Putting Loubo on PBP is like asking a winger to play centre. He ended up falling back on cliches and had some pretty strange turns of phrase. The role is far more demanding than analyst and he just didn't have the skillset - he's better as a support player. I was one of his biggest critics when he did the PBP, but I do enjoy him in an analyst role.

Cassie's in the exact same boat IMO. She usually pretty good when on a panel or intermission segment where she has time to prepare, but she ends up falling back on cliches when she has to come up with interesting, on-the-fly analysis for a full broadcast.

Hrudey's not much better but he's more affable than either so he gets away with it.
