Better be a Marco D'Amico apology in this episode
Marco D’Amico my goat
16:00
17:05 so godamn arrogant. And at the end of the day, all of that yapping just to say "he never asked for a trade he just informed the kings that if they find a trade that works then he is interested"….. That's the same godamn thing. Hey Allan, if your only issue with Marco was the fact he added that Danault was "asking for a trade" in his tweet but was right about everything else. You could have just corrected him without being immature. Grow up
Snowdon deli! Let's go
Happy 100! 😊
The psychological side of the story is often more complicated than the physical side of Allen’s work and I’m glad that you guys were discussing it because it’s so important for them after the career as well and I I can see a very proud dad who cares about everyone else around him deeply
So no mention of a reporter?
This is so wholesome.
1:05:00 Thanks for answering my question! The only thing I wish you mentioned from my question was about whether GMs can bench a player for the rest of their contract, if they have a full no-move? Ans whether they can prohibit a player from accessing their services and facilities?
Thanks again, and happy 100!😊 Also glad that question inspired a lot of conversation, because that was some really fascinating stuff.
To use Allan’s words, what an attention seeking agent. There are professional and respectful ways to express disagreement with a reporter, and there’s a jerk way. And based on this attitude, why would a reporter « bother » to check with him?
Awesome pod
Should have just called the episode Marco Polo
Your best episode of agent provocateur ever!
Im so glad that Danault coming back home here in Montreal im a Habs fan and i cant wait see him at home ice im sure is gonna have a big ovation for is first shift we needed a experience center to show all our young player how to play defense at a high level he is gonna make the Habs much more dangerous and alert on defense because of is experience , a big acquisition by the organisationin in my book the top shut down center in the NHL , REBIENVENUE A LA MAISON PHILLIPE.
I could listen to Alan wax poetic on Springsteen only for 100 episodes. (Lucky guy, getting tickets to the broadway show. We were lined up to make it our honeymoon but didn’t get the lottery luck)
so… he basically asked for a trade.
Really good episode, one of my favorites! 🎉
Writing before listing, the Marco D’amico saga must be brought up😂😆
This is amazing!!! Thank you for this episode. A big well deserved congrats to you gentlemen. And Allan – your kids are amazing humans! ❤ says a lot about the amazing parents! What an epic interview 😂🥰
Why the f do the people who don’t like Allan Walsh for whatever reason still find the need to not only watch and listen to the podcast, but also post the most childish, ignorant comments as well. Super! 🫡💩
Snowden Deli! An institution in Mtl. Understand his memories! My late dad grew up with the Marantz brothers who owned the place. I even had a summer job as a bus boy there when I went to college. Greatly miss my dad as well
Justice for Marco
Marco D'Amico needs an apology! Also, stop twisting words Allan. Saying oh we didn't ask for a trade but talked about a change of scenery means the same exact thing but ok we see what you did there 😂😂😂
This was a great episode
It takes a big man to apologize, Allan, but I guess we finally found the limit of your 'tough guy' brand. It’s funny how you have a tweet for everything except your own lack of integrity. Silence doesn't make you look powerful; it just makes you look small.
It’s easy to be a lion on social media when you’re protected by a screen, but dodging a simple apology to Marco D’Amico shows exactly what you’re made of. Turns out the loudest voice in the room is usually covering for the weakest spine.
Basically took a detour to say marco d'amico was right… oh you mean phil danault agent demanded a trade. Tomahto tomato
Not clearing the air about Walsh's tweet about Marco D’Amico is kinda bush league. Saw that Walsh blocked a lot of people on X who called him out.
Wholesome is the right word to describe this! I did not expect these guests, but wow, Ani and Ethan, you guys were awesome:)
So crazy hearing Allan talk about Snowdon Deli, it's less than a block away from where I live now and I've never been inside of it.
Great episode, thank you for the first 100 and can’t wait for the next 100 shows.
Question for the podcast. Has there been a GM in recent years who tried to add any late round draft picks when doing deals and trading them up for a more decent pick. Like offering two 4ths, two 5ths, a 6th and 7th for a 2nd round pick in return?
Allan Walsh is a bum
The bigger man would of apologized for his words against Marco, but i guess we know more about you by slithering around it to try to make yourself look good which ironically you end up doing the opposite.
So what I’m gathering is Marco was right and was dragged for no reason. Love to see it since he’s not part of the ‘boys club’. Hope Marco continues doing what he’s doing.
Edit: Allan is a gutless individual that twists words and lacking in integrity. Paper tiger.
Kinda wish they wouldve sent veleno to LA , He aint producing
Imagine not only going at a person on social media (in which you didn’t even deny what they were reporting) get proven wrong, spam block people who called you out, and STILL not apologizing on the podcast about the exact situation YOU caused issue on.
