at least they provide some insight and actual analysis to the table.
I didn't like Andi when she was first introduced, but she's grown on me. I do like she presents some good discussion points and she holds up against her guests and co-hosts.
I usually listen to Hockey Central though and it took a while also, but Jeff Marek has also grown on me, though I do miss Daren Millard. Kipper, while annoying at times, at least isn't punch drunk like Nilan.
Still a big fan of Overdrive. I love those guys.
For my Habs fix, I just can't listen to 690. I do listen to many pods though, and while not all are good, I will listen to these before Tony any day.
...
By Hockey Central, you mean the TSN TV segment during intermissions? Or is there a radio equivalent?
Also, can you list the shows and times that are worth a listen on Sportsnet 590 and TSN1050? I imagine we can easily catch these online.
Thanks in advance.
No, I was referring to Hockey Central at Noon.
Here are the show times:
Leafs Lunch with Andi Petrillo @ 12 PM TSN 1050
Hockey Central at Noon @ uh, 12 PM Sportsnet 590
Overdrive @ 4PM TSN 1050
Those are the 3 I listen to, though I bounce back and forth between Hockey Central and Leafs Lunch. I will probably listen to less Leafs Lunch now that the Nylander situation is over, but I usually listen a lot when the Habs play the Leafs.
The great thing about the 3 shows also is they are available via podcast also, so even if you miss them, you can download them. TSN 690 makes that hard to do unless you directly visit their site which is annoying to me. With the Toronto shows, I subscribe to them in Overcast (but any pod app will work) and they download automatically.
I read somewhere they don't do this with TSN 690 because they want to encourage visitors to their site and people to listen live. I think they do this because If I were able to download a pod, I would SKIP anytime Tony opens his mouth.
Thanks for the detailed reply.
How would you compare Melnick's show and guests to any of the above? I imagine some of Melnick's guests do a milk run on the TSN shows you listed?
Also, who are your favorite broadcasters from the shows you listed? What do you like about them?
I'm asking cause I'm looking for a new fix. I've long been annoyed by the local fare.
I like Melnick, once I can get past the first 20 minutes you guys were talking about earlier, lol. Lebrun and McGuire as well as McKenzie typically swing by Leafs Lunch.
I mean end of the day, during hockey season, I mostly care about hockey and basketball. I am not a Leafs fan, but I don't mind listening about them since I got to sound half knowledgeable when I have my water cooler discussions at work. Unless it's some important day for the Leafs, Hockey Central at Noon and Overdrive do talk about other topics, which is good. It also gives some insight on what is happening to other teams around the league.
The shows I listed, I am fine with all the hosts. Even Kypreos is ok, but I'm not a big fan or anything. But of the 3 shows, Overdrive has my favorite hosts with Hayes, Noodles (McLennan) and O-Dog (O'Neil). Those 3 have great chemistry and heck, since I know you like A Million Little Things, those 3 on Overdrive make for a real "bro" show.
Getting back to the Habs, I do listen to these podcasts (all are 100% free):
Habsent Minded
The Habs Forum
Habsworld
The Montreal Bias
No Respek
I do listen to Le Support Athletique and Last Word pods when they upload one around the Habs.
I read somewhere they don't do this with TSN 690 because they want to encourage visitors to their site and people to listen live. I think they do this because If I were able to download a pod, I would SKIP anytime Tony opens his mouth.
We never found out how his roast went.

It was mentioned repeatedly on 690, on the days that followed it.
If you want to catch up on it (I don't know why anyone would, but hey, it's a free world), you'll find a lengthy write-up and a ton of none-too-flattering pics of Tony's gut and multiple chins, right here: http://www.mitchmelnick.com/photos/is-this-a-joke-no-its-a-roast-photo-album-more/
No thanks, my day is going well, I don't want to ruin it. I don't give a shiite about Tony. I tried listening to him, lasted maybe 5 minutes, and that was years ago.It was mentioned repeatedly on 690, on the days that followed it.

Your message would have had far more impact if it were delivered with food. That's about the only way that an unknown gets a warm reception when offering constructive criticism.

Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me. You did ask for a follow-up on Tony's roast, so I obliged. I always get in trouble when I try to accomodate you.
Isn't that age discriminatory?Alright everyone. This forum's not the place to talk about old posters.
