And, given that I was around when the Hodge/MacLean transition happened, what I recall was not as visceral or generational a response, but one more based on perception of depth and knowledge.

Strombo, however, paints a different picture to those of us in the more aging portion of the population. He walks, talks and acts like a "wannabe". He pretends to know more than he does, and instead of skillfully querying those who actually played the game he often tries to tell them what's going on. Not smart.

On the other hand, he's easy to ignore. Turn off the sound and he's fine.
That's the strangest take on Strombo I've seen. He's not a wannabe, he's very accomplished. For crying out loud, he started in hockey, he just also happens to be very passionate about music and branched out.

He leads the interview, that's what he's supposed to do. I'm baffled by the dislike some have for him
