I prefer Kevin Martin and Joan on Sportsnet over Howard and Bernard on TSN.

I actually like that Russ & Cheryl aren't afraid to be negative. Sometimes a bad miss is just a bad miss. I hate when the commentators make excuses. I find they are usually pretty spot on as to what went wrong - if the skip gives too much or too little ice Russ usually tells the viewer that before the shot is even thrown, if there is a faster line they are usually on top of that. No reason the skips shouldn't know the ice as well as the commentary team.
