Don't like Ron MacLean either. I find his diatribes to be insincere, superficial and fortune-cookie-esque, and when he involves himself in actual substantive hockey discussions (thankfully more rarely lately) he tends to not know what the hell he's talking about. Often he just jumps in to defend the league or excuse a terrible job being done by a referee. My general conclusion is that I couldn't care less what he thinks about whatever is under discussion and would rather he just leave the analysis to Elliotte and company.
Wish they'd just give the ball to Jeff Marek. He has his flaws too but at least his quirkyness is kind of endearing, and he's an excellent host in the sense of setting up the panelists to provide the content they're there to provide without interfering with them.
