Kirsch is brutal. No way around it.
Loubardias, I get it. He's been in the business a long time and has been burned more than a few times. He's not going to offer the hot take or any real critical analysis. The last thing he needs is to get canned for saying something critical. That said, a guy who watches as much hockey as he does and gets paid for his "analysis" should be able to come up with more in depth commentary on a show like Hockey Central at Noon while being fair. Instead, I find he defers too frequently to things like "confidence" and "slotting" so that he's not rubbing anyone the wrong way. To hear him talk about confidence as a big issue with the PP and not mention even surface issues like perimeter play, lack of cross ice puck movement into scoring areas, no one on their off side for quick one timers, etc... Nope. Just guys lacking confidence and tough slotting when Versteeg got injured.
