  • Dilution

    Thank you for speaking truth to dilution and the fact today’s league is so much stronger than the 70’s and Gretzky’s era. The other factor is the continuing increase in Canadian minor hockey registration.

  • Biased Reporting

    Thought I was listening to Locked on Oilers the way these two were glazing the Oilers. No mention of how the Panthers are playing so well. Had the audacity to criticize Bob after 30 minutes of praising Skinner. Lame show.
