Agreed. Coverage-wise, this is FAR better than having different games on different regional CBC channels. Most Saturday games are available to all as part of a basic TV package anyway, hell I was even able to watch two games in HD with only an antenna.
Depending on the match-up, hometown hockey has the potential to be more well-accepted than the Saturday night games. The former Hockey Day in Canada was too infrequent to have a regular following.
Strombo has looked slightly out of place on the panel. At this point, he'd fit in better as a guy at ice-level, or some other role. Maybe he just needs more time on the panel, as it's not a role to which he's accustomed.
