Just because someone asked:
I would think another @DanRussellST type of program from 10-Midnight 'could' generate revenue for a radio satiation, depending on the host. You don't have to have 2 people. Someone could easily fly solo. It's not hard. And it keeps costs down.
Brook Ward@brookwardsports
Serious question. Would love your takes on it. Canucks just lost a radio station which talked Canucks 24/7. How much do you think they are bothered by this?

Even while averaging only 11:08 of ice time per game in the 2025 playoffs (a season in which he had 60 points and playing 18:15 in the regular season), Marco Rossi still found a way to be tied in 5th for points on the Wild, along with Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello.
He had more goals than them, too.
Rossi is a good player. 60 points is nothing to scoff at. Don't blame Rossi for Evason's poor lineup management.

I think a lot of Canucks fans are overrating Marco Rossi. He’s a 25 year old 5’9 Centre that couldn’t crack the top 6 for Minnesota in the playoffs. I’d be very shocked if he ever reaches anything above 65pts in a season.

@sekeresandprice @mattsekeres @justBlakePrice @RobTheHockeyGuy @YellowDogBeer This is why trades like this should be made at or around the draft. And consider the 2027 draft.
Not trading a top 4, minute-eating D for Wright if Malhotra and 2027 first round pick are also centres.
If traded Wright for Wilander at the draft, then pick Reid third overall.

@ThomasDrance Amazing! The words “Tkachuk” and “insight” have never been used in the same sentence before…
English
Matthew Tkachuk is actually providing fascinating insight here into something the Panthers are smarter about than everyone else (staggering signing bonus payments to enhance their destination status and shave $ off of AAVs, without crushing ownership on July 1).
Wingmen with Matthew and Brady Tkachuk@Wingmenpod
Nothing like a July 1st glance at the bank account 🤣💵 Brady & Matthew break down how payday works in the NHL.

@mattsekeres Isn’t he a bit of a prima donna?
HE thinks he is better than he really is?
Not sure he’s the “culture carrier” the team wants unless the new leadership can change that.
English
Yes. Exactly the sort of player profile the Canucks should be looking at.
Whether the acquisition is worthwhile is something they should absolutely explore. And if they can obtain him for a salaried veteran, that would make ownership happy, too.

Does Shane Wright make sense for the rebuilding #Canucks? #SeaKraken

Published a pair of mega #Canucks mailbags over the weekend.

On July 7th, Rogers shut down Sportsnet 650 and left British Columbia with zero dedicated sports radio.
We're building the replacement. And this time, the fans own it.
Here's the plan 🧵

@brookwardsports @DanRussellST A sports show from 9pm-11pm every weekday extending to 1130pm on game nights/weekends would do very well in this market. Not only live but for the morning listeners. There is a massive void for those who consume sports news in the mornings & don’t want the prior days podcasts.

@BCSportsNetwrk @jrdnsvge But who are you?
I assume from the people that follow you that you are legit. Can you give us any type of assurance?
English
Need everyone to fill out the survey from @BCSportsNetwrk so we can get this thing off the ground and keep our sports coverage local and out of the hands of the suits in Toronto

@CuplessLosers @KelsoDylan For sure. We are working through all cost structures now. More to share soon!

The discourse around Vancouver sports radio is hilarious. Apparently some businesses are allowed to make money, while others that don't make money ought to run as charities.

Death, taxes, and irrational tweets from Brendan Batchelor while watching England play football are the only certainties in life. x.com/batchhockey/st…
Brendan Batchelor@BatchHockey
So foul in the buildup is used to help Argentina, but not England, I guess? The arbitrary use of VAR at this World Cup has been ridiculous.

@CanucksOnly If the Canucks get Bedard via an unmatched offer sheet, they would not have the draft capital to offer sheet Celebrini. Compensation is the teams OWN four 1st rd picks over 5 years.
Key to a Bedard offer? 4 yrs! Walks him straight into UFA. Even if Hawks match, sign him then.
English
Connor Bedard is offersheet-able.
So is...Macklin Celebrini (next year)
Both want to be Canucks.
Make it happen now?
Or wait 5 years (Leo Carlsson contract length)
Canucks Only.
We're fans just like you.
Youtube and Spotify.
Your choice.

@sekeresandprice @mattsekeres @justBlakePrice @SEllisHockey @bet365ca How does his four year contract with CSKA Moscow affect his draft positioning?
English
A lot of people are excited about the size and skill of Nazar Privalov next year. He could go 1st overall.

@davehall1289 @tyson_cole @jacobfraser_9 Informative
Entertaining
Fresh
Necessary
Hope you are planning on continuing the show throughout the year. Need updates on how the prospects are developing in their various leagues and need insight into the players who deserve our attention early in regard to next years draft.
English
Just wanted to deeply thank everyone for their support of the Blackfish Prospect Show getting off the ground – it was felt and appreciated.
It has been a blast recording with @tyson_cole and @jacobfraser_9. They are both incredible teamates.

With Blue Jays on road this weekend, then Vlad Guerrero will end the "first half" with no home runs at home. His splits:
HOME: 44GP, 41H, 72B, 0HR and .259/.368/.304
ROAD: 44GP, 44H, 52B, 5HR and .263/.317/.395
No power at home. Wild.

Still strange to think Canuck radio games will likely be heard on JACK 96.9 or KiSS 104.9 next year. Canuck games on FM? Weird. Then again @DanRussellST SportsTalk ran on Rock 101 for years even though some back then felt the show wouldn't fly on FM. Different era then though.

@sekeresandprice No SN650.
No S and P.
Where is this addict supposed to get his fix!!!???

🚨REMINDER🚨
There will be no live show today and tomorrow, as we are doing some studio upgrades.
