HINC was an important tradition when it was THE national hockey broadcast for the week; the one chance to see games outside of your regional broadcast. Moreover, CBC's HNIC tradition was a tradition of excellence in hockey broadcasting. That ended at least a few years ago.

Now, it's just one more venue for watching non-regional games, along with TSN's multiple national broadcasts throughout the week, and Centre Ice.

TSN will be my choice for panel analysis, and other than that I'll decide which channel to watch based on the teams playing, not the broadcaster.

If another channel gets the Saturday games, I won't really care.
