Pretty lame when one has to do that, I miss the old school callers like Ken Hodge, that guy was worth listening to!! No one even comes close anymore and listening to him call the Stanley cup was amazing, almost like you were there he did it so well. Do you mean Dave Hodge, he never did play by play or colour. His forte' was as a host of HNIC, but was let go for the pencil flip. He did this market on NW for a few years after that in and around the Larionov and Krutov signings in Vancouver.

Dave Hodge did indeed do PBP calling. He called the Buffalo Sabres on radio for that team's first season. Then 20 about years later, he was PBP for the Minnesota North Stars TV games. Hodge also called CFL games for the Argonauts in the 70s and other CFL games in the late 80s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Hodge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard a thing about/from Dan Russell in years. Sorry to hear Pauser is no longer with us. I always enjoyed listening to Dan and him talk hockey. Towards the end of Dan’s Sportstalk they got at each other’s throats more often than not. I always thought he was nicknamed Pauser because of his tendency to leave long gaps in his speech for effect and to try to emphasize his point. Rest in Peace.

Also-been a lot of years since I listened to CKNW- but "The Poet" would, on rare occasions, call in to the day time/political shows. The guy is likely passed on now; as he told Dan he moved to the island for retirement, so it has been decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know some of the others here remember the olden olden days. Dan would run the show until 3-4 am sometimes during the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I get that it’s Summer and a bunch of hosts are taking turns on holidays…but 650, whenever I tune in (admittedly not often these days) is absolutely AWFUL. They lose the radio rights it’s adios I’ll wager. To he honest, I listen to more Seattle sports radio these days. They don’t talk Kraken much thankfully.

The original statement by me on hodge is a lil fuzzy, that was a longgggg time ago. I just remember him and the buzz, dick Irwin was another. Old school boys... Play by play was always good and almost like you were there if you closed you eyes. Anyway, I miss a lot from back then, the brawls were kinda fun but sometimes they went on forever and the game lost it's flow usually and took awhile to get it back.

Locke Lamora Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 So still no word on the Canucks broadcast home? Tuned in to 650 today for a replay of Halford and Brough and then some Toronto based Blue Jays talk. They lose the rights, may as well close up shop. Won’t be losing much, anyway…and Halford and Brough, the only thing palatable on 650 would likely join the Vancouver sports podcast ranks - instantly becoming the best of the bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
