-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Quote Analyst Nick Kypreos will not be returning to Sportsnet for the 2019-20 season, the former NHLer announced in a statement on Twitter Wednesday. After much consideration, Sportsnet and I have decided to part ways. I am proud to have been part of our growth since we launched in October of 1998 and thankful they took a chance on me so long ago. I am truly grateful to have had twenty-one years of a post playing career. From covering Sid’s golden goal in Vancouver to a Saturday night seat on Hockey Night in Canada; I could not have asked for more. Most of all, I would like to offer a sincere thank you to the hockey fans. Simply put, hockey is nothing without you. I’ve felt your passion since day one. My family and I are excited for the projects and adventures that will occupy the next phase of our lives. Until we meet again…Kyper. Kypreos joined Sportsnet in 1998, and has featured as an analyst and insider on NHL broadcasts for more than 20 years, including Hockey Night in Canada and Hockey Central. Kypreos also co-hosted Hockey Central at Noon on Sportsnet 590 The FAN. Sportsnet released the following statement after the announcement: A Toronto native, Kypreos played eight seasons in the NHL, capturing a Stanley Cup with the 1993-94 New York Rangers, before becoming a broadcaster. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhl-analyst-nick-kypreos-leaving-sportsnet-21-years/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Contract is up. Kip wants more money. Company offers less money. Kip threatens to leave. Company says bye bye; good luck finding employment that is this easy and pays this well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Philthy Posted August 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2019 His hot takes were below average, he is easily replaceable. I'm actually kind of happy I wont hear him on Sportsnet. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Didn't often love him that much, but he had his moments. Cheers on a good, long career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JeremyCuddles Posted August 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2019 Agree with most sentiments that he wasn't actually that good at his job. Won't go as far to say he was getting greedy though. Move on from Hrudey and maybe Sportsnet can be a bit more interesting to watch. Bring in our boy Juice. 1 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I thought he was decent, more-so the last few years. He settled into his role on hockey night & headlines. Sportsnet seems to be letting a few guys go, probably has something to do with how much they paid to get the TV deal in the first place. Wonder who will replace Kyp. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Never liked him. He seems arrogant and maybe there's also a little resentment with him being a former Ranger who won a Cup. Just an unskilled goon who benefitted from a trade to the Rangers back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I personally always liked him. Sad to see him go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duodenum Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Rogers Sportsnet probably bleeding money after overpaying to get the NHL rights. Laying off all the high priced long timers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Good riddance. He comes across as a arrogant p.o.s., not to mention...he was part of the 94 Rangers and I still hate that team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hmmm. I was actually starting to not mind Kypreos. That said, I'm not losing any sleep over this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
