If TSN could operate podcasts properly, I might listen more.

EDIT: For example, there's two Leafs Lunch podcasts. There's no rhyme or reason as to which one gets updated. One seemed to be updating until March 1st. Then the one podcast that hasn't had any new episodes since February 18th starts getting the March episodes.

How hard is this shit? If Sportsnet can handle it, surely TSN can handle it.

Benning: There's a website for NHL GMs to post players that are available. Every team does it. For some reason our lists get leaked to media

It's insane how little TSN focuses on that. I had the same issues with the TSN1290 podcasts, specifically the Jets Lunch one, because it was totally random and often not uploaded or updated late and wrong.

I actually complained on Twitter to the host and the producer of the show tweeted me back a couple of times for details. He got the RSS/soundcloud/metadata issues sorted out in a few hours which was nice, but it made me realize the dude who actually produces the show on the radio had to do alllllll the podcast/internet stuff for it himself and he hadn't realized some of it wasn't working. Good on him for responding and actually sorting it all out on the weekend though. Pretty telling that TSN doesn't seem to consider it a priority at all.

Lone, not sure. I'd imagine so.

it means we'll end up spending all our money on Price, Pacioretty and Galchenyuk and stay stuck in a losing cycle forever

I'm Price #1 fan but I don't really believe he can win a cup by himself, this era is over... Galchenyuk is doing fine, but he's going to cost us a lot, so will Pacioretty and I don't think he's the captain we need

I feel like we're heading straight into cap hell and Bergevin won't do anything about it

A team that has missed the playoffs once in the last 7 years and is just now entering the "losing cycle"? A team that has an entirely reasonable cap situation unlike many teams? The Canucks became shitty because they had their success while their core was already getting old and the organization wasn't bringing in young/cheap/skilled players to support them, not because they became too expensive. And look at the Hawks. Their core has been very expensive, but they've managed to remain competitive by cycling talent in and out and not paying their support players what they feel they deserve.

don't take it like that :( Canucks are like #2 or #3 in my heart, I just meant you guys missed the window (not by much) and now I don't see you winning a cup without going through a rebuild. The way I see it you're in no man's land. Middle of the pack, decent but aging core, and nothing will change until you crash and burn

Well, they're crashing and burning right now. I guess you're suggesting that they need top 5 picks to really turn things around. That may be true. It's definitely what I'd prefer but I don't think it's what the organization has in mind. So hopefully in a few years our youngsters have turned into top 6 fwds and top 2 dman and elite goaltenders and we can fill the holes with trades and free agents....

Matthews save us now
