The production values are embarrassingly low.....you'd think a network that is broadcasting 50+ games a year for the Canadian teams could do something better.
I guess all the talent goes to TSN and CBC.

I actually don't mind Simmer. I don't love him or anything, but I think he's fine, at least in terms of a regional Sportsnet feed. Though much of that may just come from him replacing John Garrett, who I absolutely despised.
Totally agreed on the intermission panel though, just awful. Thankfully I'm almost always an hour behind to start the game, so I just fast forward through that nonsense. Same with Eric Francis at the start of the period. I heart PVR.
