Anyway, I like Mikkelson as well. For someone still a little newer to broadcasting, she fits in really well. There have certainly been other ex-athletes turned broadcaster that take longer to progress. It often takes years for them to find their voice.
If I were to guess Milliens funeral was on the same day as the game so I suspect Hrudey was there .

MM was fine but So was Cassie Cambell here first year or 2 before she got bad. I'm a jaded fella so I want to wait and see. I remember we all loved her at first then it went sideways.

As for Abbott he was okay. I'd say 50 % of the time he was behind the play like the speed of an NHL was a bit much for him in the first year. Like say hubby made a pas to the d and they passed it between each other to a 4th player you'd hear Hubey passed it to the 4th player in the player evennthon3 players in between played the puck already. I'd say he gets a passing mark for year 1 but at times reminded me of Rob kerr and to a lesser extent millions at times. Good first year and hopefully skakes the lesser tangible off of the aforementioned pop of the past.
