TheRussianRocket. Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 ...cost Corey Hirsch his job as well. Sucks since he was one of the better people Rogers had to offer. Intelligent, could make fun of himself, light hearted, and was a genuine guy. Loved what he brought to Canucks pre game coverage this past season. Safe to say he'd still be employed had the program not been let go. Sucks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he'll land in a position that actually makes a positive impact in hockey (consultant/coach/etc....). He still has a lot to offer a team imo. I won't miss the pre-game shows. They rarely, if ever, bring new perspectives/information to the audience anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramarossa Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Darn, Hirsch was my fave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I would never watch that show anyway. The 5 minutes at 7 before puck drop was torture enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 It sucks that it's gone, but I didn't watch it very often. Usually just stuck with TSN1040 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Considering Stock, Healy, and Cox are all gone as well I don't mind losing the pre-game show. We lose Hirsch for the greater good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Damn, I like Hirsch quite a bit. He was a really good analyst even if he always looked like he was ready to cry. I'm sure someone will snatch him up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The pregame shows sucked anyway. They were awesome a few seasons ago with Shorty, Valk, Donny and Garrett... not sure why this needed to change. We often ended up getting stuck watching the tail end of some random game anyway, only to cut right to puck drop once that game ended. They did have the occasional pregame show but they were nowhere near as insightful as they once were. Sportsnet has done a lot of good with their new deal, but they missed the boat on some major issues as well. Dont even get me started with how bad the draft coverage was...

NorthernTorch Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I will really miss Corey. Best of luck to him in the future. Stock, Healy and Cox are complete waste of space, good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li'l Fra Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 You'd think with all their regional stations they could get it together to offer a better product. But, no. Just the same feed as the Eastern time zones and very little Canucks coverage. As soon as Sportsnet got all the rights they let their content go to garbage. Just another area where Canucks fans are underappreciated and taken for granted. FU Sportsnet. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 They needed Jeff Patterson!! LOL That would of made things better. All joking aside his podcast the pat-cast is mildly entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Looks like Sportsnet is trying to cut all regional presentations ...I guess its going to be a one size fits all 'Hockey Central" live from the centre of the universe . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanB Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Pre-game shows serve one purpose and one purpose only for me - they indicate how long I have to do other things until the game actually starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
