Jen Botteril is like having your grandma talking hockey, just terrible. So forced.

I’ve gotten used to Bieksa’s accent. And over the years more recently I’ve soured on Friedman because his ego grew a bit (Lebrun being the absolute worst) but he’s been put in his place by Bieksa enough that he doesn’t take himself seriously and occasionally throws it back at him which is fun. Botterill I don’t mind at all. I figure she’s had very limited training and from that perspective I’d say she’s doing great. Recently they’ve been giving her the softballs though and so it’s just obvious cliche lines which kinda sucks for building her credibility.
