Agreed could definitely use another babyface, drance is kinda on an island all alone.

It's kind of like that scene from Reservoir Dogs these days. Everyone wants to be Mr Black. Well, somebody has to be Mr Pink or we don't have a game.

Young journo students should look to Iain McIntyre for inspiration. He's had a great run without ever turning heel.

Oh, I think he's been doing a bit of pot stirring himself the last couple years.

Benning promoted Brackett to the top job a year after inheriting him from Mike Gillis’ scouting staff.
:shock:

I've been pissed a couple times this year with Imac

I think you don’t understand what a pot stirrer is. I Mac is very pro management.

Like how Gallagher was pro management when his buddy Gillis was at the helm, Vincenzo Skully?

He absolutely was. The media guys are a pile of flip flippers for the most part. But I Mac is like a loyal puppy to this administration. He isn’t capable of stirring the pot. Though he did loathe Gillis and was devastated when the Cheeseburgular got canned.

The 1040 crowd still love Gillis, especially Sekeres and Price. They can’t stand Benning, just like the Athletic whipper snappers like Dayal and Burke. To be honest, IMac is a relief compared to the barf that is being puked out about Benning from Day 1

I don’t like the constant bashing from 1040. But they all flip flop. That’s what I’m saying. I Mac acted like a fool when Dave Nonis got canned. Gallagher hated Quinn and Burke but loved Gillis. It’s hard to take any of them serious. Gary Mason was the last good read in this town. Farhan is pretty good on the radio and Murph is aces on TV. Other than that they pretty much all suck. Rintoul isn’t bad but his voice is ultra creepy.

To be more honest, Benning deserved a lot of the lumps he took in this market during his first three years on the job. He doesn’t however, deserve all the shit he’s taking now from the media and the inbreds at hfboards.

Vancouver is a huge market with zero credible media talent save possibly farhan lalji but he leans away from venturing an opinion imo.

Cowgrease has jason gregor and coilerville has bob stauffer...both are top shelf reporters who have a balanced perspective.

If you guys want to listen in sometime stauffer is on 650 ched and and gregor is 960 the fan. 960 does a daily around the league segment around 1 mountain time mon-fri which is good. Usually intetview shorty or lalji for the canucks
