Fantomex Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 1 hour ago, Bob Long said: I just can't help but wonder what happens to Bieksa if he did this about Toronto. He's not that stupid, so it's an academic question, but I still wonder. That is just it, if any other analyst said that about any other team, it would still be unacceptable. It's completely unprofessional. No media head worth his salt would ever make such moronic comments on record. This guy doesn't deserve the privileged of working on the national stage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) 4 hours ago, -dlc- said: It is a sour note and it's normal, but a bit more extreme for reasons like: 1. The dirty crap that was ignored in our series vs the Oilers (yet they whined throughout at the refs) 2. The fact that arrogant Leon was smug about "goaltending/goalposts". Like most give respect where it's due but not Mr. Slewfoot. 3. Oilers SHOULD be ahead of this team with their golden picks. They're my new #1 hated team. Yes, above the Leafs AND the Bruins. With number 3, that should be highlighted along with the fact that game 7 could have gone the other way. It just didn't. That Edmonton team that should be ahead of this team with their golden picks could have lost to us just as easily as have won. Unfortunately, I did notice an arrogance about that fanbase just before the series and I wouldn't be surprised if they become insufferable if they win the cup.

I have no problem having Hrudey cheering for Calgary, Gazdic for Edmonton, Bieksa for Van. It makes for a fun banter and it is a better representation of fandom. Everyone is required to cheer for Toronto and Montreal, that is the nature of the media. Yes, it is ok to be biased, but there is no room for being OBNOXIOUS. I think that's the issue. Bieksa is for sure a fan of Vancouver, but I haven't seen him bash any fanbase or any team while he's analyzing. He genuinely tries to understand each team that he talks about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about calling another team and their fans/city losers: Quote you're an absolute joke, your team's a joke, you're a bunch of losers This is not great commentary from a guy who now makes his living delivering...commentary. Choose your words wisely. Especially when some consider the diving and whining from his team an absolute joke and loser stuff.

Yes, but that's the difference. You can be biased, especially as a team broadcaster, but NOT to the point of bashing teams or players, as you said. Garrett has always been classy with his observations and he never stops complimenting another team's players. Sometimes he'll bluntly say that a team is "not very good", but he won't go out of his way to prop up the team at the expense of another team.

The difference is Whitney is a shrewd business man using his comments to create podcast traffic. Luke Gazdic had nothing to gain. This is nothing more than pure hatred. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
