I disliked the team but Hank was/is a class act. Guys good on TV for sure as well.

I like him (and goalies in general) doing commentary because they aren't afraid to call out bad goaltending on the ice.

They also give their opinion on what a defenseman should do from their perspective which is refreshing because sometimes it's different than what the former skaters say. Good point.
Kind of amazing we got Siegenthaler and Marino for the combined cost of Ty Smith and a couple of 3rd rounders.

A large part of being a GM is finding and acquiring undervalued assets and then maximizing their value. With these trades, Fitz has shown that he is a master at it.
Good god
Edit: Looking at the blue blip right in front of the net on the right side leads me to believe all he does is stand there guarding the net front.

This is precisely why I appreciate them as well. Brian Boucher has been one of my favorite analysts in the game since he retired and started appearing on TV about 7-8 years ago. I feel like he sees eye to eye with me about 80% of the time on the goals I call out as stoppable.
Last week Lundqvist was talking about John Gibson's side to side movement being poor and how it's been a problem for a few years now and on one of the goals that didn't at all look like a bad goal, Lundqvist comments that it's not as tough of a save to make as he's making it look, and kept talking about the way his knees looked and moved when moving east to west.
Kevin Weekes is the one big exception, as he's way too positive and way too much of a homer with the goalies, unless it's a REALLY BAD GOAL. He was the one getting so excited over Mike Condon on the NHLN a few years back and talking about how good he was.
The same Mike Condon that was out of the NHL for good within about 1.5 years ago and was completely out of pro hockey before he even turned 30 years old.

Even more so when you think about what they gave up to get him and compare to what we gave up for Marino or Siegs.

Nice to know that you can always look at PHI, VAN, etc. and realize it could be so much worse.
Easy to take the rebuild in that light.

Try to figure out what Gudbranson is doing other than being a early buy out candidate.

I like Steve Valiquette quite a bit as an analyst but I’m not watching Rangers broadcasts for him.

The on his knees move, where he vaguely tries to stop a shot and then spins away from all the action before the Leafs 3rd goal is fun (around the last :30).
His slow meaningless shadowing of Tavares is pretty good too.
When Risto handles the puck it sometimes looks like someone gave him a opposite-handed stick. It’s so awkward, and he’s supposed to be a puck mover. It’s like he got worse at it somehow.
I prefer him over this a-hole :
Valiquette is the biggest chode on tv

Sucks for him, as he's definitely been very good this year, but that was horrible.
Sens PBP guy is giggling and Giroux didn't even know it went in.
