Edmunds can speak on MLB...he has spent years covering minor ball and MLB. He is as knowledgable as most scribes that write/talk about it. Not entirely accurate. He covered the Goldeyes for 19 seasons -- thats it. I agree he has the knowledge of that level of baseball; he never did MLB games. TSN1290 acquired the Blue Jays broadcasting rights; so it makes sense for them to pick up a baseball resource, but Paul never actually called an MLB game...he just covered it like any local scribe would. But I respect your opinion and you are in your right to disagree w/ mine. As far as the Morning Show is considered, between Liebel, Westwood, and Edmonds, they can knowledgably cover minor ball (Goldeyes of which will be switching their rights over to 100.7FM -- so you won't hear a lot of coverage on TSN1290), and the CFL. None of the 3 have any NHL ties whatsover! Liebel is as useless as man-teets! The three of them have as much right as I do on commenting on the NHL. This is where I see the gap! I suggest keeping Westwood (CFL/NFL), Edmonds (MLB/minor-ball), and replace Liebel w/ a hockey expert! A former player or coach or even local NHL scribe would suffice. Current morning show lacks that insight right now. TSN1290 has official rights to Winnipeg Jets -- yet they haven't yet secured a hockey expert for their morning show. It boggles my mind. Again...just my opinions; not worth much but I do thing Winnipeg Jet fans are not being well-served via the Morning Show. The other shows are good to great...but the Morning Show is poor in my mind. what are your thoughts on the Ilegal Curve?? not one of those guys played pro. should they also be removed?

what are your thoughts on the Ilegal Curve?? not one of those guys played pro. should they also be removed? I LUV the Illegal Curve -- Why? B/c they market themselves as a Hockey show and guess what they cover -- HOCKEY! These guys deliver and there is DEFINITE chemistry w/ all the contributors to the show. I've been a fan since day one, and which they would take over the station in my opinion. They bring in knowledgable guests, they do they're homework, they probably have one of the best aggregate hockey news websites on the internet, and you can tell that they know and love what they are talking about. Now...if the Illegal Curve were to talk 2 hrs about CFL football or Baseball, I would hate it and be angry. But b/c the Illegal Curve guys provide great content, good chemistry & humour, and are fabulous at Social Media...I see them eventually being able to take their show to any other radio station should 1290 TSN ever fold. Between Hustler & Lawless & the Illegal Curve show, the station would be in big trouble. If it were up to me, I'd cancel the Morning show altogether and try a different format: 1 Power Hour of Hockey Talk (Illegal Curve boyz), 1 Hour of Football Talk (Westwood), 1 hour of All other Sports(Edmonds/Liebel). That's your morning show. People tune into the sports their interested in and commentators play on their strengths not expose their faults.

I haven't heard Matt Lieble on lately, has he been canned as well? I can take him in small doses but sometimes he comes off as too smug and whiny at the same time!

The morning show is good as is. They often talk about the same (or similar) subjects because people are getting up and driving to work at different times. Well the same could be said for the drive home, that 4-6 time slot was under-served. In fact, in many ways it was Marty Gold's show on the Red River Campus station that made people realise the time slot was underserved.

Now that Edmonds is gone,we're stuck with Liebel and Westwood. The show really sucks with these two.

Paul Edmonds voice is good when the play is just "moving along" you know? BUt as soon as the excitement gets in his voice, it breaks apart. its like he has no air.better than Munz?.....yes, i guess.

We should be thankful that we have what we have, after listening to that debauchery on CBC / Sportsnet.

I hate the vasectomy commercials. That commercial drives me nuts! , I was thinking , why doesn't sportsnet hire kielback to call a few games a year , sure he is old , but what is bob cole 108? , Also I wonder if we will ever hear chris cuthbert call a NHL game again.
