Not a bad first show, but man they need to fix the camera always panning in. Really throws off the Jay and Dan moments when the camera starts off 50 feet away every time.

Also it all just seems so fake that they keep throwing out "American" stuff to make it seem like they know what they're talking about.
But the whole "WATCH IT" was vintage J&D.

That wouldn't work at all. It's an American station. They probably show about 5 seconds of hockey per hour.

Could be they certainly seem to have a big following. I personally don't find them great or terrible and wouldn't watch for them but depending on the cost they would have to pay Fox could work out for them. Can't imagine the SPortsnet 360 ratings could get much worse with the crap they show now.

I think they are great. But you don't have to live down here to know that that humour doesn't click with the average sports program viewer.

I find them mostly annoying but they do have funny moments.

I don't really find them funny, seems like they try too hard to be funny. Their podcast however, is golden.

They seem genuinely afraid of Tyson.

Huh? What they're doing is really no different than what ESPN was doing 20 years ago with guys like Patrick, Olbermann, Kilborn, and Mayne and I seem to recall that network turning out OK.

I find their banter pretty funny, the planned stuff is pretty meh. Onrait shouting WATCH IT! is probably hilarious to a minority of people which includes me.

I do think its kinda cool that the show is kinda built around them and there is significant buzz to go with it.

I do like them and miss them on TSN. Sometimes Jay got on my nerves - loud does not equal funny (at least to me). Sometimes he seemed to think it did.
