Apparently there has been a lot of layoffs in the Canada hockey scene. I saw John Shannon lost his gig too. Doug Maclean as well. I think they were all with Sportsnet.

Yup, all Sportsnet. All 3 presumably had pretty big salaries, but only Kypreos ever broke any news. Even so, he probably was at best 3rd on their list of news breakers behind Friedman and Chris Johnston. They paid big money for the broadcast rights a few years ago, but I guess it came time to cut costs.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

There's been a massive turnover in their hockey coverage and yet they don't seem to hire many women.

I liked MacLean and Shannon on Hockey Central and hate to see them go, but I can't stand Kypreos. It'll be interesting to see what the new HNIC lineup will be.

Have to chime in on women doing color in games, I mute the tv. The woman who did a couple last year was sophomoric in her analysis imo. I can't believe I'm typing this, but I'd rather listen to Pierre suck Mcdavids dick during a game.

I'm talking about in-studio hosts but I get your point.

They have no business up in the booth unless they are actually good at what they do.

I think with time the ladies coming into the booth will be better, but I agree, last year was not a good way to sell the game.

According to guys like Bob Plager and Phil Esposito, that's pretty much how it was back in their day. They all came to camp out of shape and it took 2 weeks to get it going.

Yeah but it's usually not so bad that the team immediately suspends you for 2 weeks after your camp physical.

I would imagine it will be a bad October and November and we will all question the locker room again and how Schenn hates Vladi will be the talk of 101. Then there will be tirades in regard to trading Petro while we can get something of value for him. There will be the “Stanley Cup or not..Army should be fired for signing Steen to that contract”. I’m sure we will have to deal with a Schwartz injury before thanksgiving.
Now all the sudden I’m fired up and ready!!!
