Sports journalism is mostly stupid anyway. Play by play makes sense on radio, but on TV it is pointless. Unless you are sight impaired what is the point?
Most of the written stuff is crap too. To wit; Cali Flames Fan does a better pre game summary than the official sources.
Other than insider gossip, ex athletes explaining the game or telling stories I am not sure what they add to the experience other exasperation.

Play-by-Play are for casual/new viewers to the game. Hockey nerds like us may understand a lot of the nuances in a game, but to a new/casual fan they need the announcer to help explain and access the game even on TV.
