It's been pretty decent so far. Helps a lot that Ball/Hrudey are fantastic for us Flames fans, we're spoiled. Friedman is the one I listen to the most overall, he's usually the voice of reason and has some great insights. Not much different from last season, but now he's 'the man' and it's great to have him on so much. Other thoughts:
- I love Strombo, loved when he hosted his own show, but he still seems a little 'off' on that set. I'd rather have Ron Maclean, but hopefully Strombo gets more comfortable as the games go along.
- Leah Hextall isn't a great fit. Not a fan. She just seems too quiet or too timid, I don't know what it is but she's one of the weak links IMO.
- Healy is a mess and shouldn't be on TV anywhere. Brings the quality down a few notches, he's irrelevant and annoying even if he's on less now than before. Any time on TV for him is too much. Cox isn't as bad, but I'd rather not see him on there either. I don't think the other guys take him seriously when they're discussing topics.
- Still not 100% sold on Kypreos, but he is much, much better.
