Is anyone else bothered by the constant references to what junior teams players were from in the middle of plays?
"Here comes Doofus McDoof up the right wing! He hails from Naredowell Saskatchewan, where he was a part of the Double D line for 3 years, making the team as a 10 year old. I called him the Smiling Assassin."
I don't care. The player probably doesn't care. It smacks of "I have media notes I memorized".
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'd kill for a bit more dead air, or thoughtful/funnny observations (a-la Kelly Hrudey).
