Watch enough games and you will know
I watch plenty of games and have plenty of garbage out of commentators. I just don't understand why people care what is said.

The best conclusion I can come to is that many posters on these boards are simply drama queens who feel the need to post about every little annoyance. Whereas I have been assuming that if people take time to post about something, it's very important to them.

How do you know?My complaints are usually directly about the fans posting on these boards, that is, I am complaining directly to the people annoying me. There is an actual possibility that things may change because of the complaint. People complaining about commentators and such are just complaining -- they are not complaining to Sportsnet or the Leafs, so nothing is likely to be done.
The play-by-play guy is a huge part of fan enjoyment in watching hockey games for many people.
Some people could watch a hockey game muted the whole game, many cannot.
What a play-by-play guy says will impact people's perception of the hockey game. If he says "And Marner was offside", but it was really Connor Brown.... many people won't catch those kind of details.
Furthurmore, play-by-play guys are to entertain the audience. If they are dry and dull, that doesn't maximize the hockey product. They most definitely shouldn't discuss serious things like people's fathers that get killed when they are alive and well.

Interesting viewpoint.
To me, the play by play guy is there to get my attention when things get exciting if I happen to be doing something else while the game is on. And to be honest, I care whether the Leafs were offside or not but I don't care what individual player was offside. And if an announcer is going on about the Leafs being crap when they're not, I might think "well, you're an idiot" for about two seconds. I certainly don't see any point in going online and complaining about it. If I went online and complained every time someone did or said something stupid, I'd have no time for anything else.
And I have to admit that I never saw the big deal about the Chycrun thing. Romanuk mixed up two players. Happens all the time. People wrongly think others are alive or dead all the time too. It didn't strike me as any different than Bowen going on about Filip Forsberg being Peter's son.

Romanuk didn't bother me when Ferraro was there.
He made mistakes but he never seemed to be a homer for either team playing which is fine.
But when you added Greg Millen, then it became taxing at times.
For the new guy, it will depend who is partner in crime coming in is.
1 person you aren't crazy about can reduce your quality enjoyment of the whole show.
Former high school Technician of the Tangled Twine, Joe Bowen.whose the guy that always said "Rick-Oh-Shay"?
that always annoyed me greatly.
