I wonder if that had anything to do with Steiggy being ousted in favor of Mears.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I thought that kind of happened this year. I swore I saw "AT&T SportsNet" watermark on a lot of Pens' broadcasts.

Hoping this opens the door for more available streaming options.

 

[Shady Machine]

If they have a streaming service, I'll be interested. Until then, whatever.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

About to? They were already using that name/logo during Pens games during this season.

 

[Shockmaster]

So does that mean it won't look like a 3rd rate trash network like ROOT?

 

[Asuna]

good. root sports is an awful name. plus the network sucks.

hopefully it'll be better from now on

They can rebrand as "****-Stain Network", just as long as Steigy is far, far away from it.

 

[Rectify]

I always hated saying 'ROOT sports' so I'm in favor of this move.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

If this means more commercials involving Milana Vayntrub then I'm on board.
