I like Gazdic actually. He is young and he will learn from this. Not everyone steps into this role being great. Sometimes you hit a big bump in the road, but I do think he is well-spoken and he will improve.
Sportsnet as a whole, however, needs to step up their game and make sure that nobody is waving pom poms for any team. It degrades everything about the show, especially the entertainment aspect. I dislike MacLean and I have started really disliking Friedman as well as he transitioned from "humble and insightful" to a bit too.. can't quite put my finger on it. I like Hrudey on the Panel. I couldn't stand Bieksa the player, but he is the panel at this point.
Gazdic is one of those interchangeable pieces at the moment. Everyone makes mistakes, and I do think a bit of time and seasoning will help him.
