Re: Hockey Media

I think HNIC is better than NBC, but only because NBC is so actively infuriating, not because I find HNIC is actually enjoyable to watch. So it was really interesting to read about the process by which HNIC arrived in its current form. Apparently there's hope of change soon!
Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)I do get that Strombo & Kipper awkwardly positioning themselves on a studio "rink" while awkwardly talking about the night's game is awkward. But I think it's telling that when people complain about it they rarely say they wish for whatever people used to see instead to come back. I don't know that there's anything that people would enjoy in that spot or that would attract viewers. It's the games that do that, and Canadians just aren't interested in these playoffs.
Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)I don't think the article is principally interested in arguing that Canada isn't watching the playoffs because HNIC is bad, though. That's the lead in, but most of the article is about other things. I was interested because as someone new to sports, I've yet to find ANY intermission commentary or whatever to be very engaging, and I'm still trying to figure out what, if anything, I would rather see.
