TSN Overdrive (and other Toronto Sports Media) 2018-19

[Walshy7]

He lost his inside man?

his cousin is Dave Nonis

 

[DarkKnight]

How did Mike Zigo get a gig on Hockey Central, he's bland, boring and bad. Seriously, who makes that call to put this stiff on the air?

 

[al secord]

I have no idea why Andi has to go "i'm italian" all the time.
no one cares.

It's an insufferable GTA thing. I have no idea what Gord Miller, Craig Button or the guy's from Overdrive's background is, and I'm quite happy not knowing. Now, if I could only figure out what Carlo Colaiacavo's background is....

Is she not Canadian?

She had a quip today when Lou was on the line. "So I heard they had pasta and I was like sure but is it REAL pasta." The last two words in that most Torontonian of Italian accents. You could hear the look from him over the phone and the airwaves.

But is he as dumb as Kypreos?

LOL that's what i was referring to. like there was this pause, and i swear you could hear lou thinking out loud. "are you kidding me with this crap?"

 

[Daisy Jane]

i love how everyone in toronto is going to be offer sheeted.
also according to Dreger, we can't hoard superstars.
did someone tell Pittsburgh/Chicago this?

 

[TheShape]

Dreger is the biggest fraud and clickbait artist in the “insider” business. It’s laughable.

Absolutely cannot stand that guy. I shut off any radio hit he does.

Yeah holy hell. Leafs lunch is all about basically somehow the leafs wont have anyone next year. Supposedly matthews, nylander, and marner will all be gone.

 

[Warden of the North]

Mike Zigomanis is awful on Hockey Central. He offers nothing that the average hockey fan doesnt already know

I don’t mind Dreger.

But he definitely is click bait and loves to rile up the fans.

No idea how it's still On Air.

to be fair O'dog doesn't shut up about being irish, its fairly obvious with a name like O'neill but then again its a pretty safe assumption Petrillo is Italian too

welcome to anything involving Gord "I just got a text from a GM" Miller

Its embarrassing. During the summer she went on about maple vs woodbridge as if anyone listening has a clue what shes talking about or actually gives a rats behind. I'm afraid we'll have to put up with this indefinitely because its not politically correct to fire her.
Her niche is doing television and interviewing players. Radio requires a interesting personality which she obviously lacks. No different than putting ODog as the main host of overdrive which would end up as a disaster.

 

[Budz22]

Boy Noodles loves his Price eh?

 

[Damisoph]

Boy Noodles loves his Price eh?

He's irrational...still calls Price the best goalie in the league. I find Noodles' opinions can change with whatever mood he's in, and with the way he talks in circles, could have a different opinion at the end than the beginning of a rant.

 

[Peasy]

Listening to Noodles defend the Oilers to death is terrible.

 

[Joey Hoser]

Boy Noodles loves his Price eh?

Meh. I don't think you can pay a goalie over 10 million, and the defense in front of him is pretty bad, but if all things were equal for goaltenders, I'd still put my money on Price being the best.

The difference between Maple and Woodbridge is that there is the 400 between them. Outside of that, its the same cookie cutter suburbs, with the same plaza that vary between having one Montanas, Jack Astors, or similar restauraunt, and one of McDonalds or Tim Hortons (sometimes both), and an array of one of these (Subway, Wendy's, A and W, etc).

Woodbridge has Parmigiana, so, I'll give it the edge.

yea but did you know Zach Kassian can skate?

 

[LeafChief]

Noodles is what we in the industry refer to as a f***ing idiot.
