With a picture of Ron McLean popping out to scare everyone?
I was really hoping he would retire. The time to move on from him was 20 years ago.

I'm going to assume that's not true. He's a harmless tv guy. Most people just don't care.

I'm going to assume that he's a lot more popular with casual viewers than he is hardcore hockey fans that got sick and tired of his unrelated storytelling well over a decade ago. It's not just this forum that's not a fan as they don't like him at HF either.

Careful, you may want to get some guarantees if any volunteers step up

Ron fellates McLotteryball and the Oilers more than anyone else on the network. HNIC would probably be seriously punished if they got rid of him.

Why don't they just promote David Amber.
Ron is just the worst.

Amber isnt much better. He's basically the same thing with less amateur poetry.

I got a feeling that Ron MacLean will never leave Rogers/HNIC. He will continue for another 15-20 years, unless he is forced retire to due to serious health problems...

I’d wager the share of the Canadian NHL TV market that’s over 60 is a lot bigger than people around here assume. And they probably like MacLean just fine.

He'll never leave willingly.

I’d wager the share of this board that’s over 60 is a lot bigger than you assume. And they ####ing hate Ron MacLean.

Maybe it's the youth that love Ron. Maybe Ron has a whole side to him that us old guys just don't know about. Ron is out there posting memes on Tiktok and live streaming on Twitch and we are all clueless.

Probably not. As a Leaf fan we know Howard Berger is pure trash. He makes stuff up all the time.
