Why can’t they produce a morning show? Do enough people in Toronto care about basketball and American football to listen to a Yankee talking sports?

Lack of radio talent for starters. They keep recycling the terrible Matt Cauz because they dont have anyone else.

I think it was Ray and ODog yesterday saying it's time to Load Manage Patrick Marleau. Take games 79-82 off. Streaks we made to be broken it's time.

The leafs are the 90s Jacques Martin Sens (great regular season team, soft, playoff chokes) and the Bruins are the Quinn Leafs (tough & clutch in the playoffs).

Easier solution is to play him as the fourth line center.

Johnsson Matthews Kapanen
Kadri Tavares Marner
Hyman Nylander Ennis
Moore Marleau Petan
Brown/Goat

I have been saying since he came back from the All Star break looking like a new player for the week after that we should spit on that streak sit the guy out for some time before the playoffs so he isn't a total crater when it actually matters.

so tough and clutch that they got railroaded 4-1 last year?

vs each other.

Didnt imply that before; people diefying the bruins are hilarious

 

[Warden of the North]

Yes please!!!!

 

[93WrapAround]

Yes please!!!!

I get the idea to add an additional hour to their most prized show, but taking away a post-work hour in favor of a working hour doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I know everyone isn't on a 9-5, but I'd have to imagine the greater majority are off at 5pm and aren't able to listen to the show during work.

Overdrive has absurdly good podcast numbers. A significant portion of their listener base doesnt listen live.

I dont. I can start and pause. No commercials. Its just better.

Fair points. I guess I'm not really in their 'regular' listener base anyway since I only tune in usually from about 5-5:30 and 6:30 to 7. I hope they still keep the Ray Ferarro segment just after 5..

Johnsson Matthews Kapanen

Moore Marleau Petan
Brown/Goat

He should play with Matthews and Nylander. Marleau-Kadri have not been offensive catalysts, so get Johnsson and Kapanen playing with Kadri and then have Marleau compliment Matthews and Nylander. Marleau is not good enough to make things happen out of nothing, but he is still a really smart player who makes other players look better. The problem is that both he and Kadri have a slump, and really no chemistry together.

Then use Moore, Gauthier and Brown on your fourth line to be a strong forechecking line who can generate a bit of offense. Brown is not scoring as much as one would hope, but at least he has a career high in assists and is doing much better overall. Keep him on a simple forechecking line and maybe some space will start to open up for him to get some more goals.

 

[sxvnert]

O will protest against it. Four hours will kill him.
Ending at 6 does make sense though since games start at 7pm. Hayes routinely bitches about it.

My hours are 6:30 to 2:30.
You'd be amazed at how much traffic is on the road at those commute times.

I think there are probably more people heading home from 2-4pm than 6-7pm, which is my situation. I usually end up listening to music or a podcast on the way home, but would totally listen to OD instead if the hours worked out.

 

[tmlms13]

Yes please!!!!

I think more likely is they are Reno'ing it to be more TV friendly and will put all 3 hours on TV like PTS.

Get a legit spot for a 4th person

I think an even better strategy if they do end up keeping it alive to end the year.... If you want to keep your streak alive accept a trade somewhere else. If you want to stay here we're going to healthy scratch you for 15-20 games.

The Podcast is bloody good for someone in New Zealand like me, no ads and listening at hours that suit me is excellent

 

[Peasy]

Nice to hear them call out Babs bullshit.

 

[BorntoLose]

0% chance Odog played 39:34

 

[Walshy7]

Yes please!!!!

Ugh. yay get to hear odog complain about working more. Yippie

 

[Anthrax442]

2-6 would work better for me, but I'd hate to miss the Leafs hour on The Good Show

 

[rielledup]

Noodles claiming the Bruins have better forward depth than the Leafs is ridiculous. I favour the Bruins to beat us in the playoffs, but it won't be because they have better depth at forward.
