TCC#34 - A view from The Battle of California
Game one against Anaheim was a difficult one for Canucks fans. A 5-1 loss with Luongo getting pulled in the third period, but that didn’t stop Alanah from making the podcast rounds on this episode. She is able to extend our playoff coverage by getting Earl Sleek, a Ducks fan blogger from The Battle of California, on the phone after he attended the game at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Sleek gives his perspective on the series opener as well as the Canucks fan presence at the game. The second half of this episode, Alanah links up with J.J. by phone to get his thoughts on the game.

Vancouver 0
Anaheim 1
Can you tell the difference between the two segments? Listening to J.J., you would never have known that the Canucks lost this game. Here’s to a better game two!

This was some way cool stuff, Alanah. I’m almost inclined to invite Sleek onto the podcast more often, but last night’s loss still has me a bit disgruntled. :p
Thanks, John. Glad it worked out… well, the podcast phone call parts at least. I’d love to have Earl on the show again. (Hopefully after a Canucks WIN in this series, however.)

You must have had less to drink than I did, then.
That was easier and less stressful than I thought it would be for my first ‘podcast’ experience–thanks for being good sports and all!
Off the ice, you guys kick ass! (runs and hides)
Good to hear the voice behind the beautiful madness that is the Battle of California. Sleek is hilarious.
Oh my God! Was I that depressed afterwards???
Freakin’ Ducks.
Sleek doesn’t sound drunk at all during this interview. I’m kind of surprised and disappointed.
I never sound drunk, officer.
sleek never sounds terribly drunk… it’s almost alarming to think, “heyyy, he’s sober—okay, maybe not.” hahaha…
