Re: Grizz.
I watch virtually all my hockey on Canadian networks. Every single playoff game is on TV here. So the names won't mean much to you. Chris Cuthbert is a great play by play guy. Color commentators are not so hot. I'll go with Craig Simpson there, but he's just okay. Best studio host is Ron McLean by a mile and the best studio analyst is Kevin Bieksa. Funny thing is I disliked that little prick Bieksa when he played for the Canucks. Bit of an agitator, bit dirty, but would only answer the bell against smaller guys.
I think Mike Breen and Ian Eagle are the play by play guys that do the best job in the NBA.
Just as a general comment, at least on TV, I find Canadian broadcasters of local NHL games tend to be a lot less biased than their US city counterparts. Not a fair comment overall, because there are great ones (Dave Ransdorf for Tampa Bay for example), but a lot are just PURE homers.

That being said, homer announcers are just annoying.
