I hate when my twitter feed gets full of NFL shit, I follow these guys for hockey entertainment not random "oh how does that not get called" with absolutely no context. Sitting threw the horrible political takes are bad enough...
Just a thought, perhaps they are lonely watching football alone?

Must be why ray was going to bat so hard for Dreger with regards to the Marner signing.

I got a kick out of an article from Ed Willes in the Province on Sunday. As we're all aware, before the Marner signing, the Canucks and Boeser had several months of unsuccessful negotiations.
On September 15, 2019 with Marner having been signed Willes wrote "Mitch Marner's new contract will make it even more difficult for Canucks to sign Brock Boeser" : https://theprovince.com/sports/hock...esers-signature-on-a-new-deal-just-got-harder
One day later, on September 16 the Canucks signed Brock Boeser to an extension.

Combine that with Benning and Travis Green releasing Landon, I dont expect them to take the positive side of anything Canuck related... not that Ray did prior anyways.
Ray has nothing good to say because well.....there has not been much good to say. Dreger just has a hate on for Vancouver. Always has. Don't like the guy one bit.
Trying listening to a few minutes of the Sportsnet 650 post game show. Is it just me, or are these guys as awful as they sound? Endless cliches and their comments sound like the same sound-bites on a continuous play-loop. More cheerleaders than commentators. But I guess that goes with working for the house radio station.
Can't wait for the return of the TSN 1040 post-game show. At least JPat offers up something that resembles in-depth analysis. Besides he seems to ask the only relevant questions in the post-game presser with the coach.

Ray is good friends with Travis Green, which is probably why Landon got the invite in the first place. Don't think he'll be extra critical of Green/Benning for giving his kid coming off an injury a chance.

Totally. That ad is likely the worst I have ever heard, like painful to listen to.
Landon has played 2 NHL games in the past 3 seasons. He’s 28 years old now.
Career totals of 77 games with 7 goals and 5 assists for 12 points.
At best he could get a 2 way deal. Was never going to be a 1 way here.

The Canucks are planning to honour Jason Botchford by carving the "Botchford V" (created by Chris Conti) into the desk Botch used in the Rogers Arena press box. Very cool.

I think as long as Dreger plays the role as host, and lets Ray be the star of the show, it should be fine.
I used to like ray's other podcast, but eventually found it to be unlistenable, because the host for that one spent way too much time talking about the leafs.
I guess there is a danger of that happening with Dreger too, but let's see how it goes.
I tried as well but I think it was just due to Ray's co-host being unpolished and not a good broadcaster.
Actually, Ray spoke on 1040 about Landon's experience and he said Landon had only great things to say about his experience. Sounded like the Ferraros were very appreciative of the Canucks for extending Landon the opportunity to prove that he can still play and Ray personally feels that but for the log jam of forwards the Canucks had they would have offered Landon a contract. There doesn't sound like there was any animosity there as far as Landon being released was concerned.

I heard it as well...
He was so appreciative... it was cool...
The part where is said something like he 'wasn't prepared for the feels he experienced seeing him in a Canuck jersey'.... makes you realize he still has some fandom in him.

Serenity now!
Does Dhaliwal actually try to be daft? I mean, is that his whole schtick? Honest question.
