Being remote and disconnected from the team half of the time and not being able to see beyond the confines of the TV screen or between plays while being expected to feed the audience information they can't get at home must be incredibly frustrating.

Costs be damned, the travel should come with the job. How can they be insiders if they only get to see players at the dome, and not on the bus/plane/hotel/away rinks?

I don't think any one who works their way up to get a role at the NHL level put their time in to do what they've now reduced the job to. Like Loubardias said on BB, being at the rink matters.
