I like Media Monday! I'm glad you brought up the Chelios/Messier issue. They seem so stiff and it makes conversation far less fluid than it should be for national broadcast. Not to be too much of a homer, but I feel like Razor is such a prime example of player turned analyst. Knowledgeable but confident and entertaining. Hopefully P.K. can do the same.
I enjoyed this read and, despite having much less context for it, as someone who only really watches early games (from a non-north American market) and with much less awareness of the different broadcast teams etc), I would still be interested in more.
Perhaps something on the fan perceptions of locally broadcast games vs national? I know that I get a bit disappointed if one of the few Stars games I can watch doesn’t have Josh and Razor’s commentary etc, but I don’t know whether this is something other people care about too much?
thanks Hannah, and love the feedback.... in general, I've noticed fans across the NHL prefer to hear the broadcasters they know and are used to, that comes with a familiar voice and one that actually follows the team all season. So you are part of the majority in that thinking, Stars fans want Stars broadcasts.

Razor is a prime example of someone who put in the same work as a player that he put into broadcasting, clearly some are better at it than others.

I, for one, enjoy #MediaMondays
consider this a vote to continue doing it then!
The workings of the media have always been of interest to me. I'm on-board with this feature, and congratulations on 200 paid subscribers!
I like Media Mondays, too, Sean! Will be interesting to watch PK and perhaps he can help ESPN. The TNT studio team is so much more enjoyable!
