    To be honest, who on HNIC is WORTH watching? Seriously...

    Ron is a given. Still fantastic after all these years.

    I also like Friedman, and PJ Stock. Anyone else Im missing? It becomes a list of more bad ones than good ones.

    I was watching game one of Min/Chi.

    They had Dean Brown and Greg Millen. That was painful.

    But it's a tv network and they will show what gets the highest viewership. Don and Toronto are consistently the highest draws, and have been for awhile.

    I don't think it's that big a deal anymore, is it?
    Now that there's gamecenter and cable packages that show all the cbc regions.
    When they only show one team, how can it NOT be the highest draw. Unless they actually show other games to prove this to be true, how would they ever know??

    You could say the same thing for Habs fans. Every rink will have a ton of Montreal jerseys. That doesnt change the point that the show isnt called Hockey Night In Toronto. A little variety isnt a bad thing. Show some other Canadian teams on Hockey Night in CANADA every once in a while.

    And I think everyone likes Friedman.

    But I honestly think you are the first person I've seen who actually likes PJ Stock.
    Not trying to be insulting, just very surprised that's all.
    Hey. No worries on the difference of opinion.

    Compare him to Hrudey, and Weekes, he's an all star. MAybe thats my problem? Comparables are sooo bad?

    I think Cole has got the best voice for the games, but he's just a liiiiiiittle too old now.

    Hughson is my favourite.

    At least his hair has improved. Barely.

    The only one I listen to is Friedman, the rest are pretty much useless and/or annoying. Ron I like as a person, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy so I'm fine with him. I think he fills the role of anchor really well but he doesn't add much to the discussion.

    I struggle to understand why they can't get a former player who actually played as a true starter in the league and understands the game on some basic level. Take Keith Jones for example, we get him as an analyst on many of the US broadcasts and he's steadily been getting better. He's still kinda cardboard-like and one dimensional but I'd rather listen to him than those jokers on HNIC any day and that's sad

    Sorry, I love Coaches Corner. I know Don can make a true ass out of himself sometimes, but I still love that segment.

    If the Hot Stove or whatever the hell it was called was just Ron Mclean and Elliot Friedman I think they'd be on to something there. Stock and Weekes can suck it. The other guys? Meh.

    I feel that CC and Don have been on the steady decline of senility for the past 20 years.

    Almost unfortunate that....No wait. It IS unfortunate that my tax dollars go towards paying these monkeys.

    What is this odd feeling? I think...I think I actually wholeheartedly agree with you...****ing bizarre, I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day huh?
