As most have stated I'm pretty disappointed with the coverage of the team. Mixer does well, IMO but basically he just reporting the most basic info line line combos and starting goalies. The current dispatch group are a bunch of hacks. I can't remember the last time i actually heard anything more than common knowledge deductions regarding a trade, front office thoughts/moves/decisions, injuries you name it.
Dispatch guys seem to have pushed their agendas too far and as a result have alienated themselves from the team. I mean look at just a few of the stories right now that:
1. Team struggles and the questions if anyone is on the trade block
i.e. Umberger and Brass
2. Wiz Injury
3. JD's evaluation of the team
Information on any one of these stories could help put to rest alot of fan unrest and griping (though I'm sure it would cause new interesting gripes
), but no one is actually investigating what is going on with the Jackets because all the hockey "reporters" have used their columns to push agendas and have been effectively locked out.
