Updated: February 14th, 2012

10:30 Jack Armstrong – Raptors TV

• ‘Lin-Sanity’ is a whacky phenomenon – there’re will be a huge media presence at the game
• Playing for Mike D’Antoni allows Lin to play in a very free wheeling system
• The bigger question is what will happen with Carmelo Anthony returns
• He just doesn’t look the part, so many teams overlooked him
• A week ago, the Knicks were close to letting him go but due to injuries and circumstance, he’s been given a longer leash and play through some mistakes
• Expect the Raptors to challenge Lin and be physical with him but they need to concentrate on the game and avoid the hype
• When expectations are low, coming out of a lockout, the Raptor crowds have been quite impressive- in the top half of NBA attendance
• Even with the lockout, the NBA has been getting solid support from all over and a big thing for the league is to bring a team back to Vancouver
• Lots of rumours swirling as to wear Steve Nash will end up- was talks of him going to the Knicks but now Lin has thrown a wrench in that- also talks of a reuniting with Colangelo in Toronto.
• Nash is a world class athlete and at 38, he’s not getting the credit he deserves

11:00 Kate Marshall – Possible LFL player

• Not on theVancouverteam yet, but doing some publicity work help getting the word out waiting for tryouts
• Doing the media loop lately- things are still pretty shocking but take the good with the bad
• Women’s rights groups have been contacting her with negative comments
• It may not but full field football like CFL but its still girls hitting each other as hard as they can
• “we don’t wear lingerie, but its still pretty sexy” the uniform is revealing but its built to hold everything in
• If people can get past the “lingerie” aspect, they will see some very talented and athletic women playing football
• Father was a CFL player, brother played for TEAMCanadaat the recent Rugby World Cup
• Pay all depends on attendance and whether you play for aUSteam vs.Canadateam
• Friends and Family 100% supporting her

11:30- Darren Dreger- TSN NHL Insider

• Look for Rick Nash to avoid trade talks after saying “I’m a Blue Jacket right now”
• Nash holds all the cards right now- is he looking for a specific city or team?
• There is no one team that’s ahead of the pack but the lure ofNew York Cityalways has pull with all players
• Can’t dismiss the Flyers but look for Rick Nash to dissect every offer that’s put to him
• Can’t imagine that Mike Gillis hasn’t called the Blue Jackets- looks like a deal that would put Corey Schneider into play
• A trade to LA for Jack Johnson and others would be a very strong option
• Any contending team could that could package a deal together will be a deal that’s listened to
• Dealing Nash will have to start a rebuilding process forColumbusso it has to put them in a strong position moving forward
• Teams are a lot tighter with their players getting ready for play-offs so they have to be willing to part with key pieces 
• This will most likely be a deadline day deal- it’s going to take some time
• The Habs are trying to keep something good alive- Cunneyworth’s future is still up in the air but it would take a late play-off push to guarantee his job

12:30- Pierre Lebrun – ESPN/TSN NHL Insider

• Canucks aren’t playing their best but it seems to be good enough and fans should be excited about that – Good Audio
• Nash has given the Jackets a list of teams to shop him to- Jackets GM Howsen will only make the deal if it makes complete sense for them
• Out of 10, Rick Nash is a 9
• When you put him on a stage with a spotlight- like the Olympics- he really steps up and many GMs have that in the back of their minds
• There are lots of teams dangling many carrots out there but the LA Kings are his odds on favorite to win the Nash sweepstakes
• Blackhawks are a team imploding from within and it’s a huge story in the Western Conference
• The loss of Backstrom for the Capitals has been the biggest loss this year- he’s been the most important piece
• Ovechkin has completely lost it- no hunger or drive anymore
• Peter Chiarelli doesn’t get enough credit for managing his cap space this year 

1:00- Michael Garteig – Penticton Vees goalie

• Been quite the ride, best year in hockey so far
• Let the foot of the gas peddle last game vs. Westside, after being up 6-1, ending up wining 7-5- big wake up call- but back to the drawing board
• Streak wasn’t a big deal to him till around game 25 in a row, still try to focus on keeping things simple
• We have the talent to keep winning but our guys are still working extremely hard on and off the ice
• To start, we were a very offensive team but lately our defense has been outstanding and we’re one of the top defensive teams in the league
• Still room for improvement, happy with my game from last year compared to this year
• No clear cut MVP cause we have so many players contributing
• To start the year we were getting 1500 fans and now we’ve got close to 2500 fans- we’re getting so much notice and recognition around town
• Makes its fun and easy to play when the fans are behind you
• We’ll have to step up our game and be able to change it on the fly once play-offs come around
