It's funny how replacing him with someone over 10 years Pinder's junior somehow made the show feel older..probably because his replacement (who I like) loves staying home, crushing food and movies as much as Boomer & Rhett do. As opposed to the contrast of fun-loving, "patio beers" Pinder bringing the energy and getting on their nerves to bring out the chirps and liven things up. That and his obsessive analytics side kept the topic on sports a lot more than they do now, man those guys love food.

I like Klein, but he's the lovable dope as opposed to the foil that Pinder played so well. He's doesn't have the chops to maintain his own opinion. This morning he was calling out Gaudreau for making the button hook after zone entries. Boomer interjected that Gaudreau has no other options and Klein did the old "wait, you didn't let me finish" so he could do a hard back track.
The thing with Pinder was that he had his own opinion, it didn't always jive with Boomer/Warrener and he was willing to dig into the topic which created friction and better radio.
