I realize it's becuase the contracts of all those guys were up, and drastic pay cut was the only way to stay on, and none wanted to, but if Snet is looking for some savings, most logical reduction of unnecessary expenses for the panel is not having Hrudey fly in from Calgary 3 nights every weekend for 7 months.

And have Tara Slone report stories she did over the week, for Hometown Hockey during the Sunday night games, not have a full set and 3h production and day long activities each Sunday from Backwater Manitoba. I like the concept and appreciate what it's trying to do, but having a full set and having such a large scale production doesn't really make the stories and interview and overall theme from the town any better or more relevant.
