David Amber I can also get very used to. Looks like Rogers has taken the time to see what the fans really want in hockey broadcasting: clean-cut and humble hosts/reporters. MacClean for game 1, Amber for game 2: both have a very strong "humbleness" about them. No smart remarks, no offensive wit, just respectful and mostly clean reporting. To further back this up, they removed all the smart-@sses from the show like Healey, Stock and Doug Maclean for starters (and yes even George- who seemed almost immature at times compared to Ron Maclean). Those guys they took out would fit in on NBC or Fox Sports (when they had the NHL), but not a Canadian hockey broadcast.
Canadians don't want flashy graphics, flashy sets, wooshy sound effects, gimmicks or some lame movie voice guy doing a montage... save that stuff for the American broadcasts, they like it. It really cheapens the whole experience. But CBC did it right. Finally it looks like things are falling into place
