Because he couldn't get childcare while his wife works? Who knows.

Listening to Overtime for the first time this year while I'm getting some work done. I guess it's an abbreviated version now because i thought they were getting rid of it?

Anyway let's face it, it's a whole lot more entertaining when callers are angry than people calling in with the old "I just wanted to congratulate the team on playing well".

This is pretty lame. No gif's on the radio I guess.

They don't know what they're doing. It's on, it's off, it's abbreviated... I listen from the states so I appreciate any Flams hockey stuff. I just miss that old lady from overtime

Maybe I just have poor timing of tuning in, but are the flames EVER a topic of discussion on this new Marek Show?

Occasionally. I actually don't mind the show as it's less Leafs-centric than I thought it would be and he covers news around the league. We get enough Flames talk early morning and afternoon anyway.

Some of the Overtime shows weren't even 10 minutes long pre-pandemic.

I'd vote Conroy, but I'd also guess that he has instructions to not go on the show until the Eichel saga is over, one way or another.

Who's this wanker on the Marek show?

"Great start for the Flames, but its a 6 game snapshot. Let's wait until game 20 after some losses pile up to say anything"

"The Oilers, well we all expected them to be near the top of the standings, and here they are at 5-0."

So the wait and see "snopshot" logic applies to the team beating good teams on the road, but not the one with the easy schedule beating bad and beat up clubs?

These something specials are an endemic across Sportsnet TV and radio.

That was Ryan Leslie, Sportsnet’s host for Flames games.

No it wasn’t it was some producer of the show with Marek who made those comments

Can they stop playing that commercial where they have Friedman saying that the Flames have just traded Tkachuck and Gaudreau... my stomach jumps a bit every time I hear it.

My guess is the pickings are pretty slim.
