I agree... Hope Sportsnet loses coverage next contract. The analyst in studio is usually some guy with no connection to the flames like Shannon or Armstrong who talks about the game for 60 seconds and the intermission show is centered on Eric Francis who has no background in hockey at all and it looks and feels like an access tv show.

Compare it to any of the US teams with their own full crew and it looks really bad.

Fan 960 is the place to go for depth. Sportsnet on tv is a shambles. But on the positive side... Awesome pbp team and Ryan Leslie for me is really promising, he's got a good future and could anchor the whole thing in studio if the flames move to TSN. Kelly and Rick are one of the best local teams in n the league... Wish they could call playoffs.
