It's Official: Sportsnet's Hockey Coverage Sucks!

[Bilgerat10]

NHL Preview Show was certainly underwhelming -- only highlight was Strombo. The rest was amaturish and dripping with self-importance. It's going to be a long season.

Long 12 seasons you mean?

 

[MasterDecoy]

well that didn't take long

 

[DJ Breadman]

what did you expect? It's all the same guys plus they hired the cbc morons

You needed to watch the preview show, to realize Sportsnet is a 3rd rate network? The same company that gave Kypreos and John Shannon a job?

 

[Kimota]

Well the preview show was in their old format, the real stuff begins tomorrow.

 

[Kriss E]

Not that I think they'll do a good job, but it's their first year under a full coverage. They're not going to match TSN in their first year.

 

[DJ Breadman]

They have all the same people, it's not going to get any better, hopefully the production is better but the rest won't be. Not only that they hired the idiots from cbc. They should of just hired the tsn guys, threw some money at them. Strombo will be the only difference

 

[Hackett]

I was sitting at a restaurant, and one of the TVs was tuned in to SN. I saw Healey and co. sitting around some strategy table. It was a really corny looking setup.

 

[general schwartzkopf]

ya its gonna be a looooooong 12 years. anyways, I started watching their season/team review last night and after watching for 5 minutes, I switched over to TSN. there's a lot turdburglers on that channel, but Mclean is the biggest baffon of 'em all, imo.

Some HF'ers should just get a roundtable and do a podcast. I'm sure a weekly show consisting of a half dozen of us could have some fun and pull out decent conversations.

I agree with this. As long as i am allowed to swear.

 

[vokiel]

Just don't watch them. It's not going to kill you.

 

[psychonaut]

We will find out just how much TVA sucks tonight

Bunch of 20-30 somethings? Yeah, swearing has to be allowed. There is no other way. To censor or not to censor, that is the question.

I'd seriously look into how much it costs to book studio time. If it's not too expensive and five others would be down to work a weekly podcast (likely on the weekend) and split the cost six ways, it would be fun.

i would watch your podcast, and if you set up a donation type thing, i'm sure some people would donate small fees.

would be fun to see it grow, or fail. either way, fun.

Didn't watch it and I worry about Strombo's fortitude with that group...
Look what RDS/AC did for Vinny.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I agree with this. As long as i am allowed to swear.

The topic tonight and every night, "WHY IS DD ON THIS ****ING TEAM?"

 

[optimus2861]

In other news: Water is wet.

Yeah, it's gonna be a long 12 years with these clowns.

 

[lo striver]

who sucks more nowadays, RDS, TVA or SportsNet?

Too bad I'm provinces away but that'd be pretty great content with the right people

" this guy isn't even eligible for a carnival ride yet he's our top line center, what in the name of holy ****!!"

I'm sure there's way to do it online, without paying fees at all.

[Devourers]

I'm sorry but CBC's cast needed to be axed entirely for SN to have any hope. Instead, they paved the way for those idiots to continue having jobs.
