I find almost every aspect of Sportsnet to be annoying. Rob Kerr obviously tops the whole experience because he's at the forefront of their broadcasting, but everything else just adds to the whole amateurish nature that is Sportsnet.

I didn't mind Simmer as much in previous seasons, but he's gotten pretty hard to handle in my opinion, last night just being one example that for some reason really seemed to get to me, referring to Dustin Byfuglien as "Justin" on at least two occasions.

Then there's the little things that still somehow find a way to piss me off, including but not limited to, the fact that the sound is sometimes not synched with the play (I love hearing Kerr call a goal before the puck is even shot), the fact that Sportsnet never changes their commercials (I can't even explain how badly I would love to knock that Telus campfire guy or the ProLine "lost the remote in the couch" guy clean out), and the amateur intermission crew including Bray Fay, Brad May, Doug MacLean, Nick Kypreos and whoever else is on that panel.
