    I enjoy the structure of each telecast and the insights of Neil and Vic! They have great chemistry together, which comes out in the show. They focus on important events going on today, and also discuss on many things in a historical context. Their guests are also outstanding and most seem happy to share both poignant and humorous stories of NHL life.
