I know you weren't directing your comments at radio, I'm making the argument that they are intertwined, and that for me, the PBP adds something really quite special.
Also, I often forget that most people don't know hockey as well as we (CP) do. I'll make statistical shout outs or call a penalty before the announcer/PBP does, and my girlfriend is astonished. For me it's like an echo, but for most people learning the game or that didn't grow up with it, a lot of the info really helps them understand what the heck is going on out there at break neck speed..
