I'll put up with that.

What I want from a colour commentator is either to add a bit of personality to the broadcast while not being obnoxious, or better yet, to add new information and context that I can't get from simply watching the broadcast. She does the latter really well. I have no idea why they use McGuire, ever, if they have someone like this available.

They are very good:
Brendan Burke
Butch Goring
Shannon Hogan,

AJ Mleczko,

Jennifer Botterill
#### no.

Brendan Burke is... mostly fine. Butch Goring is awful. He's one of the worst commentators in the business and should never be allowed to call anything outside his own living room. People need to stop putting a mic in front of him.

I have no idea who Hogan is but I don't think Botterill is good at all.
