Lucic had his thumb right on Tkachuk's throat. Can't recall which game between the Oil/Flames it was off the top of my head.

I liked Mike Commodore when he was on, but he was easily confused with Brunt...Voices are so similar!

On another note, Derek Wills is THE WORST. If he has anything critical to say, he is just echoing what Peter Loubardias is saying, and his default answer is super positive/biased/benefit of the doubt. I'm glad Mike Smith and James Neal are gone just so i don't have to hear him defend them anymore.

mahr wasnt overly critical of the flames, but it was because he took the phrase "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all" to heart vs blatant over the top homerism

I have to change the station when he comes on. They asked him yesterday if terminating the PTO for MacDonald and keeping Kylington was the right move and I knew how he was going to answer before he spoke. Of course the organization made the correct decision...

I get that he is in a tough spot being that he is always with the team but his segments detract from the quality of the hockey talk for me.

Nice guy Wills, but no he's not an NHL quality broadcaster.

Kirch won't do anything because they likely got him on the cheap. Carry on 960.

Wills delivers a good call. It is all the stuff in between games that is sub-par.

For the record Maher was never overly critical of the Flames. He may agree with his color man that they were bad after a game but you would never hear him put a negative spin on the team. It's part of the reason why he was not a great insider.
But Peter had insight.

It’s not the negativity I care about. It’s the blatant water carrying propaganda. Just don’t spout fantastical BS.

It makes him a joke. Even if he has something insightful to say, I don’t give it credence because I’ve lost trust in his analysis.

I think my all-time favourite segment was when Pinder called out and proceeded to dump on Wills for 15 min for his "You gotta get Mike Smith starts for confidence" take...

I would love to have an off the record conversation with his peers.

This is crazy.

Steinberg and Nault are discussing Edmonton's decision to start Mike Smith over Mikko Kostin'em. Sternberg says it's a bad sign after the big commitment to Kostin'em. He calls him the Oilers's "goalie of the future."

Nault disagrees. He says that Smith was pencilled in from day one given his history with Dave Tippett, who was always going to go with the veteran goalie.

"Goalie of the future"? Not a "veteran goalie"? These guys do realize that Kostin'em is 31-years-old, right?

That $13.5 m contract is amazing.

He delivers an OK call, IMO. He has a good radio voice and is smooth but I don’t really get an idea he has a feel for the game. And Jiri has pointed this out before, but do you really get pumped up by his goal calls?

Yeah I’ve listened to 969 more in the last month than I ever have and notice Pinder is a bit of an ass. That must be why I like many of his takes.

Why do we have to listen to Loubardias every single day? Sure, he's definitely knowledgeable to no end about the game and players, but his segment doesn't listen as a discussion and instead it comes across like a rant. When it's every day I kind of want to tune out.

Maybe it's just because I'm sick and have a headache.

Because if we didn't, it would be Wills.

I hate to defend the guy, but did you listen to that SJ PBP guy? EK65??! What the hell was that.

The San Jose radio guy is a dork with a bad voice.

That was horrifying to listen to. Almost as bad as Edmonton's used car salesman.
