AriGold Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 CKNWVerified account @CKNW 52m52 minutes ago .@TorontoStar is reporting that Ron MacLean will be replacing @strombo on HNIC as host. Now if they can just fire everybody else except Elliott and bring everybody from TSN over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Strombo was a fail. Need guys that know what they're talking about and have vast knowledge of the game. Not just a personality and a pretty crappy one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Strombo was clueless and he seems like a turd. I didn't watch him a lot as I had no interest in listening to him but one time around the all star game I had it on and recall him saying "Jonathan Tavares".... yea, real hockey fan there bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putgolzin Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Seems like a step back to me too. Whether you like Strombo or not, the point was a step in a more youthful direction: perhaps CBC has realized the youth has mostly forgotten about hockey and now they're just worried about soaking up all our old guy dollars before we kick off?

ShakyWalton Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Not a fan of hipster Strombo..glad he is gone..but McLean back again..same old faces and motor mouth running the show...that was painful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 How 'bout a wkly Commish's - Corner segment? Where the ever loquacious Buttman gets to expound/pontificate away, & let interviewer Jian Ghomeshi snuggle up close, with tricky posers? It's all about ratings, y'know.

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Losing Strombo that's fine. Replacing him with McLean not fine. Why not some of Sportsnet's good talent like David Amber or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
