Their doing it on NBCSN too, can't really blame though. They're in the business of trying to draw in viewers. This is like gold mine to them.
Media is just really lazy nowadays is all. They could just simply be fair and ask intelligent, educational questions and give honest, insightful, thought-provoking answers about hockey-related topics. Or they could actually try to have a modicum of creativity in production and try something that's new and entertaining, instead of just spewing forth intellectually dishonest opinions and artificial hype to draw viewers.
It's just the laziest method to get viewers talking. I doubt many, if any, people actually watch to see guys like JR and Milbury hype up things in an artificial way or to have ******** opinions that would get normal people fired. It's just the easiest and laziest way to get viewers talking.
It's ****ing stupid.
