Why?

I recall something similar to this happening last year. Jeanneret just isn't up to the West coast swings any more, I think. I might be wrong, there may be another reason. But I think he's just not up to it anymore.

From Phoenix on forward we'll get the home feed with home announcers, with random hosers filling in on radio. No big deal. I watch the Kings and Phoenix feeds all the time on Centre Ice - they're good. The Sportsnet feed is awesome. I just wish the games would be in HD because I KNOW for a fact that those outlets carry their games in HD. But, we all know they're be scratchy, blurry, crappy standard-def feeds.

If this means we get to hear Rick more years to come, I'm all for it.

maybe the sabres don't let rick keep the miles earned on the WC trips.
