I enjoy Howard but Brian seems to find a favorite story, especially if he’s part of it, and never lets it go. Love the Oldtimers.

I enjoyed the change with Russ as commentator. Linda and Ray definitely have their biases with teams and how to play the game…..it has gotten old. Thanks to TSN for giving us the coverage, I love watching the game.

I cant stand Linda and Ray, I have never heard two people say the word “mistake” so many times in a game as i did the Brier final. After just two ends of play I swear they said it 100 times. All they do is focus on mistakes instead of anything positive. Get rid of them.

A Question???? Why does Nunavet not have a team in the Brier or the Scotties?

I think Russ is a good commentator but when his brother is playing he really shows his favortism. He is worse than a Hockey Mom at times. Glen isn’t a tin god.

[...] has also been much debate, and lots of it right here on this blog, about the TSN TV curling commentators. The feedback thus far suggests that the newfangled team of [...]

Russ .. I love listening to you .. you are the best analyst/comentator for curling. I have learned a lot.

Make the game better and more exciting for the fans by: when a team steals an end they also get the hammer for the next end and not just the score. Prevents letting the team with the hammer just give up a point in order to maintain the hammer. This will make the steal much more exciting and the team with the hammer will be more creative with there shots in order to get the steal. We fans deserve a more exciting game as it is starting yo be mundane. Same old, same old stuff game in an game out, we deserve a change to make it more exciting. What do you think???

Russ is great – a breath of fresh air (and fresh brains) for TSN. Vic is absolutely clueless. And everytime someone throws a rock, Ray and Linda blather on and on about ANYTHING but the shot being played. It is time TSN dropped the three stoozes and got someone behind the microphone who can talk curling. Maybe CBC will fire Mike Harris (they fire every good commentator apparently) so that TSN could pick him up to make a good match for Russ. If only!!!

I prefer Russ Howard’s colour and insight. Right now I’m actually watching the GBR vs SWE game instead of Canada vs. Norway so I don’t have to listen to the “A” team. I agree with Pete though I like CBC’s Mike Harris’s commentary too but they didn’t get the Olympics!!

The problem with the Ray/Linda team is that you just dont learn much.
Russ is the man, a genius of the game, with so many insightful comments that only a world class skip can make CBS’s Harris is good too).
Sorry Guys, time to pass the baton, PLEASE.

Time for a change – tired of comments re fudge, bottles of red wine, what Kevin Martin would do, and meaningless stats that are often compiled by non-competitive curlers(paper they are printed on can be used as wall paper).
Look for new voices and new prospective analysts – there are some excellent people who should be considered.

I still like the old crew. Howard is good for analysis but he talks too much and bores me a bit, and Mudryk just doesn’t do it for me. Vic’s enthusiasm draws me right in, and while Linda does overdo the stats a bit and Ray’s gotten a bit cranky over the years, their banter and rapport makes it more entertaining. Unlike Cheryl21, I love the bad jokes and useless chatter.

Either way, both teams beat the old CBC broadcasting teams hands down.

Mudryk/Howard all the way!
Ray, Linda and Vic’s time has come and gone!
Russ is so much more knowledgeable then all of the threesome put together and a lot nicer to listen to
I sometimes have to mute my television so i don’t have to listen to that threesome anymore.

GO RUSS!!!
