Loubo is a frikking hockey encyclopedia. I was like everyone else at first. His cadence and voice..... I had trouble with it. But he grew on me and I was and I am a huge fan of the guy now. When he went through that huge health scare, I felt compelled to donate a 100 bucks to his go fund me. A lot of these guys aren’t rolling in it like people think.
But it wasn’t unlike the Rob Kerr experiment. Unbelievable mind and knowledge, but the presentation lacked. PBP and colour requires the complete package. Jack of all trades, master of none. It’s impossible to expect every one to possess all the traits, especially when you start drilling down to the regional broadcasts, but there is so many people that could do a better job than Cassie, especially on a national broadcast. She has the gig of gigs, and it seems so cliched and mailed in.
“Gutsy Performance.”
What does that even mean?
Why do you use it to describe 50% of performances?
Isn’t it more suited to a Gold Favorite Speed Skater that managed to pull out a bronze despite a pulled hamstring?
It’s something to say, when you can’t think of anything to say.
Anyway. I am officially done with this topic. It just boiled over for me last night. And for the record, besides the Gadreau call, I think the PBP was excellent.
