I am not the one to answer that question since—like I said—I don't pay much attention at the best of times. I think Craig Simpson is probably fairly good, and I have always liked Gary Galley. Is there anyone else?
I will say that while I don't think there are any especially good colour commentators in hockey, Cassie Campbell is in the end not much worse than almost everyone.

Maybe they should look at former coaches. Another guy I really like for the most part is Jeff Van Gundy on NBA broadcasts.
I used to like Harry Neale personally. But I bet that won’t be popular on here.
