That is an understatement Mark. Best in Show. Insanely genius.

Hey, congratulations Richard. I’m very excited for you. I feel so sad every day I open up The Athletic. I have your picture at the top. There’s nothing there. Continued successes and I’ll look for you now on CBC sports.

The funniest thing about when people talk about simple hockey it’s really not that simple but it really is. I mean, I don’t care how much talent you have. It’s not like dropping in hockey where everybody just goes up and down the ice love your coverage Greg.

Hey, thanks so much for responding. Really appreciate it.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

@richarddeitsch.bsky.social doing well. love reading your athletic stuff. question, I literally rarely watch a game with the sound on. I remember reading your article that saying that Tom Brady had gotten better so I figured what the heck. Omg. It’s like listening to ai if it was announcing.

well.love

Bedard said in your interview the other day remember at the end of the day it’s entertainment

Remember that conversation we had on the video call about parity in the league that’s SEATTLE. If they don’t play a perfect game the score that San Jose beat them by last night could’ve easily been the Blackhawks the other night. It’s just so interesting on teams are so close like that.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

It really makes sense. Is that very common or a Tampa thing? I laughed so hard. I saw you on The Athletic podcast the other day on YouTube you were talking about October hockey. So true.

So I am all for second chances in fact our country was built on many chances. we’re all mistakes waiting to happen. that said he can coach whatever the thing that is interesting to me is he said this on numerous occasions yet read the report. That’s a bit more than just not questioning things.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

I am all for second, third chances. This country was built on it. That said read the report.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

that is one interesting trade. he is one of those players that I rarely have ever seen him not score a really skill goal but he is so all over the place and always hurt. good job by the Kraken getting rid of a mistake.

mark, this is a well deserved victory lap. I get why they went with arty because they thought they could get demi later but what a missed oopzee.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Richard as usual great article about that ESPN. think ESPN is almost kind of become like MTV. MTV started out with music now ESPN is almost like the same. They don’t really do sports anymore they do other than things about sports. I don’t know anyways great article.

@obviousshirts.bsky.social Hi Joe. Not sure this is you as not sure you are on here but personally I am not on the other sm thing anymore. Mu suggestion for a new obvios shirt is “No Margin for Error”. Peace and love what you do with charities. Peace.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

considering everything that’s not a bad return and the retention is doable.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

for the league. Like you mentioned in the article I think with this will do it’ll help hockey development in the US, which is already really on a high note and most people that watch this and then watch an NHL game with a lot of mediocre teams this year I’ll kind of wonder but again great article.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

@saracivian.bsky.social First off grt piece. your writing is trancendent. this is my two cents don’t think these games will really help the NHL. The ratings are in the tank yet They have record revenues because I don’t think eyeballs really matter as much as they used to. It’s almost an ego stroke

120

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

you are spot on.liken this to a much lesser extent of watching soccer wc and then watching mls. As someone that had not watched alot of that sport it was a shock to me. Plus this season nhl has been really alot of .500 and some grt matchups but alot of meh. Thanks for answering. love your work.

000

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

record rev and ratings way down do not you think that maybe in the true digital world ratings have become more ego than actual indication of success? Feel like this tourney will benefit usa hockey more than anything.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

First off you know I love your stuff as I bug you quite a bit I wiuld enjoy getting your take on something I read recently and also have felt this could be true. The bump nhl will get from this I think will be temp and I know that you make more money when your ratings are higher BUT with

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I love this game and it just made it look like stupid shit. What a crock of crap.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Loved your convo with Linda Schulz about hockey. The thing I have never understood about espn getting hockey again is it feels like the same ppl that were involved with hockey at espn in the early 2000s were pulled out of the storage unit along with the studio. Seemed lazy? would appr your thoughts?

Mark, we need a new obvious shirtSHOOTTHEPUCK. He has been over selfless this season. Anyways love your writing

Had an old coach that was actually very funny. He always had this joke when the other team had like a line that was really bad or a player that was really bad and he kept playing them. He always joke that like the player had pictures on the coach. I think 78 might.

000

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

I had this coach years ago who was actually pretty funny. whenever we played a team that had a line that was just horrid and they would keep playing them or player that wasn’t so good and they keep playing. He’d always say I think this player has pictures of the coach I think number 78 might.

Billy Corrigan, amazingly talented, amazingly dramatic

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

Thank you, Captain obvious, I’m joking not really but yes, that is correct

000

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

there’s plenty of people watching and I don’t blame them for what they’re doing. They paid a lot of money for it. The one thing I find really interesting so far and I’ve refreshed a couple times if you go to Netflix, it doesn’t pop up saying the games even on Amazon does that. kind of weird

010

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

I think a great deep dive would be two things. to see how many teams have actually done full rebuild and actually worked. like with puck luck and the other way how did that even out like over acareer. it’s just stupid shit on a Friday

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

I know it’s early in his career, but I’m telling you he just looks so solid. I really think he’s been their second best defenseman other than Vlasic.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

@2-much-man.bsky.social as usual great pod today thanks for all you guys do. I laughed so hard at your handle for a blue sky reminded me of growing up in Chicago of Polish descent and saying things a certain way instead of too many men like too much man it just reminded me. thanks for all you do.

000

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

hey Greg, I really enjoyed your content over the years if you ever need any help with marketing or getting to do your own thing please just ask I’d do it for nothing thank you so much and have a great holiday considering everything and again my I’m very sorry.

030

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I mean, I’m not sure how many people on here. Listen to a lot of podcast. I for one do and I’ve never listened to a podcast that has as many commercials as these guys do I mean, if they can’t make it doing all that then something’s not right

000

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

to me and this is my opinion I have no like statistical facts here, but I just feel like there’s almost too much content. If that even makes sense I mean, their main thing was just like to flood the market with content and you can’t do that forever.

100

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

The one thing that does surprise me and this I can say was pretty good awareness is that I listen to a lot of podcast and there are few podcasts. I’ve ever listened to that has as many commercials as these guys do so they can’t make money then they must have a real problem.

010

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

this is exactly why they laid off these people. It’s because when you start taking money, you gotta show a return and from what I understand all of their markets make money except for Chicago. I have no idea why that would be but that’s what I have heard.

roguewavecreative @roguewavecreative.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I’ve had my own business for over 20 years but the one Corp. job I had this gave me anxiety because I remember they did this like every year.

Sports is so silly. It makes so much sense and no sense at all. kinda like life but funnier.
