I think some play by play and some color analysts just need time to hit their stride.

I couldn't stand Loubo when he first arrived. He had that grating voice. However, I really came to appreciate his insight and his mannerisms, and he was fantastic. I tried to give Kerr the same benefit of the doubt, but as time wore on I found him to be more and more annoying. Simmer was 'ok' at the start, until his analysis started becoming sooooo repetitive. "Again, this all comes from PLAYERX moving his feet". Moving his feet. Moving his feet...

I thought Hrudey was just 'ok' when he first came on, but you could tell he was quite nervous and just not seasoned. I still hear Hrudey make a lot of mistakes (seems like his brain moves faster than his mouth sometimes, if that makes any sense). I still quite enjoy him. Campbell is 'ok' for me - I have noticed her improving already, and as long as there is improvement I am willing to just see how good she becomes. Sometimes you just have to give someone some rope to find their way.
