Hated Bieksa as a player and still find him a bit annoying as a result, but his analysis is solid. I grudgingly admit that he's been a good add to the panel.
|
Hatred of him as a player aside I have heard that about him a few times as an analyst.
Years ago I started a habit of muting intermission and getting caught up on twitter, oilfans, etc as I find that more entertaining then the talking heads.
I might have to start watching intermissions again as I also like Friedman and usually find Burke to be an entertaining grumpy old man type foil.

I’ll watch intermissions unless I see Hrudey on. I can’t stand him. I still view Bieksa to have the Canuck stain on him, but he, and you, were spot on with that. Wood guy broke it down well too.
Nuge is often lauded for his 2 way play, but things like this seem to pop up every year (lack of defensive coverage).
|
I've never thought Nuge was this amazing 2 way player that some people make him out to be. Prior to paring him with McD or Leon, he was a 50 pt player who time and time again you would see him in a trail position, not tying up his man then seeing him looking skyward as his man fired in a goal. I think he is a decent 2 way player but not great. I love Nuge, I want him to stay but I never got why people made him out to be something he's not.
