Sekeres & Price Show

June 4 2024 - John Shannon

Ep. 837

The Oilers-Canucks rivalry seems to be growing, long after the series has ended, as Matt and Blake react to a scathing rant by HNIC analyst Luke Gazdic. The guys get into the role of national media versus regional, and what fans look for in their hockey coverage. Also, they guys kick around the Martin Necas rumours, and how the Canucks stack up vs the teams that are supposedly involved. 


Just by chance, it happened to be the usual day for longtime HNIC executive producer John Shannon to join the show, and he gets into what the expectations are for guys like Gazdic, how he guided former coaches and players in those roles, and how he sees the role today. The guys also talk about the Stanley Cup matchup as well, and how it might play out. 


All that, plus an update on the Lions' season opener on the road this weekend, and a whole lot more! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

  • 847. FILIP HRONEK SIGNS 8-YEAR EXTENSION + June 18, 2024 - John Shannon

    02:05:49
    Matt and Blake record a special emergency edition of Sekeres & Price LIVE discussing the Filip Hronek contract extension! Then, we get into our regular-scheduled program. The Jake Guentzel sweepstakes will be at a fever pitch soon as we’re inside two weeks until free agency opens, so Matt and Blake have no choice but to react to the latest report that the Canucks will be all in to try and land the prized winger. The guys get into what that level of signing would mean to the balance in the lineup, and into the long-term effects on the salary cap. They also preview Game 5 of the Stanley Cup and talk about the somewhat muted interest in the Final despite a Canadian team and the best player on the planet being involved. The perfect guest for all of that is longtime HNIC producer John Shannon, who gives his two cents on what’s happening, and why fan interest is what it is. Plus, he gets in the Amazon deal with the NHL, Guentzel to the Canucks, and the debacle that is the Columbus Blue Jackets. All that, plus some injury updates from the Lions, and a pretty juicy Whitecaps rumour. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.Follow us on social.
