HNIC should learn from their past mistakes where they try and go 180 and it's never done right, and fans revolt. So any changes they make seem to be trendy which seems forced.
I don't hold MacLean in a terrible light like many here do. I find him hokey, and it's a little silly when the young guys and Marek try and emulate his style. I think he does well as his job, but his favourite teams at times shows, and that's annoying from a fan standpoint. He does great intros, and his puns are alright but he should pass the torch. His hometown hockey with Tara whatever, is just Canadiana junk. Drop that show, and Tara. One thing I hope they don't do is drop him completely. It's always a bit sad when you don't see someone you grew up with, who's still competent, drop from the show overnight. And that's precisely why HNIC has been managed so badly over the years with the drastic drops of personalities. So I hope he's back for things like intros, and small segments here and there, but as host he should pass it to Amber. Marek should be fired for the appearance of having an uptight rectum. Forget that guy - constant name dropper and dropping his kids' name all the time (hint: we don't care).
I do wonder what the betting line on Ron is leaving, though.
