Vancouver had the team 1040 forever and then it became TSN 1040. The Sportsnet 650 channel where Walker works is only a couple years old I believe.

Anyone else hearing Loubo on 960 right now? Poor Pinder is just exasperated and it’s pretty tedious.

It's hilarious. Totally awkward moment where Pinder tells Luobo he doesn't understand what he's talking about and where he's going with this rant and Loubo agrees to move on. I don't think Loubo even knows what he's talking about as he's not making any sense.

Love Loubo, but good for Pinder to call him out and ask him to say what’s on his mind and it’s ok to call some players out. Then to have Rhett follow up a statement on the same topic too. Though Loubo did seem annoyed at being called out, whilst trying to toe the company line.

This is key. Lets not forget both Barkley and Rogers were canned for not being shills for the organization.

It's pathetic and epic at the same time.

Someone needs to tell him, stop answering questions with questions
people are supposed to be tuning in and listening to you for your expert opinion, even if we disagree. Most of the time I come out from his hit having literally no idea what crux or thesis is on the team.

Lou is an absolutely horrible interview, just beats around the bush, adds zero insight. The man is clearly brilliant when it comes to hockey information but he adds zero value when he just toes the company line.

I'd love to replace his segment, even his voice irks me. As mentioned the questions answered with questions, man couldnt imagine what an annoying interview he would be.

This is kind of true. I still admire Loubo, and if he needs to stay neutral to positive about the team, I can live with that. And he's pretty good at in game color.

But I no longer understand what he's talking about in these between game hits. It's a mix of psychology, philosophy and generic platitudes. Just talk about the hockey itself man.

I’m sure Loubo is a nice guy but my wife could not stand listening to him. Now he’s driving me up the wall. I really don’t like listening to him talk anymore.

Can someone create a Kickstarter for Nault & Francis to start their own podcast?

He’s grown on me as I’m slowly becoming a fan as he’s the most polished guy that’s been on 960 outside of Rome and Richards.

Jim Rome was a much needed change of pace for the station.

They’ll never bring him back, but they should.

Look at Pinder. Stirring the ####, challenging the norm. Good for him. Keep it up!

I wonder how long he will be for the station if he keeps up the criticism of the organization.
