Because they do.
Ron and Don aren't "institutions," they're old and past their prime. HNIC is worse with Ron at the helm, and Coach's Corner segments having been completely useless meanderings of a xenophobe and a rambling old man for like 10 years. The product is undeniably worse the more Ron is around, unless you're the type who thinks anything more than vanilla is trying too hard and you appreciate a nice pair of pleated khakis.
Strombo was an engaging host who could guide the conversation. He never obsessively had to add anecdotes about Roy Clark, and Hartford Whaler who had 3 assists in 1973 which was the same year that Dave Stanfield scored 4 games in a row while wearing number 15.
