This wasn't a "get that young hip guy the kids watch on the music channel" hire, lol.

Didn't he also have a CNN show (briefly)? Also as for him being young I believe he's in his 40s now. I think Sportsnet has bigger on air personality issues than him as host. He's close to the bottom of what needs to be changed. But since he stands out as an outsider to old school hockey fans, he takes most of the heat.
