Bleh. Romanuk is the worst of the 3 national crews Snet/CBC used. PBP is behind, fumbling around, regularly missing names (and although correcting, taking twice as long), just not as good as Hughson, or Randorf on the call. Not that Randorf is a lot better, but Romanuk stumbles around a lot and has odd times when he gets excited and seemingly misses other big moments.
Johnson is ok, but has a bit of an air of arrogance about him, and likes to pat himself on the back a bit too much. He coined the "unsustainable" phrase way back when, starting with the game where Hiller saved 49 and Calgary won in OT. That was Game 5, middle of October.
He repeated it every game he did for the Flames since, and he's had his words shoved down his mouth now for 6 months.
Together, certainly got the short end of the stick out of the national crews.
And, no more Friedman, Kypreos and Hrudey studio crew...they are doing the east games. Instead, its Millard, Stock, Doug MacLean, Shannon, Pang and Cox.
