Yeah that's fine.

But that doesn't mean he or Cassie are good.

Craig Simpson is a great one to compare them too. He is beside Hughson and compliments him well. Great chemistry and flow.

These two have two of the best in the business beside them in Ball and Cuthbert.....and they get in the way.

I agree with Jiri though...it seems be coming a lost art.

Doug Barkely was the best i have ever heard on radio.

Harry Neale was absolute gold on TV.

All that being said, i have only ever turned off commentating twice in my life because it was overpowering the actual game...both times it was the Avalanche crew about 15 or so years back.

We just dont get anything close to that any more.
