If they wanted to get rid of Ron, Cassie Campbell would have been a better choice, at least she knows hockey.

I have never liked George Str-alphabet soup... when Cherry and MacLean are no longer hosting, I'm flipping to other channels on period breaks and leaving the post-game entirely.

I always assume when old Strombo isn't on camera, he's in the shitter getting the shorts out of his ass from the wedgie he got from the hockey guys he works with. He just doesn't fit into sports.

He hasn't been the host all season, not sure why it would be any different for the playoffs.

Playoffs is a whole new season. Rogers needs to sit up and notice what people are saying.

Just saying

First year out, I guess they're feeling their way around. I was never a big fan of seeing MacLean all the time except on Coach's Corner, but he does a better job and fits in better than Strombo.

I watch HNIC for the hockey and could care less about the talking heads.

I don't think viewers are going to tune out from the hockey because of who they have hosting the little bits before, during and after.

True especially with PVR and the "pause" button. Hit pause and got to the bathroom.........then hit the "live" button.

That's the best time to take a piss or grab another drink!

Frankly, Don Cherry is a little stale. I like Don, but the rants are getting a little old and predictable.

[Regina]

I would agree with that, although I really only saw him a few times this year.

[Zipperfish]

Good riddance to Ron McLean, the weasel. And yeah, they should get rid of Don Cherry too. The only guy I ever liked was Fathead Mackenzie on TSN for some reason.

Apparently you're in minority. The poll at the bottom of the page gives Ron MacLean a 90.37% favourability rating over the CBC's other talking head, George Stroumboulopoulos who, clocked in with a colossal 3.01%

His qualifications for the job are outstanding though. He's a self professed hockey fan.

In the end, that really doesn't matter.

People don't watch HNIC Canada to see Ron MacLean or Strombo.

They do when the Leafs and Oilers are playing.
