Sportsnet /HNIC are so bad now ... Cant even turn up the volume - I just watch the game … Perhaps they should stick to Hockey instead of trying to brainwash the Country into the cause " du jour ". I hope they lose the next contract to TSN.

If you think Sportsnet/HNIC is bad in that context, TSN would be infinitely worse.
I totally agree HNIC has reached its lowest level ever, and TSN would likely be a better option. But TSN would most definitely use their platform for the cause "du jour" that would be beyond insufferable (and they are already really bad for it right now).
Perhaps - Either way - I am done with their production - just watching the games - and shutting down the Pre game and Intermission content .
Hey, I'm not disagreeing at all with you here. HNIC (and now extended to Sportsnet) is a shell of its former self. It was phenomenal at its peak. Now we have Ron MacLean pandering to these causes. A subpar panel. Nothing enticing during intermissions like Coach's Corner and Satellite Hotstove when they were "must watch" in their hey days. And everything is so corporate and politically correct -- even Elliotte Friedman, one of the best in the business, has fallen victim to becoming a complete corporate lackey. Sad.

Literally everything they air outside of the actual game is garbage content. I've found a remedy though that my girlfriend loves because it doesn't involve me scowling at the tv for 15 mins: Mike Tysons Mysteries on Netflix. 13 minute episodes that I can put on during intermission and have a laugh instead of a stroke. Lol

Anyone else feel Noodles should get replaced on overdrive or be left to a small segment like Ray is?
They should replace him with Mike Johnson. I thought MJ was a hockey only guy then on friday he gets asked about JJ Watt and rifles off his sack stats and cap hit off the top of his head. He makes Leaf lunch palatable whenever he co hosts it.
My biggest grype with Noodles is that he ONLY knows hockey. He just goes along or talks out of his ass on any non hockey subject. Yeah O-Dog is not much better but he at least puts forth a better effort with regards to other sports, and seems to know his stuff with golf and baseball. Him and Hayes wont shut up with the golf lately.

Tough times for the media. They want to scream Leafs suck but can't.

Back in the day, he was must read re Leafs. May he RIP.
It's sad he'll say stuff to make him look dumb just to get more attention. That's why any Leaf deals are also such a higher price for them according to the media than other teams.
Noodles refusing to change his opinion about carey price is annoying, he seems to think he's still the same goalie who had that ridiculously dominant three year stretch a few years ago.
So many in the media are like that about Price.
They don't have a colour guy who comes anything close to Ray. You put Ray with any of the big name play by play guys and its automatically the best broadcast.
On another note, if Boudreau isn't coaching soon, either network would be foolish not to hire him. I think Sportsnets intermissions are pretty horrific. They force feed us Cassie Campbell. Anthony Stewart isn't very interesting. Burke was annoying (but he's gone now). Poulin is a bit boring but I at least find his points generally valid on TSN, O'Dog is O'Dog. Duthie is a better host than Amber or Marek (Marek is legit bad, he should go back to covering WWE).
