TEAM 1040 SHOWS
 

Blake Price was born in Winnipeg and raised a Jets fan (which explains a lot), but after spending 13 of the last 17 years in Vancouver (and losing the Jets), he now considers the Canucks his hometown team.   TEAM 1040 is Blake's second tour of duty in talk radio, after spending nearly 3 years at the defunct MOJO Sports Radio.  Before that, he spent a downright chilly winter working on TV in Saskatoon, a year on Sportspage in Vancouver, and then 3 years in Toronto working for TSN. And he continues to spout off on TV, working with CTV Sports and TSN.  

From North Vancouver to the NHL, Dave Tomlinson’s 15 year pro career has had it all. With the Toronto Maple Leafs and Grant Fuhr’s bruises, to the Winnipeg Jets and Teemu Selanne’s goals, to the Florida Panthers and Ed Jovanovski’s hits…Dave played with and against the greats in the sport.  Ten years of pro hockey in Europe also gave Dave another perspective on the game, and appearances with Team Canada made him proud to wear the flag. Despite loosing a few teeth, wrecking a shoulder and twisting a wrist beyond repair, Dave gained so much more, that it was worth every bump along the way.

Joined by ex-NHLer Dave Tomlinson each day during the NHL season, Blake Price now takes on the TEAM 1040 mid afternoon show, weekdays, 10am – 2pm.

March 10, 2010   Rundown

 

 

10:30  Jim Hughson -   Hockey Night in Canada

 

 

Once the Canucks started the comeback thought they would win the game

Team has the confidence and ability to comeback when down

Luongo did look bad early in the game but steadied himself and got the win

Think Jannik Hansen has a good game but always seems to be in Vigneault’s doghouse

Hansen has pretty good hands and world class speed just needs to shoot the puck more

Kyle Wellwood and Jannik Hansen make a pretty good third line

Good idea for league to finally tackle head hits – it will take long suspensions to remove it from the game

 

 

 

10:50  Tim Cherry -  son of Don Cherry

Writer and Producer of ‘Keep your Head Up Kid’

 

In 2004 Don Cherry agreed to do a movie about his life

Don Cherry wanted the movie to be true and show his character flaws

Shot the film in Winnipeg

Some of the scenes were tough to watch because it hits too close to home

Film starts with Don Cherry as a 10 year old

It’s difficult to grow up when your dad is a coach of a hockey team – people say negative things about your dad and it hurts

Tim Cherry was behind the bench when the infamous “too many men” call was made in Montreal

He knew that meant his dad would not be back to coach the Bruins after that and so he would have to go to a new school in a new city

Casting his mom and dad was not difficult because the actors chosen were so good

 

 

11:35   Dave Strader  -  voice of the Phoenix Coyotes

 

Canucks versus Coyotes tonight

Game could go two ways:

Canucks could be distracted because they know they are going home soon

Or could be extra motivated to end this long road trip with a bang

Coyotes are playing well and Bryzgalov has been playing very well

Hope to get Mathieu Schneider in the line up soon for the first line power play – he is practicing with the team

Ed Jovanovski has had a good season, when he is engaged physically he is a much better player

They are a top team for getting goals from their defence core

Ownership situation is still not 100% settled

There was not a lot of NHL depth before trade deadline, but Don Maloney added five NHLers so they are in a better position for a playoff push

Starting to get more fans out to the games – will bring back the ‘whiteout’

 

 

12:20  Dave Tomlinson

 

 

Canucks have a confidence to come back in games while trailing

They are tied with Chicago for goals for in the league

Raycroft will play tonight

Last time they played Phoenix it was a very physical game

So might see Hordichuk tonight for toughness and fresh legs

Demitra did not have a good game last night so Samuelsson worked his way up to play with Sedins

Did not think they would be able to comeback last night against Colorado

In the latter part of the game, they were getting pucks to the net and taking more shots

 

 

1:00  John Shorthouse

 

It’s fun to see the confidence in the Canucks right now and their ability to come back when down

To be 4 -1 in this last stretch against very good teams is an impressive road trip record

Expect a tight checking defensive battle against the Coyotes tonight

Kyle Wellwood is picking up his game since the Olympic break

 

 

1:35  Paul Barber  Vancouver White Caps

 

 

Watched a lot of the 2010 Olympics from home in England and it was spectacular

Have good people in management of Whitecaps and commitment from ownership is phenomenal

Major league soccer in Europe is becoming a big deal

The numbers are growing all the time -  more kids playing

The White Caps have a great reputation in England because a lot of ex players from Bob’s time have had good things to say

From spending time here have started to follow hockey and have fallen in love with the game

With a high media profile comes a lot of pressure to deliver

Hope people of BC will get behind and support the White Caps – which is the highest level of soccer in North America

Thinks the city should be proud to have three top level sports teams and there is indeed room for all three in this market
