I have never seen the Oilers bias that many of you speak of. I think many of you just have a hard time seeing the people on tv say nice things about the other team sometimes. Major insecurities

Ron has not been the same since they fired Grapes. He’s had a “why bother” way about him ever since.
This is Hockey Night - there’s no place for anyone who isn’t fired up to be there. Ron is the last of that old guard remaining, unless you count Cuthbert.
Thanks for the memories.

I liked Strombo and would have loved him to get more of a chance.
You have to commit to your changes and give the guys opportunity to learn.

Me too. He was just a fan and didn’t pretend otherwise. And IMO the panelists were comfortable with him. Maclean tries to feed them too much.

Have they already shut down 960? I was listening on the drive home and it was barely audible with all the static and background noise.

HNIC should learn from their past mistakes where they try and go 180 and it's never done right, and fans revolt. So any changes they make seem to be trendy which seems forced.
I don't hold MacLean in a terrible light like many here do. I find him hokey, and it's a little silly when the young guys and Marek try and emulate his style. I think he does well as his job, but his favourite teams at times shows, and that's annoying from a fan standpoint. He does great intros, and his puns are alright but he should pass the torch. His hometown hockey with Tara whatever, is just Canadiana junk. Drop that show, and Tara. One thing I hope they don't do is drop him completely. It's always a bit sad when you don't see someone you grew up with, who's still competent, drop from the show overnight. And that's precisely why HNIC has been managed so badly over the years with the drastic drops of personalities. So I hope he's back for things like intros, and small segments here and there, but as host he should pass it to Amber. Marek should be fired for the appearance of having an uptight rectum. Forget that guy - constant name dropper and dropping his kids' name all the time (hint: we don't care).
I do wonder what the betting line on Ron is leaving, though.

Exactly my reaction when I saw those prices.
I watch the Flames and that's it. Use an HDMI cable or sync your smart TV and just Seven Seas that sucker.
Especially now that SN is trying to corner Canadian audiences into watching their McVomit.
Improve your product. Stop turning Flames games into ####ing Oilers discussions. Get real HD cameras, not the knockoff brand you've been rolling with. Sync the audio right. Then the rest of us might get on board with paying for your ultimatum package.

I'm in the states and listen to 960 sometimes. It's the only flams info I can get audibly. Once their season is over.. I'll pick up in October. Don't need potato chip competitions.

Let's not forget the added bonus of not giving a single dollar to the NHL/Sportsnet for their crooked league which only serves to push the narrative they want. You can also buy a chromecast for $60 and stream from any PC, laptop or phone. It also links netflix, Disney, discovery, crave and more so it's a $60 solution to an $80 per month answer
Edit: yarrrrrrr

Changes coming to HNIC and Fan960?
I prefer David Amber, who has actually has a good rapport with the regular panel members. Ron is cringey to watch.

Tough day for sports media in general as The Athletic cut 8% of its staff today. I haven’t seen if local folks were let go but the cuts affect 46 people and markets in Winnipeg, Phoenix, L.A, and much, much more.

Rapport aside, amber is a complete coiler and mcdingus ####. Any chance he can change the narrative to mcIdiot, he will. Complete, subjective " broadcaster"

The nerve of him wanting to talk about the best player in the game!

That's the thing though. They aren't talking about Makar.... The real best player in the world.

You’re right. The playoff he had was so-so and not worth talking about.
