st33 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/jeff-marek-no-longer-works-for-rogers-sportsnet I thought he was a decent broadcaster actually. Would catch some of his show on 650 when driving after the local shows ended, and while Leaf heavy at times (understandable) it had good content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Wonder if they came into the studio and told him to get out, immediately; like has been done to others, nation wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 He’s too good for those hacks. If you’re not Leafs or Oilers knob slobbers then you’re not cut out for them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably had a negative take on the Oilers hiring Bowman. They do the same thing with anyone that speaks against the greatest franchise to ever exist in the Leafs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did give the Canucks a lot of attention this year. As he did most every team, he showed little favoritism and made sure everything was covered and promoted including woman's hockey. One of the biggest hockey historians I ever heard. He will be missed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancan Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I bet they kept The real Kipper and Bourne show though. aka Leafs talk. Unless your a TO fan, do yourself a favor and not watch/listen. Well only on Fridays, they always have a half drunk Doug Maclean on sitting at some resort or golf club, and its hilarious. Anyway... We've been seeing it for decades with CBC, TSN, etc, if its a national broadcast in any medium at all, and not mostly about the Leafs, it wont last long. Surprised HNIC still has the Saturday double header, after the leafs guaranteed prime time Saturday early slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 26 Popular Post Share Posted July 26 I truly respect Jeff Marek. He is a hockey encyclopedia and has very fair takes. He is well informed in the league and of all team's business. Truly a loss on sportnet's part here losing Jeff. Frankly Sportsnet is a joke of a company. You keep clowns like Ron Mclean and Luke Gazdic and you part with Jeff Marek? Lunancy I tell you. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Marek hasn't tweeted since the draft. A shame if he's gone, 32 thoughts by him and Elliotte are the best Sportsnet has after Bieksa. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 85 years old I'm pretty sure he's enjoying retirement. I would not ask for a near 90 year old Jim Robson to do a play by play. (But damn would it be great for a pre-season game just for nostalgia's sake, Shorty can work with him) But Jim is a perfectionist and probably wouldn't want to do it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised HNIC still has the Saturday double header, after the leafs guaranteed prime time Saturday early slot. It's a 2 hour show. The first hour is mostly about the Leafs, the 2nd hour covers the rest of the league. 650 only played the 2nd hour between 2 & 3 weekdays. I started listening this spring and it's certainly better than most of the local hacks they have killing air time. And Doug Maclean is such a ham. Lots of laughs.

Smashian Kassian Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Absurd decision. 32 thoughts was the best thing Sportsnet had going across all networks. And the Jeff Marek Show was the best national show they had imo. Throwing that in the trash over (seemingly) a despute/incident is a bad self-inflicted wound. Massive mistake by SN imo. Their era of dominance will end soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsnet has committed to the Oilers. I don't want to lose Shorty or have some no name schmuck call the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them nuke SN Pacific and stick us full time with West that annoying Edmonton homer group. What I'd love to see is the Canucks do their own streaming. Not sure if that's possible, but if I had a vote it would be for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Elliotte were supposed to host their finale or something and they never even got around to that. I think the last episode was done without him if I remember correctly. He's basically vanished over the past month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
