How could anyone be surprised that we have so many ‘pissy’ players when this is the shit they have to deal with daily. Instead of being positive and asking if it felt good to get his debut even if he’s waited a while, he words it as a total downer
I can’t even imagine how these reporters are talked about behind the scenes to get a visible reaction from the guys when they ask questions haha

How does this looser still have a press pass? He should be embarrassed to ask such a stupid question. SMH. Tim peel needs to put him on blast again.

Does Spec ever get feedback about how shit of a reporter he is? Do they have any kind of performance reviews where he works? Professional development planning?
It’s just so rich that he talks about how bad other people are at their jobs, but he never seems to receive this critique. He should, and he should embrace it, it could make him a better reporter.

Spec doesn’t make questions. He expresses his idiotic opinions in the form of a question. What a tool.
justageekgirl
What a douche.
Maybe he could ask Pickard when he was born did he know he would be an NHL Goaltender? Sheesh.

Spector will be the first local sports caster to lose his job to AI

He’s like that one super awkward weird ass friend that shows up to a party but no one really likes then proceeds to say dumb shit

I think Mark Spector is a specific root cause for a reason why lots of players don’t want to come to Edmonton.
He’s always the one stoking the fire, trying to get coaches fired and players traded.
But he’s got the memory of a housefly, a player has 1 bad game even 1 bad play and Spector starts the fire

Credit to Pickard for handling that question like a pro. All class.
SilkyBowner
Everyone on the team must cringe when they see the media rep pointing to Spector for a question.

Pickard is too nice, but I’d have turned it back on Spec and ask him if he thinks he’d ever get a playoff game.

Guys, we should be celebrating inclusivity and applauding Sportnet for employing someone with severe mental impairment

I was listening on 630 CHED. Don’t know MS’s voice that well. When the question was asked, I thought, « That’s gotta be him. No one else is that clueless. »
Spent his childhood pulling the arms off his sister’s Barbies.

He simply could have reworded it to say something more like, how does it feel getting your first playoff game under your belt?

I watched it for myself just now. Keep Bouch forever!

Can’t stand this Spector! Does he blackmail his employer?
FatWreckords
Sure Mark can be a dick, but after 10 years without a playoff start and being down in the AHL as recently as this year, it was very reasonable to assume Pickard wouldn’t get a playoff start in his career. It’s a dick of a question nonetheless, but not unreasonable.

i wish the guys would tell him to fuck right off.

….
title made me think he asked boucher the question….lol
for a 32 year old backup, it’s not that outlandish of a question, if phrased perhaps poorly
« how excited were you to finally get your first playoff start, this deep into your career? »
Sad-Firefighter-5639
Half expected him to ask Bouchard why he’s pissy 💀
RollingJaspers652
Or reporters ask cliché questions and get cliché answers, so maybe even though a bit cringe at times Spector isn’t so bad. Unless everyone is ok with cliché 110% interviews
SadAcanthocephala521
Did it live up to your ex pect tations? God, I feel bad for these guys. It’s hard to just listen to him ask these cringe questions.

How the fuck is Spector still employed? It’s not like sports journalism is on top of the world as an industry these days. There have been cuts all over the place. How does this incompetent moron keep his job?

Hard hitting journalistic question for a man approaching his 40th NHL playoff game. Spector is such a clown
FUCK MARK SPECTOR!
The worst part about Spec is the smug Dunning-Kruger smirk he has on his face when he asks these mindless questions.
I thought this was just a bad timing picture, but no. Bouchard is visibly disgusted and literally shakes his head at the question lol.
Spec of poo on my butthole needs to exit stage left. Who employs that fuckin douche?
Oh jeez.
The worst thing about Spec is that chuckle he gives as he asks his questions.
It’s like he knows his questions are inappropriate, and he doesn’t give a shit.
The link if you want to see the full reaction. It’s actually funny how the players can barely hide how much they think Spec is a joke.
