Rogers is dismantling HNIC. There was a time I would have been saddened by it, but given the decline of network TV, and the digitization of viewing options there isn't much they could have done.
As someone who doesn't care about the Maple Leafs, HNIC only carried vaguely nostalgic appeal for me. My primary goal was always to watch the Flames. Much of the Canadian market probably feels likewise about their own teams.
Sad to see good people losing their spots, but they'll find work elsewhere.
