Good point about Claridge potentially being a big help in getting through the NCC stuff for Lebreton

Non commitment club 😂😂
Why is Wally so quiet and York so loud? Can you balance the sound?
Didn’t know Mr. Firestone is a fun guy. Hilarious
Great show lads! I'm a big hockey fan and always wanted the arena downtown since they got the team back them I was 12, but I do understand that not everyone is a hockey fan and we all pay tax dollars, so it shouldn't be a slam dunk decision. That being said, give them the space for an arena downtown, but don't give them all sorts of land for real estate development to further enrich themselves. It seems that the ownership groups feel like they are 'owed' something from the city after they buy the team. Sorry, we, the citizens can tell you (ownership groups) what we want and you can listen, not the other way around. Who wants it, let's fucking go!! Go Sens Go!! Cheers
Great guest! I was too young to really follow the process of building the CTC (Palladium) back in the mid-90's, so this was a fascinating listen! Bruce is clearly a VERY bright business mind. It's a shame government bureaucracy got in the way of his vision for a Lebreton arena 30 years ago.
This was so awesome! I love Bruce Firestone, such a great Dude. Bruce didn't even talk about the only privately funded major highway off ramp in North American history. I'm going to cut a short video together on how Toronto Maple Leaf Bay Street Bullies manipulated political stooges to f**k the Sens every chance they could! They did not want this team exist….for God Sake, look at the insane schit they did! This entire drama should be made into a film.
Great job! GSG!
I love hearing Bruce Firestone’s stories. I hope to see him back on the show soon.
Disappointed in hearing this nonsense. EK doesn't hit 50 points in SJ four years in a row and then hits 100 in the fifth year. SJ looks around and says let's see if we can dump this guy while the dumping is good and all of a sudden a lot of people in Ottawa are getting rid of Chabot to make room for him. Think of the buzz it would create they say. I remember the buzz the DeBrincat acquisition made and that was dumb as hell but now they want to do it again with EK sacrificing Chabot into the bargain.
It's funny listening to the sports talking head experts who were jerking each other off in ecstasy when Dorion pissed away three picks for DeBrincat, now fantasizing about all the teams frothing at the mouth and willing to give up major assets for the 5'7" minus 31 LW who thinks he's worth 9 million dollars. Except not this team or that team or the other team… What a joke! Dorion is stuck with the 9 million dollar or maybe 7.65 million dollar midget. Can't get out front of the Sanderson contract or lock up Pinto long term and that's going to cost extra millions down the road so there goes your cap increases. Then Chychrun takes away more millions of cap increases. Where's your depth or goalie? Oh yeah I forgot. The armchair GM geniuses already have that taken care of with the likes of Joseph, Sokolov, Jarventie and Greig.
Maybe DeBrincat can put on the pads and play goal! 🙂
The DeBrincat acquisition was a disaster and I said that from day 1. The Chychrun acquisition was also dumb but at least he'll get you stuff at the trade deadline if he's healthy; maybe a solid RD or depth or a goalie.
Firestone was fun to listen to.
That was a great show for sure!
Awesome interview!!! Dr Firestone will always be a hero for bringing us the Sens!!
Bruce spittin fire, i love the peak behind the curtain.
