Overall, after the first few months I'd say they do a pretty good job. I think Dave Reid does a really good job albeit alittle stiff with the analysis and insider info. I like how they show the fights as part of the highlights as in some games the fights do play an important part whereas ESPN and other outlets don't or they show the fights but nothing else!
Probably the worst thing is ex Calgary gm Craig Button. You have to watch him as he looks like Cindy Brady that one episode where she just stares into the camera the whole time, he does the same thing!! Half the time he's staring into the wrong camera and you can see his eyes wandering for direction and by the time he turns to the right camera they are on the other camera!! Neil Smith is pretty good and much more comfortable in front of the camera. The rotation of the main studio hosts could be alittle better in my opinion. I'm not saying you have to have Don Cherry doing it but the show could use a personality influx and it seems like they are trying out differant people. Chris Therrien was on for a few nights last week but he looked like he had to make a bowel movement the whole time. I know they can't get Kelly Hrudey but someone of that nature I think would help the show a bit to inject some life/humor into an otherwise very informative wrap up show. Maybe they could bring in a Phil Esposito type as he was great on the Ranger games although I'm not sure what he's up to these days?
