And away we go...

Is Strombo The New Hockey Night Host...???

According to TSN's Bob McKenzie... yes...

His series of tweets...

If I'm not mistaken, I believe congrats may soon be in order for @strombo and @CoachesCornerCBC.

Lots of talk @strombo will this week be named primary face/host of the other guys' nat'l package.

And @CoachesCornerCBC is reportedly getting a new 2-yr deal. Sounds like Ron MacLean still involved but not as main man.

George Stroumboulopolous has been a host for MuchMusic, CBC, and CNN with some very stellar guests and conversations.

With all due respect... What in the blue hell are you thinking...???

Let's minimize bravery from 343 and thousands of others...
Way to go...

The HQ had far much more respect for McLean before this...
Ugh...
