Two minutes into the game and it already looks like one of those games that might not be very entertaining.

You'd think it was a game between two terrible teams or something.
 
What are everyones thoughts on Paul Romanuk?  Honestly I find him incredibly monotone and it really doesn't lend to a good energy for the broadcast.  I do enjoy Johnson.

Honestly, I think Johnson is the best analyst who regularly gets on TV. He's smart, points out insightful things and isn't afraid to simply point out instances when the refs make a mistake.

I don't love Romanuk but I like him better than Hughson or Cuthbert.
 
Real battle of heavyweights tonight.

Seriously. The level of execution is only slightly higher than what I'd expect from two teams made up entirely of sumo wrestlers.

Yeah. He's not super exciting or anything, but he also doesn't have a clear bias or use phrases like "smeagoled."
 
Johnson with a good job explaining why Phaneuf should have received an interference penalty there.

Seriously, that's all I have to say about this game so far.
 
The Leafs PP strategy is awful.  It's a bunch of peripheral passes that don't make the defense or goaltender shift.

They cut the Lou interview short so Kypreos and MacLean can shout at each other like complete idiots.

Sportsnet!

MacLean doesn't know how a salary cap works.  Kypreos is a moron.  Let them fight.  Just put it on Sportnet 11 and stop giving them prominent roles in hockey broadcasts.  It's honestly amazing to me that Rogers can look at this crap and think that it isn't a factor in why

It's amazing how badly they've missed the mark with their "experts." They basically took the loudest, but least knowledgeable hockey personalities in Canada and pushed them to the front, while letting all the good options go to TSN.

I'm in the US so rarely have the opportunity to see Sportsnet. That intermission show, especially leading up to that last commercial break, was completely awful.

Wait, a feature that highlighted a time when a team had too many men on the ice wasn't captivating?
