Haha, this thread shows why he maybe had the stigma he had when Sportsnet hired him. He's been referred to as a non sports guy and "the guy from Muchmusic", which fails to mention that he started out in sports and hosted a successful talkshow for years after leaving muchmusic, before being hired for HNIC.
This wasn't a "get that young hip guy the kids watch on the music channel" hire, lol.
