Ron MacLean is the perfect example of the kind of guy I want running the show...knowledgeable, sharp wit, and willing to ask the tough question without being a douchebag about it. Now, I know you can't have a whole panel of guys like that, but he should be the model.

I agree 100% on everything you've said here. At first I couldn't understand why PJ had gotten the job, but he grew on me really quickly. He officially had me sold last season when he made fun of a couple of guys who got 'left hanging' when looking for high-fives after goals, it absolutely killed me.

As for MacLean, he is one of a kind, and the CBC should never, ever let him go. I don't care if they have to give him his own territory or maybe even a province.
