He can chuck knuckles better then Dorsett..

Shane Doan announces his retirement after a 21 year career in the NHL.

I don't know... IMO, that shafting in the Heritage Classic was pretty bad. To be honest, a part of my enthusiasm as a Canuck fan died that day and I haven't been the same as a fan since.

According to Botchford the Horvat deal is a bridge deal

So here's the new Radio lineup.

TSN 1040’S LINEUP

5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.: Bro Jake and David Pratt

9 a.m. to noon: Mike Halford and Jason Brough

Noon to 3 p.m.: Don Taylor and Bob Marjanovich

3 p.m. to 7 p.m.: Matt Sekeres and Blake Price

SPORTSNET 650’s LINEUP

5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.: James Cybulski, Steve Darling and Mira Laurence

9 a.m. to noon: Satiar Shah and Jawn Jang

Noon to 1 p.m.: Shah

1 p.m. to 4 p.m.: Perry Solkowski and Randip Janda

4 p.m. to 7 p.m.: Andrew Walker and Scott Rintoul

Which segments are people most likely going to tune in to?

The 9 - noon slot battle between the Kurtenbloggers and Sat will be an interesting one, because both stations have legit good radio people in that time slot.

The 3-7/4-7pm slot will be another close one. Smart move by 1040 to start their show an hour early and hope that listeners just continue to tune in for the rest of the show because they've already 'invested' an hour into it. Price/Sekeres combo is pretty good listening on the evening drive home, but Scott Rintoul is also another really good local born radio personality. I find him to be one of the most level headed guys in this entire lineup. Time will tell how well he does with Andrew Walker.

Fuck Walker, but Sekeres and Price can be too full of themselves, so not an empty net. Either way, much better than Taylor, BMac, and Moj talking about nonsense.

Who is Jawn Jang? :considered:

What happens if Shah and Jang have a program segment where they take calls from listeners who want to ask a guest some questions?

Some callers call and ask questions in Cantonese/Mandarin. :lawl:

Canucks sign Vanek to 1 year $2M deal

So Thomas Vanek just signed with the canucks 1yr 2 mill...

More picks for the deadline!

I don't mind it.

Better then the Loui deal lol.

I don't really feel this one, we have a massive glut of forwards that will be trying to make the team next month and now Vanek is basically guaranteed one of those spots... are we a rebuilding team? Or are we trying to win now? Signing doesn't make too much sense to me.

Signing of Vanek shows that management does not think some of the young guys are ready...or they just want to make the young guys earn their spots and not just given to them.

^signing vanek isn't going to mean they are going to win now...just maybe try and stay competitive and help the pp. Only 1 year deal so not that bad...

not a bad deal tbh

i'd laugh pretty hard if he outperforms Loui by miles

I think that'll be one of the things I'll be looking forward to seeing this season.

I think that's a smart call, make the young guys earn the spots and if not they can play for the Comets and get the ice time and experience they need. I think its a fantastic thing they are not trying to rush them.

Not only that this will be perfect for trade deadline deals

Vanek put up 48 points in 68 games last year, at least 40 every year since he came into the league. He's never been a great skater (and moreso now with age) and he's never been a solid defender, but he's still one of the best net-front guys in the league. Hopefully Gadjovich can pick a few things up from him in camp.

Seems like Vanek fits with the others who had similar stats before coming here...

Eriksson, Vrbata, Booth, Demitra (RIP) are some that come to mind.

Hopefully he does better...

Man with the Vanek signing, Utica Comet sure got a good team going.

make them young guys earn the spots I like it. Hopefully Vanek pulls a vrbata and puts up some points..

^read about comments..

i'm okay with this. would like to see him help bo and bae with their offensive game.

a little excited to see what the lineup will be. does vanek and gagner get thrown onto sutter's line? and then we get a bae, bo, boeser line?
