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

You can tell Nick really has a passion for the sport. Lot's of times during Hockey Central at noon guys will be screwing around and you can see visible displeasure on his face as he is taking the subject at hand a little more seriously.
George I like, I just don't really think he is a good fit for the NHL. I guess that is just my opinion.
TSN must really be reeling after paying that high licensing fee for the old HNIC theme song now.
