*shudder*

/I think Marek and LeBrun see the writing on the wall...Marek went to Sportsnet, correct?!? I like the fact that Sportsnet carries regional hockey games, but it is far behind TSN in quality.

Wow is the Hot Stove looking terrible now.

yup he went to sportsnet

TSN's roster of hockey personalities is just massive ... its like canada in international hockey ... they can field 5 panels - lol

its gonna be a Bell versus Rogers titanic communications battle for HNIC broadcast rights

TSN will have HNIC (or HNIT) when the contract comes up. they are stock piling all the good talent.

Milbury, Stachan. Strachan, Milbury.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

thats not a given ... Sportsnet has SNOne now and they can change (if it hasnt changed already) the license to be a national channel

I just think it would be incredibly amazing if Rogers got it and TSN had all these analysts sitting around talking spelling bee's

It would be great if this LeBrun hire by TSN pushed Dreger out the door...

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

When are they going to wise up & fire MILPUKE?

All commentators are created equal, but some or more equal than others...

This depresses me. One of my (few) advantages to living in Buffalo is my ready access to the Canadian border and ability to watch HNIC every Saturday. I can't see TSN (but I do get their email updates) so I will not get to watch LeBrun--and I will miss him.

welcome to the board.
yeah, talent seems to be leaving CBC in droves.
once they were outbid for their own damned theme song, the writing seemed to be on the wall.

maybe they give Grapes more than 7 minutes, but when he has tie to fill that's when he gets in trouble lol.
