Hrudey has a good voice, and does offer insights at times. I don't mind him, even though he often gets names wrong, and he often starts saying something and then just trails off into silence. It is like his brain kind of stops telling his lips what to say and he starts daydreaming or something.
Cassie is 'fine' to me. She isn't as interesting to listen to (or as 'fun' as Hrudey is), but she does a decent job usually. She doesn't irritate me - sometimes I like what she says, and sometimes I wish she would move on quicker into something else.
I still can't complain at all. I couldn't stand the combo of Rob "quiet.. quiet... SCREAM SCREAM... quiet quiet" Kerr, and Charlie "Moving his feet" Simmer. No Rob, I don't need you to start shouting: "WHERE IS IT?!?!?!" when you lose sight of the puck. No Charlie, I don't think every single play either developed or didn't develop based on if player X was moving his feet, or not moving his feet.
Yeah, Cassie is monotone at times and I find she sometimes digs too far down on something and is a bit wordy, but I am not complaining. Flames have come a long way since the dark days of Rob Kerr and Charlie Simmer - both first class people and generally 'good guys', but just so difficult to listen to.
