Gulutzan on Jim Rome today

[aaronck]

Also mentioned GG has a great head of lettuce. Which he certainly does.

I used to thing Rome was pretty good and had some really good takes and one liners-Now it might be a bit tired...

[ForeverFlameFan]

Lol, I went through this whole thread thinking I'd get a little something of what GG said.

Left thinking about Rome.

I came for GG talk, saw the name Ferrell and got sidetracked into watching a bunch of Will Ferrell doing Harry Caray clips. Pretty good way to spend a lunch hour.

I don’t know what segments you’re listening to, but the NHL certainly is not one of them from any of his broadcasts.

I assure you the GG interview is more about a stick throw than actual hockey and the Calgary Flames.

Rome is a hack and a waste of 3 hours of air time in the radio.

You forgot horse racing...

[burn_this_city]

Ferrell on the bench is great. He actually likes hockey and his takes on almost everything are pretty well spot on.

[Stay Golden]

Look forward to reading the recaps on the interview posted here.
Used to listen to Rome quite a bit but the pace of work is too hectic to listen in. His shtick is a bit repetitive but sometimes good for laugh, he has good NCAA Football/BBall coverage which is hard to find in Canada.

My car is always tuned to 960, but when he comes on I ALWAYS change it. I can't stand him.

For some reason I always assumed Rome was Canadian (maybe Toronto?). This explains so much!

[Azhouse]

Thanks for the link bluck. I'm not a huge Rome fan but that was a solid interview.

[wooohooo]

Tried to give a quick summary while I'm not too busy at work, but I missed some parts but general gist of it.

Depth of team with leading scorer out
-Good depth, shuffled line and got good young players.
Players brought up from the AHL, how are they ready to step up?
-Play similar systems in AHL and NHL. Don’t try to overload, want them to just paly first few games. Don’t want them to overthink. Play with adrenaline. When they get used to it start talking about details and pushing them.

Mike smith and his play
-Great acquisition, goaltending fantastic – top of league. Got also a great leader, lots of passion and fire. Very positive and great leadership. Puck handling abilities like defenseman. Contributed to all areas of game with transition to better offense.

Momentum with streak – how to maintain rhythm?
-Want to keep it going, get used to playing every second night. On a roll, gotta keep going. We weren’t a tired group but NHL with buy week teams are paired with other teams coming off the buy week so level playing field.

Toss of stick
-Young players and culture. Didn’t awnt to go long in morning, wanted vetran guys to lead it didn’t get it. Set him off, and with young guys want to set a certain standard and didn’t want to let it go. Deliver message that’s not how we operate and culture based on higher standard and coaches need to do that.

Head coach and standards vs vets enforcing culture
-Great leader in Gio. In high function team by end of year the coaches are facilitators. Veteran guys grab ahold of guys. Developing relationship with players but develop emotional bank account. Doesn’t see himself as dictator. Wants to put plan of year but end of day can’t be dictator if you want team to take off. IT’s on players. Put bank account – communicates with them. Honest with them, tells them they awnt to block the shot. Honor birthdays, milestones… create culture. Create relationship on and off ice. When times are tough – you have accuont with them because they know you care with them, and need to withdrawl and push them they understand. When you push them they get better and don’t withdraw

How are you diffferent as head coach here vs dallas
-In Dallas, young guy – helped him with experience, hurt him a bit – some mistakes if he had more experience. Three years in vancouver got him comfortable in league. A lot of stuf fhe did was on track. Nothing can really compensate with experience. A lot of stuff he did was on track, gave him experience with league. Second time around – missed something but experience that we’re on right track.
-Got Texts from other coaches – they threw their stick too, welcome to club. Lol.
-When get together in summer meetings – understand emotions of being a coach. Two emotions as coach- winning and misery.

What’s more intense? Winning or misery
-Misery – runs deeper. When you win, how can I win the next night. When I loose it sinks much deeper.

Do you spend time enjoying wins?
-We addressed that – let’s enjoy the wins and not get back onto the stress game. Play 82 games – stay the coarse and don’t be on roller coaster. Enjoy being in the NHL.

[Duffalufagus]

Rome is a hack? Are you people serious? He is a 1st ballot Hall of Fame radio guy. I mean he's no Rob Kerr or anything...lmao.

[BlackWallStreet]

Listening to the Jim Rome show makes me have needs

Didn't mind Rome in the past, and Rome still has great interviews, but I can't stand the stuff between interviews now.

Too much talk about clones, too much talk about smackoff plugs, and way too full of him self most of the time. He is a great interviewer but when it's just him trying to fill the air time it's horrible.

Can you get past his horrid misogyny and the endless self-congratulatory back slapping about his gambling picks?
Poor hockey takes do not make up for that.

Rome fan here, as well as a big fan of Amy Lawrence.
I also like my sports radio to focus on more than hockey and hockey athletes.

Thanks for detailed summary!

Stuck with him on the Fire GG poll since he was a players coach and understood the room with emotional bank stored up for something like a sticking throwing motivator. Like his style even more after this interview. Understand why BT hired him.

Can only imagine the frustrations of misery state all coaches face regularly.

Really interesting to here his coaches are facilitators by end of the regular season comment. Hope he is right on that for playoff run!

Based on the "family" philosophy mentioned (ie. birthday celebrations), this organization has its act together on many levels. Results beginning to follow...

[taco.vidal]

Its funny that the crew around here thinks Rome is a hack but then theres much love for junk like Fan960’s morning show with clowns like Boomer who can barely talk sports and can ruin interviews with interesting people like Freidman.
