Maybe Marek was using a drone to spy on teams' tables at the draft...

You're the most negative, cynical poster I've read on CP in years, lol. Everything is anger, hate and annoyance.

Funny you should mention that.

That’s my impression of your contribution.

Yeah, mine's not great, either. I tend to post when I have something negative to say and skip posting all the positive, good stuff, it's weird.

If it makes you feel better I wouldn’t take his opinion seriously as Boreal likes to send me angry hateful messages every few months lol.

It's been clear for a few years that Amber is being groomed to take over McLean's role, and Amber has turned into the having some of the same rambling, scatterbrained attempted story telling and cringey/over the top comments that Ron revels in.
Why cant they hire someone who doesnt have a raging Oilers boner and is just normal?

That’s pretty wild. He’s always been a guy who says the right thing. Also with statistical anomalies picking up on people getting it right too much you would think he would know better. It can kinda ruin his reputation as well. Surprising if true.

Kind of weird on how you even execute on that with the level of inside info he'd have.

If it's prior to the draft the insiders are all speculating on who teams like and what players a team may pick for weeks leading up to the draft, so not sure how certain that information would be to action a bet off it.

And then at the draft the insiders across the NBA, NHL, NFL, etc are all trying to leak the pick first and generally do it before the pick is made public. So they generally lock down betting at some period before the draft or pick is made for that reason.

The only one that makes sense to me is if he 100% knew the Ducks were going with Sennecke, I bet you could have made a pile.

They had someone who did that, asked inciteful question and let the experts answer them without giving his input. But they had to fire him because Ron MacLean was whining.

So here we are with two of the most obnoxious broadcasters in sports on the main hockey program.

Heard the same. A less violent version that this scene occurred at the sphere.

It's always funny when a poster whose sole purpose on the forum appears to be drawing the ire of others, seems genuinely surprised to receive the negative feedback.

Was scrolling through instagram comments on this and a particularly funny one went undetected.

“I heard he was talking to minors”

Might be a few jr. scouts losing their job out of this.

Oilers new hires soon I’m sure.
