ESPN

I am finding it difficult to watch your viewing pre-game and intermission reports on NHL coverage and this saddens me because hockey will always be my favorite sport. I am a true fan of Steve Levy, Mark Messier and Chris Chelios - they are all legends in their own right, and that works great for us out here watching your telecasts. However, placing P.K. Subban alongside them is a terrible judgment call from your network and quite frankly (and I'm not just speaking for myself here) this DOES NOT work at all. He is listed on the internet as a "broadcast analyst for the NHL on ESPN" and man, is that being ridiculously generous for a title. He is terrible as an analyst and just because someone has played the game before does not mean they do well in the studio... case in point. Mind you, I have nothing personal against this guy but he does not fit in nor belong there. Messier and Chelios are extremely seasoned veterans of not only NHL glory and fame, but also many dedicated years in the studio and to slide Subban alongside them is a downright insult, especially with unlimited former players to choose from that are not only knowledgeable, courteous and insightful but also a nice fit. In particular, Subban is an obvious narcissistic and has never met a mirror he doesn't like for starters. He also interrupts the other gentlemen often when they are getting their points across. Next, he is a fame junkie and behaves like a diva at the table. The attention always has to be on "him" instead of our beloved NHL game and the storylines within. Notice how the other three gentlemen always have nice suits on and Subban is dressed like a manager for a local strip club, it's really not funny it is terrible hiring from management at ESPN. Shame on you for creating this mess. Subban is a clown and rarely serious not to mention his etiquette lacks dearly. Again, it has to be said so why not from me, a 21-year retiree and disabled U.S. Navy veteran who loves hockey as much as my country. Subban can feel free to contact me personally if he disagrees with what I'm saying, but something tells me he would just smile at this and tell the other guys "he's right, but I've got a contract and I'm living the dream". I highly doubt that you will take this message too seriously nor do I anticipate ESPN actually researching this or taking action, but I feel I had to express my thoughts because I have been a viewer since your network began from the very beginning in 1979 with the likes of Chris Berman, Tom Mees, *** Vitale, Bob Ley, Roy Firestone and Greg Gumbel. Hey, surprise me and let me know this is being taken serious. We'll see... Sincerely, G.W.
