Oh god please come back to Calgary
I'm fine with the morning show personally, but the afternoon shows could really use a shot in the arm.

If it came to that, I'd keep Pinder over Boomer. At least Pinder has an interest in hockey. Boomer is that guy at the back of the class who goads other meat-heads into doing stupid stuff so he can laugh when they get in trouble.

Would be amazing if we could get him back in Calgary. I love Rhett in the morning but Boomer and Pinder (especially Pinder) are annoying and definitely not funny. The morning show was never the same after Mike Richards left. It would be an amazing tandem to have him and Rhett in the AM (IMHO).

I must be in the minority, but I was never a fan of his. I would be fine never to hear his voice again on Fan 960.

True.
The morning show is usually pretty good. The afternoon show is boring.

Pretty sure Boomer and Rhet have very good ratings and Sportnet isn't looking to "fix" the morning show.

Never was a huge fan of Mike Richards, but Boomer and Pinder are def annoying and not funny at all.

That story is from last August. I think there is a more recent thread about what he is doing now.
Found it:
http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...=mike+richards
Looks like Mike Richards is joining the private broadcast world and starting his very own thing called Raw Mike Richards.

Really? I think Pinder's hilarious. I like the dynamics of the morning show right now. Richards was ok funny before, but got real annoying near the end. I think it'd be a step backwards bringing him back for the mornings.
The afternoon show, I'll agree is pretty dry. If he wants to come back, I'd have him do that instead.

I thought I would miss Richards a lot more than I actually did when he left.
In hindsight I'm a little surprised that some of his bits were allowed. His Michelle Wie stuff comes to mind.

Taking a while to get to 5000

I really enjoy the morning show, listen to it every day on the way into and at work. I like Hockey Central as well. Pat & Kerr? Not my thing. Kerr ruins it for me.

It must be my own sarcastic sense of humor then, because I don't recall even smiling at anything Pinder has ever said, let alone laugh. Mike Richards doing his Steve Armitage stuff on the other hand....
To each his own I guess but I will agree with you about the afternoon show. Rob Kerr has got to go.
