If he is, he is by far one of the most annoying voices in all of the NHL.  To me, he's like fingernails on a chalkboard...and a bunch of other analogies that I'm not going to bore everyone with.

Yeah, he's the TV guy. Annoying as heck, but when you have Center Ice and you've seen Curt Keilback call a couple of Coyotes games, suddenly Jeanneret isn't so bad.

Call me crazy (take the bait or don't), but I don't hear much of a difference in the theme. I'll have to listen more carefully next Monday.

I caught a brief interview with Drew on NPR's All Things Considered this past Friday. He was talking about how little the show had changed in 35 years. He said that Bob, Roger and some other staff members didn't have cell phones, computers or even cable TV.  He made a really funny comment about them being amazed by his iPhone. :)

During this interview, he said that the theme was being broadcast in stereo for the first time and how he couldn't believe that when they told him. He said it demonstrated the "stay with what works" mindset on the show.

Rick Jeanneret is an acquired taste. Once you listen to him for a season (I've been listening to him for about 13 years) you get used to him.

Well, you won't have to worry about Mr. Keilback anymore -- he was let go this offseason and replaced by Dave Strader.

(To go slightly off topic, the Coyotes were blasted by fans here in Phoenix in how they handled Curt's dismissal.  I actually happened to like the guy.  I wish him the best.)

Probably a peach of a guy, but just a completely awful hockey broadcaster. How he worked as long as he did, I have no idea whatsoever.
