Why I don't complain about Hrudey:

- His voice isn't monotone.
- He often adds insight on a play from the point of view of the goalie, which may be basic info to some people, but is interesting to me.
- He and Ball have outstanding chemistry. I get the sense these guys are good friends who hang out together, and the way they talk to each other is very entertaining.

There are two ways to be a good colour-commentator:

- Be insightful
- Be entertaining

I feel that Hrudey is almost always entertaining, and his goalie point of view allows him more flexibility with the "be insightful" part.
