canuktravella Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Am i wrong the image they are going for hockey is horrible. George strombopopolus has no hockey knowledge wat so ever, makes ron maclean look like a genuis why are they ruining hockey get some more people that know hockey to talk about it liike adam oates and 99. Also are any of the media providing a neutral unbiased view instead of a gary bettman/ toronto maple leaf love in. Every time someone gets hit now they are like all discussing if that hit should be suspendable, hockey is hard your supposed to hit people. I hate all the political correct lameness thats becoming canada, grow some nuts and be men . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Get with the program. We have absolutely no power over any of this. The NHL and Rogers does whatever they want. I think Rogers is pushing Strombo just to screw over the CBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilac Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I don't like the change. I am so used to Don Cherry and Ron MacLean. I love tuning in to see what Don Cherry has to say and what he is wearing. I absolutely love watching and listening to him! I was used to seeing him and Ron MacLean after 7pm, Saturday's on CBC, and this Season, I was like - what happened? No Don?! Then I tuned in to CBC one Saturday around 4pm, and then at 4:40pm, there he was. So I have tuning into CBC more around 4pm, or flipping back between channels if there is a team I like better who is playing on another channel.

Mustapha Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I just watch the game and mute the intermissions now. The 'round table' session is really bad. CBC has actually been awful for the last 7 or 8 years, not really much worse than it was before the Rogers takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Strombo thought that barely playing Nolan was sending a message... Lol Friedman also burned him yesterday after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFBR392 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 It is pretty bad. But I imagine it'll probably get better of the next, what, 12 years? Here's hoping at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Give it time for them to figure it all out. People mostly hate this because they have a hard time accepting change. Doesn't really matter what they say, most already have their hate blinders on. I haven't minded it so bar, but I don't really pay much attention to anything that doesn't happen on the ice.

He wasn't all that good at it when his show started, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt here. As I said, I don't pay much attention to what happens during intermission. I like to walk away and do other things. Hockey in general doesn't interest me nearly as much anymore since the lockout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great contribution and thanks for turning out. Just because you are on the Internet there is no need to be dispicable. Challenge your brain rather than your mouth.

prana16 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Am i wrong the image they are going for hockey is horrible. George strombopopolus has no hockey knowledge wat so ever, makes ron maclean look like a genuis why are they ruining hockey get some more people that know hockey to talk about it liike adam oates and 99. Also are any of the media providing a neutral unbiased view instead of a gary bettman/ toronto maple leaf love in. Every time someone gets hit now they are like all discussing if that hit should be suspendable, hockey is hard your supposed to hit people. I hate all the political correct lameness thats becoming canada, grow some nuts and be men .

Bo Horvat Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The broadcast quality does seem a bit watered down overall... I feel like the approach Rogers is taking with this is too casual. Come playoff time it better change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate all the political correct lameness thats becoming canada, grow some nuts and be men . Dude it's bad, HNIC used to be my weekly visit "Home" It was a show like no other, Americans I showed it to were impressed to say the least. Now?? I don't know what the hell I'm watching. This hour has 69 minutes or some other horrible CBC show paid for by Canadian tax payers? And don't even get me started on the suspensions, or the attempt by people who DON'T PAY for the product (Credit: Don Cherry) to castrate the game. They have no business even being in the debate. The NHL is the supplier, we are the consumers, the players are the medium. Only these three parties have any business influencing the on-ice product. The media can F@#k O^F as far as I'm concerned. As far as Stropo...whateverthehell his name is, he interviewed me back in 1999, a few questions in and I realized he knew NOTHING about us. Fine, it was a quick sit-down interview and in the grand scheme of things, we weren't all that important, but to have this guy in my face every week on a show I held sacred (For everyone who complained about HNIC, try living OUTSIDE Canada for years, then tell me how bad the show was) is a huge kick in the b@lls. (BTW this is venom for his professional life I'm spewing, I don't know the guy personally and am therefore none of this criticism is about him as a person, just want to make that distinction clear) I just got home from the ANH game, my Ducks friends are as sick of all these suspensions as I am, they are asking themselves why the NHL has fighting/Hitting in all their promo clips, then act as if they've crust smelled a fart when any one of those things happen. Make up you're mind NHL! What is your product? Please define it so I can make an informed decision on whether I want to keep paying for it. Stop sending the consumer mixed messages. A ducks season ticket holder told me not 2 hours ago, "The things I cheer loudest for are a goal. hit or a fight, This league doesn't seem committed to giving me any of them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
