Team 1040 is losing me as a listening on the morning drive to work.
First Bro Jake is talking about the high stick, and he didn't even know Sam Gagne's name. Pratt had to cut in and say Sam's name, then Pratt goes off on that rant about the high stick being intentional and saying Kessel is a coward and the Leafs should let him walk at the end of the season.

Yea it's fucking terrible radio right now, part of me wants to turn off the radio to stop supporting them but listening then I just tweet the team/the hosts about mistakes and how brutal they are

Pratt just tries to be his typical antagonist but his opinions aren't even opinions he states them as fact then they get Aaron ward and he goes off on the complete
Opposite opinion on both Kessel and Kassian then they get anther former NHLer and he says the same thing!

So you've got two bozos who don't know wtf they are talking about and then sekeres comes on and backs the NHLers lol fuck it's painful

I think it's a combination of Pratt being the usual antagonist mixed in with his opinions that are sometimes controversial. The guy should really think about what he says before opening his mouth on the radio.


If Pratt was in Kessel's skates and facing John Scott, would he even dare to fight the big guy? It is so easy for the fat ass Pratt to make those comments in the safety of a sports radio studio when you are not the guy who has to face a 6 foot 7, 270 pound goon on the ice.

He's trying too hard to be controversial so that he can help increase Team1040's ratings, and improve his job security. -sort of like a poor man's Howard Stern.

Scott would pummel Pratt to the ice for sure. :)

Yeah, true enough. I guess I'm thinking more on the extreme side, that I think 4+ games or whatever would be kind of ridiculous. Duncan Keith got 1 for his slash at Jeff Carter's face, so I think 1 would be appropriate here too.

I haven't been keeping up to date with this, but why did the team1040 hire Bro Jake and Pratt?
I feel bad for Rentool (sp?) being moved to 9 pm - midnight especially with a baby on the way.
I recall they also said some other long time radio host was let go from the team.

At least they still have Manny doing the news on 1040. That guy is hilarious.
As for Bro Jake, he's not horrible. Definitely not good, but also not horrible.

Also, Miller vs Bernier was epic. I never thought of Miller as a fighter, but he got in there. Bernier won it though.

Every time I hear about Pratt's rants, I can't help but remember him walking off after his argument with Don Taylor about poker being a sport. LOL

LOL at the media hate and lousy radio.
It's why I avoid them all and just read info that's posted in here.
At least if something stupid gets posted, it will have a lot of fails so I will know to skip that post.

RS = idiot filter (sorta... even though a lot of dumb things still slip through)

Leafs sign mayray to a one year deal.

Morrow for 1.5M is a fucking steal.

may ray is a traitor haha jk

Teams that only matter this season are:

West:
Chicago, Kings, Canucks , rise of Oilers

East:
Red Wings, Bruins, Penguins, Leafs

Wings vs Hawks in cup finals would be good!

mayray 1 year 1mil

problem is, they still punish based on injury and not the act itself. he'll get more than 1 game.

Anyone have a vid of kassian's slash?
Posted via RS Mobile

The league's disciplinary system for determining the punishment for player infractions is flawed.

Heck, Shanahan should just spin a wheel and choose what kind of punishment comes up at the top of the wheel. Wheel of misfortune.

Perhaps that TSN monkey Maggie can help Shanny out.:)

Your insight on hockey is terrible as usual

From Bob Mackenzie's twitter:

VAN's Zack Kassian gets 5 regular season games and rest of pre-season for highsticking Gagner.

Hearing VAN's Weise suspended for balance of pre-season for hit on EDM's Taylor Hall. Awaiting announcement from NHL.

Ann Schmaltz ‏@annschmaltz 1m

Looks like Weise will miss remainder of preseason for hit on Oilers Taylor Hall. Kassian gets eight games for swinging stick at Sam Gagner.

Eight? Wowz

damn thats a lot of games for kassian

if kassian gets 8 on a play where he didnt purposely try to hit him with the stick, does kessel get 20+ then? horrible decision makers
