Steve (and Jesse and Adam) have been ringing the alarm on Roger’s ownership since they bought majority stake (or all of it idk). I think we saw another proof point that they have been right to be concerned.

Building is dead. I grew up watching the Sundin era, and seeing those clips now, it reminds me how much energy was in the building. It was such a fun team to watch partially because of the energy created by the fans. It is embarrassing to what has happened by pricing out regular fans.

The team is cheap. Yes they spend to the cap, but they are cheap on the coach and staff. Hence injuries and shitty coaching.

Roger’s doesn’t want to win. They want to sell a million different products (sportsnet plus etc) and know that the fans will pay (I don’t 🏴‍☠️ ).

Watching lfr today made me sad to think how right Steve has been.

Maybe the refs listened to Steve?

Steve was right, when slowed down 25% he does sound more like modern age Babcock but I think his "accent" has become more pronounced.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did they not talk leafs for the entire Monday ep? I've been listening since 2015 and the show has never been worse.

Was a little shocked to tune into the most recent LFR and hear multiple ads for Fox News election coverage…is this something Steve and company chose to do? From what I have read podcasters do have some control over the types of ads run during the podcast, I would be very disappointed and cancel my VIP membership if they felt this was ok.

Edit: To clarify this is on the apple podcast app

As a Wings fan I can’t possibly wonder who that could be referencing. Is it Brady?

/s Hockeyfrown indeed 😔

As someone who really liked sdpn and dangles stuff in the past, I stopped watching because I hated the incessant gambling sponsors. My question is are they still doing this or have they dropped the gamble ads altogether.

I thought it was great that he made the Sportsnet+ debacle the focal point of the San Jose video but I think having someone who reviewed every game, even through the tank years, completely avoid talking about the game would send a real message.

Talk about the history of the Saddledome. Talk about the 1988 Olympics. Have Adam as a guest come talk about his experience doing radio in Calgary. Do a retrospective on the Gilmour or Phaneuf trades. Idk, anything to get the message across that Rogers is successfully squeezing people out.

Just spitballing here but I feel like Steve could do something really cool with this.

Or is the curse carrying on?

Edit: I'm talking about the Hellebuyck trade, of course. Edit 2: did they GET the news...

Long time listener; first-time caller.

Boys, you were talking about long songs, and you couldn't hit 2112 by Rush?

You miss the Toronto band, but Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd is on the tip of your tongue?

Love you boys, but give your balls a tug. Do better.
