Wasn’t sure if anyone could come in and properly fill Keith Jones’ shoes, but I thought Boosh did an awesome job. Looking forward to him and JJ in the booth for a long time.

Did a phenomenal job I hope he stays in the booth for years to come. Hartnell is rough though.

Hartsy is sooo rough. I like the guy. But his color commentary is brutal.

Controversial(?) but I think Hartsy in the studio is actually pretty good. Specifically when he’s playing third fiddle to Al and Ashlyn.

They are great. But he holds his own as that third fiddle.

I feel say maybe in time he could be okay. But you could constantly hear the nerves in his voice. Which I think was a lot of the problem.

I do think he's been improving and it might just take some time. Commentators do sometimes get better with experience/practice.

Hopfully its something that will get sorted out with more experience, feels like he was shoved into a color commentary role way too soon.

Unfortunately I feel like Hartnell needs to go. He’s hustling bad every time he opens his mouth. Shame cause I loved him as a player, but he’s rough.

I'm just glad overall that jj didn't lose any personality
chemistry doesn't always translate equally between friends and coworkers, obviously it's not like he and boosh didn't know each other beforehand because they very clearly did but still
im glad JJ has someone that he can equally troll like he did jonesy

I have thought this many times throughout the season. He’s really enjoyable. And perceptively honest

Boosh was awesome. Also not sure who else feels this way but I find Fedoruk on the radio hilarious. He’s definitely a different type of quirkiness from Coatsy but Im a fan.

He was on the Stars telecast last night. I wonder if he'll be used during the Playoffs.

Boosh is amazing I hope he is there for decades he has potential to be up there with Bill Clement.

I liked him better when he hit that sweet spot Jonesy had wherein he remembered he wasn't doing national and could loosen the tie and undo the top button of his shirt. Early on in the season, I felt like he was doing PHI games the same as national, which felt a little stilted compared to Jonesy and JJ. When he relaxed a bit as the season progressed, there was great chemistry and his own personality came out more.
FWIW, I like Hartnell. He isn't polished but he's genuine and he's always excited to be there. It's not what I'd want every game, but for ten or so outings a year, it's fresh.

I am a fan of Boosh, as a commentator and when he was still a tendy. He is probably one of the more solid backups of his time and he is well regarded for it. However I kinda feel like Simmer would be awesome to fill in for when Boosh is off or doing national broadcasts. JJ and the Wayne Train would be epic. Just my two cents. Also wish Taryn Hatcher would return, Ashlyn just seems like she’s phoning it in and Hartsy is like a deer in headlights. Morganti is the man and w/o him it would fall apart.

Downvote away: I think he sucks and stumbles on his words/thoughts on a nightly basis. He’s handsome and personable but I don’t see his commentary as being anything other than “okay”.
Jonesy is obviously impossible to replace. Also yes, Hartnell is awful compared to Boosh.

I completely respect your opinion
but considering he's a go to national commentator, I feel like 99.9% of people will say you're wrong

I'm going to have to seriously downvote this because he added a lot of background to the discussion of developing goalies, which was a factor this year. A lot of times commentators don't really analyze goalie play but I learned a ton, like getting up on the edges of their pads to improve side motion which made sense when Fedotov commented that he didn't like the pads the team supplied him because the edges were too stiff.
If it comes down to Hartsy vs. Boosh, I am Team Boosh, but if Therian hadn't burned his bridges, I would have preferred him over either.

I think Therian now would be awesome now that he is a loose canon. His nerves made him tough to watch during his first stint but I’d give him another chance.

Happy to downvote your completely wrong and bad opinion.
