You know the bummer thing about Sportsnet broadcasts?

They're robotic. Even when there's 'chemistry' it's just inside jokes without much engagement for fans. It's a bad production, and generally always has been. We were lucky it got carried by Ball for the last few years, as he's legitimately excellent at his specific craft of PBP.

Now? These guys may as well by AI voices, because it's just generic rubbish. "This is a sentence of things about topic A and topic B", 10 minutes later: "This is again Topic A like I said!"

No one involved in Flames broadcasts at this point are excellent at their craft. Could be that's just what a market our size can allow from a budget perspective, but I don't buy it. I think Rogers has fumbled every aspect of their broadcasts since they got the contract, and limited their financial upside and that limits the money available - and what is available, gets spent on ridiculously stupid stuff like Ron MacLean's salary.
