Mike Commodore

Austin Matthews was thrust into an uncomfortable room by a divisive rookie ranking list.

And Mike Commodore has spent a decade waging an incandescent, scorched-earth crusade across the internet.

The prevailing gospel says billionaire owner Daryl Cates made the unilateral call.

Perhaps.

Shout out, Jam.

I had my man, Brendan Morrow, who we finally got to film an episode of Subpar alongside Mike Commodore, which will be coming to you in the next couple of weeks.

But Q, Sam, Patrick, everyone at Bounty Club, the entire staff.

We had so much damn fun all week.

favorite Stanley Cup winner.

Commie's in the house, Mike Commodore.

Commie, how was the week that was?

Oh, like I said, I feel like...

oh yeah we missed the playoffs i think it's one of the only times the oilers missed the playoffs too the next year it's like one of the only times where both teams missed um but yeah i was thinking about that the other day there was a little article i was reading it on the plane and i'm like oh Well, personally, this is just – 06, 07 for me, I had a great year.

I was on fire.

But when you're sitting there and Mike Commodore is leading your decor and, like, it was points, fights, plus my – if I'm leading the decor in points, you know, you might have a little shortage, a little power outage coming from the back end.

So that was not a good – it was a good year for me just personally.

It left a mark that took years to fade.

And of course, Mike Commodore.

Good old number 22.

Commodore didn't just disagree with Babcock.

But isn't Mark Messier doesn't have.

presence and the history and the lineage to be able to say it I mean no disrespect to Mike Commodore but he ain't Mark Messier

Sure, and right.

And Mike Commodore is a little more colorful.

But at the end of the day, Mark Messier grew up in Edmonton.

He's an Edmonton kid.

Yeah.

They wanna hear and they, they want those thoughts because it's easy for a guy like myself or a guy that, you know, like Mike Commodore or guys that were, you know, five, six, seven, bubble, it's a different conversation because-

Yeah, you didn't play 25 years in the NHL

... exactly.
