The audio thing was an issue for one game...which seemed "unsync-ed" for a fraction less of a second than the Kerr era, but it was then resolved the next game and since.
I'll take some under-saturated colors on the HD cameras given the outstanding quality of our announce team.
Best in Canada, maybe the league, for a regional broadcast, both on paper before the season started, but then listening to them as well for the 10+ games so far. Ball with a great call, great understanding of when a play is ho hum and when it's building up, Hrudey with a good handle on what's going on and not always slipping into cliches, and awareness and insightful comments by both guys to understand what may have happened on a play that wasn't 100% apparent to the viewer...and overall just good chemistry between them and they seem to be enjoying it.
As another poster said, when games come on, one is hoping games are regional games, because we'll get a better call than the national guys. Certainly some karma, given the embarrassing circus act we had to put up with the past two seasons on the PBP.
