Uh...not so much. He was a bit raw (read his book for some insights on that - it's kinda fun), but he did OK. Dave Hodge was getting oversold even then, and he was a lot younger. But Ron knew the game well and while there was some short-term yammering, it didn't last long.
If I had to compare that to Strombo, no way. Strombo is just awful. And not knowledgeable at all. He throws out things and you can see the real hockey people just trying not to roll their eyes. Blech.
