No doubt.
There was an amazing interview with Strombo on XM this morning. He talked about his passion for the game and how hockey has been so entrenched in his life.
Then he talked about what he's trying to bring to Sportsnet and hockey. He was the son of an immigrant and always felt like hockey has never been as "inclusive" as it could be. There's always been a way to present it, watch it, play it, talk about it, etc. He wants to bring new people in. Get young people enthused. It was actually really engrossing listening to him talk about it.
I really think some people choose to have strong opinions about things for the sake of having a soapbox. I agree that strong personalities can be off-putting (old Kypreos, McLean, Cox), but the George hate from some is simply a random hated IMO. He's one of the best at what he does and he brings something new. That's refreshing and great for the sport IMO
