To me it seems like a bit of that "Cherryist" line of traditional thinking that keeps hockey interviews reserved, and probably stems a bit from reserved Canadian nature as well.

I get bored with them also, but the code of respect that exists off the ice with interviews and whatnot may be a good thing. Fighting, in my personal opinion, is already enough of a violent and goofy sideshow within hockey that you don't also need to have players describing how lame the other goalie is, or have Engelland looking directly into the camera and calling out another player like he's Triple H. General humour though I always enjoy. Guys like Pronger and Bryzgalov were always fun to listen to.

David Jones can give a decent interview. I remember Hrudey quoting him earlier in the season as having said something like "if I'm not skating hard, I'm actually pretty lousy...".
