Heard him in some interviews, he provided some great insight. I think he will do well.

I am looking forward to having someone on the pens tv broadcast that I can stand. I always liked Colby, and having listened to him on leaf-lunch a couple times think he will do a great job(he makes me laugh). If this was a normal off season I might say it was the best off season acquisition.

 

[Son Goku]

He's a cool guy, met him before. Pretty excited to see him on TV.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Having a guy like him who has been close with this core, and a downright funny guy, this makes tons of sense.

Solid move.

Go Army....

 

[AltDess]

Colby is doing a great job!

 

[#1GuinFan]

I think he'll do great in that position, he's got the right personality to make it entertaining

 

[Pens1566]

Fantastic. He was great on the game tonight.

Odd. I thought he had a job with TSN. Penguins overbid them?

 

[systemsgo]

He was great today. I'd love if he could replace Steigy.

What next? Ryan Whitney aswell? Whitney and Army calling the games for us.

That'd actually be a Hell of an upgrade from Steigy and Errey.

 

[TNT87]

I always knew he would return to the Penguins. lol

I like this hire.

Read the article.

The article doesn't say what happened with his gig at TSN. There's a single throwaway line about sportsnet.

 

[clefty]

That's because Sportsnet is who he's been doing work for the last year or so, not TSN.

i might be remembering wrong but i'm pretty sure he worked with sportsnet and not tsn last season

 

[Fordy]

having any normal humans on the broadcasts would be nice, hopefully that's colby and he doesn't turn into a... you know

 

[JTG]

Colby and Errey should be switched tonight - I think Colby is a great guy to add insight in one the game and what is happening on the ice. Errey is better up in the box. Colby can get guys to talk, so he can call up to the booth with little tid bits throughout the course of a game.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Colby would probably be too tempted to chime in on the trash talk.

 

[ColePens]

He was terrific in my opinion. He was funny, brought decent analysis, and was very natural.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I enjoy Colby as a commentator and such. Brings good insight and always fluffs off jabs.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Love Colby and he is a funny dude, will be fun listening to him

 

[Freeptop]

That'd actually be a Hell of an upgrade from Steigy and Errey.

You wouldn't get a lick of actual play-by-play, but the entire broadcast would be hysterical!

Thought Colby did a great job and was really comfortable on Sportsnet. A lot better than most of the stiffs they have in their stable. He'll do great on Root Sports.
