So of the dozens of NHL color “guys” out there, who actually provides anyone with new insight into the actual game? I’m hard pressed to name one that is particularly insightful and when I watch, it’s just mainly background noise. Some nice rapport with the PBP person can make the viewing experience more pleasant.
IMO football and golf are where the announcers are really worth listening to. And a couple of the NBA color folks are good. I like Doris Burke and Van Gundy.
But hockey. It’s been a long time since any in game analysis has struck me as really improving the viewing experience.
