As mentioned by many others we just don't watch HNIC as closely as we used to before, I noticed that a lot during these playoffs, we would have the pregame on mute while we listened to music and even the intermission at times. It's the local content I worry about. Most of us on here have been around long enough to remember the Joe Sports, Rob Kerr, Mike Richards, Andrew Walker days to what it is now. They have tried to do the best they can with what they have been given, heck they lost their boss Kelly Kirsch and still had to go on. Two guys that I would feel for the most are without a doubt are Pat Steinberg and Boomer. Steinberg carries that station at time and probably puts in way more than what he gets. He has done whatever has been asked of him it seems. I think a lot of us would miss the fan and especially the personalities like Steinberg, Boomer, Loubo and even Pinder & Derek Wills if they were gone. Good local guys that have made the most of what they have been give by their employer.
