It’s the lack of integrity and neutrality on teams and players that drives people away. Rhetorical question: which team does the bbc support?
They rely solely on viewership. Hype and talent = viewers.

It’s a business. Not a governing body.

It's basically copycating the way the US media covers basketball for the past 15 years. Every segment must be made about the Lakers and / or Lebron (easier than ever since he joined them). Sportsnet just assumes that this will translate to hockey, as if they aren't very different audiences.

Regarding Kane..I've never seen this guy before, some doctor who breaks down sports injuries. Kind of interesting.

The myth of Mike Smith's puck handling skills persists
When will they do the math on convincing Keith (a 3 time Stanley cup champion Norris & Conn Smythe trophy winning dman) to retire for cap savings to use on Kane isn’t an improvement on defence.

Despite Keith's physical breakdown he still had a better brain than the rest of the Oilers D combined.

They didnt need Keith, they already had 5 Giordanos plus Nurse on that back end!

Not even a little, I'm glad to hear he's not gonna die from it and that's right where my sympathy ends. He may never be able to enter his e transfer info again to bribe women to get abortions, the horror.

That’s a big loss for them. I guess this means even more shifts for the wonder twins.

A business owner should seek to grow their market, not constrict it.

By focusing on one player or team, how does that grow the league?

Most viewers don’t support the Oilers. And they are no good.

I thanked Reggie, but I’m really thanking the person who spent $8.

Once Kane goes on LTIR they can finally bring Smitty off it.

I’m very curious if they use this new found cap space and make a trade for someone with some actual hockey acumen.

More importantly they trade their 1st rounder for the privilege of getting another Andreas Anthanasiou level player who faceplants.

Trading for someone like Hoffman to replace Kane would be typical Oilers. Make it happen, Holland.

This is of course what we all hope and dream of from a young age.

Was chatting with an Oiler fan and tbis seems to all but guarantee P.Kane to be on the first flight to YEG.

P.Kane will switch from 88 to 91 so they can save some cash on jerseys. Once they get the blood out.
