I much prefer Maclean, but Stromboulopoulos grew on me over time.
I think it's too bad because there was a place for him there which could've seen him eventually take over for Maclean. Like a lot of other things, Rogers blew this though, they made wholesale changes to a Canadian institution and couldn't understand why people who grew up with Hockey night in Canada would be upset. They should've made measured changes and people would have been fine with it and they could have accomplished their goal, which is to appeal to a larger audience.
