Those interviews with Crosby, Toews, Hank and Tavares, Seguin, Giroux were actually really good.
As SilverSeven said, I don't get the hate for Strombo.

Phoney, fake, off, all good words.
And no, it isn't the hair or clothing.
Guy has that classic 'kissing babies bad politician' feel to him.

I think I can see where you're coming from but I think you're misinterpreting it. Maybe I'm wrong

Strombo's a solid interviewer, but I too have never been a fan. Couldn't ever really pinpoint why, but some of the posts in this thread have given me an idea of why. Maybe he'll grow on me a little as time goes on, but I doubt it. The round table discussions is his strength for sure.

During Coach's Corner last night, while Don was rambling incoherently about the shootings, Ron had this "STOP. TALKING." death glare aimed right at him the entire time.

I actually like Strombo, but not in the hockey setting. Maybe it's something I'll get used to, but I almost feel like he's being wasted in his current role.

He comes across as phony because he's not a hockey guy. Doesn't really understand the game like Ron does. I can't stand the SN crew and he's the worst of the lot.

If Don talked about hockey once in a while coaches corner wouldn't be so bad
Last week he talked hockey the whole time.
This week you knew he was going to do a military bit.
First week was a good ol Ontario boy rant.
Remember that Rogers has basically sliced his show to a third of the time he used to have... So where he used to hit all three cliches in one show, we'll probably see some cycling of the above

I can't stand the guy.
Comes off as a smarmy hipster elitist fake, and usually looks like he just staggered in the door coming off a bender.
That said, I didn't like him on his own show on CBC, and on Rogers/SN I really can't stand it. The whole Strombo/Kipper/Hrudey segments were cringe worthy on Sat night.

People commenting on his dressing habits? Really? Are you getting him confused with Don Cherry? lol
His haircut? What is this the New York Yankees (who have a clean cut policy)? Does everyone have to look the same?
I've been a fan of George since he was at Much music, when it was decent to watch. He's always been an 'alternative' kinda guy, doing the Punk Show, and metal show on much, so he's not a poser. He looks almost the same as he did 15 years ago.
He is an avid supporter of providing aid to developing/war-struck countries, unlike Don Cherry, who spoke out AGAINST providing aid to Haiti to help it recover from the earthquake.
They are two different people. One is an Archie Bunker clone, and the other is the complete opposite. I guess that is why there will be a differing of opinions.

I was exaggerating
Just seems everytime I catch coaches corner he's going on about dead soldiers or something . . . I just wish they'd leave the politics out of sports.
Talk about the damn game, let the "experts" talk about the other stuff.

agree with this 100%
I mean that as no disrespect for soldiers, the Canadian military, etc - I just think that politics/nationalism has no place in the NHL.
Radio Djs that make dick and fart jokes appeal to the lowest common denominator. Strumbo is not a shock jock in the slightest.... maybe you can explain where you are coming from...

Who said anything about his looks being the reason people don't like him? The only posters commenting on his looks appear to be the pro-Strombo crowd.
Haven't liked him since I first watched him on The Hour. His personality comes off as completely phoney.

I don't really understand the phoney comments, considering he's been basically the same for 15+ years...
I can understand not liking him because his background isn't hockey, but give him some time and that'll change. So far I have no complaints. If anything, I'd like to see both him and Ron have some airtime and get rid of Cherry, who is like a pox on the whole of hockey.
