A real difference between Tony and Neil is that Tony had to personally go into the dressing rooms and rinks and face the guys he was critiquing, while McCrae safely lobbed criticisms from the safety of the CKNW studios. It was a privilege proofing his copy back in an era when sports desks actually employed decent numbers. Always love to hear Tony talk hockey.
When I was about 8 yrs old at one of the Canucks games I attended a fan yelled out after Vancouver received a penalty "The ref is blind in 1 eye and can't see out of the other!!" I thought was comment was so funny & intelligent ... BUT TG with the Helen Keller reference ... Mike Drop!! His disputes with Burkie and others are legendary. Thx Sekeres & Price for this interview I shared it to my Canucks Twitter followers. Its Fantastic to hear his voice again🙂
Talk radio that can breathe! Very grateful for this content. Great to hear from Tony. So who gets the credits for his kids success? Ask him if he wants to do a talk show with Dan Russell. Imagine that!
This is great background on the Quinngate and Bure stories. That might also explain why the nhl under Bettman has always tilted the ice against the canucks at every opportunity. Seems like thus could've an iceberg situation and that we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg on the nhl corruption under Bettman. Hmmm. When will a Canadian team next win a Stanley Cup? I think my handle gives you my opinion.
@@mattblom3990 Apparently not. The reply is that of a 3-year-old replete with punctuation errors. There is no reading comprehension implied by the responder. LOL!
@@SekeresPrice Boo hoo. You hurt my feelings. LOL! What a clownish reply: as if it were a real-time conversation. Had to be Sekeres. Oh, yeah ... didn't watch/listen to TG. Why don't you ask Dan Russell? Then, I'll listen.
I grew up on Tony, his columns in the Province were a must read every day. Vancouver legend.
I still have several t-shirts that I won in the 80s & 90s from Tony's radio show, " Gallagher On Sports:
Tony carved a legacy that I enjoyed very much. Verbose and opinionated, he somehow became endearing. Appreciate seeing you again Tony!
loving the shout out to Canucks culture, with Larscheid and Gallager, and an acknowledgment of the culture of this franchise. Great work gents

Ahhh TG. What a legend. The rest of this podcast with Tommy Larscheid and BMac was just gold.
thanks for listening! One of the best episodes we've ever done.
Mr. Gallagher, your book "Towell's, Triumph, and Tears", was excellent.
Fantastic segment. Great work guys.
I've always loves the vocabulary Tony has used his entire career

I'm 49 and grew up reading the paper everyday and still do
Have him on more often!
Tony always spoke truth

Should have had Brian Burke in the chair beside Tony. Maybe a couple of boxing gloves.
Tony was a great one for sure glad he's still dipping his toe in the waters
probably the funniest moment i've ever heard on radio was Tony in his car doing a hit on Team1040 - and he got a parking ticket. LOL oh man
The reason I don't listen to Sekeres & Price is because of Sekeres & Price
And here you are commenting and engaging with the content! 👍
Only because of Tony G being the guest
The biggest thing Rutherford doesn't understand is that Vancouver is even a different Canadian market then the rest of the league
haha did he really say Helen Keller?? wow..
or Bo Horvat
I can't tell, is that Tony G or a hologram?
Travelling funeral is f’n hilarious
Pancake hall of fame
Sorry, still can't listen to TG.
Then don’t? Nobody is forcing you to. 🤷♂️
