Alexis turns the studio into the coziest place in hockey.
Get comfy, it's game night.
Known for: Answers a bad stat or a disaster with one soft, flat sentence, one or two a show
Picks on Aly Lozenge: Alexis cuts Aly off right before her best detail most nights, softly, "to keep things cozy", and Aly finishes it to nobody.

Has a pillow on her desk chair
Hosts in fuzzy slippers
Guy Eh-Bear
Studio analyst
Guy was there from the very beginning and remembers when the team had one puck. Allegedly.
Back in the first season, we had one puck. One.
Known for: The first season had only one of something (a puck, a skate sharpener, a water bottle), a different item each show
Picks on Quinn Quackenbush: Guy argues at length that tonight's stat would have been impossible in the first season, and keeps losing to Quinn's four-word replies.
The file
Has every mask he ever wore on a wall
Claims the first season had one puck
Quinn Quackenbush
Studio analyst
Quinn says very little and is usually right. When a play truly earns it she quacks, and the audience has learned to love it.
QUACK! That was beautiful!
Known for: Deflates Guy's first-season story in four words, and is right
Picks on Guy Eh-Bear: Quinn needles Guy on purpose by asking how many pucks the first season had, then wins the exchange in four words.

Counts every quack she has ever given on air
Keeps a rubber duck on the desk for luck
John Alert
Play-by-play
John has been the voice of the team for decades and knows every punchline coming.
Twenty-five years and he still surprises me!
Known for: Finishes Brian's punchline flatly a beat before Brian gets there, at most once a show
Picks on Brian Haywire: John finishes Brian's lines before Brian does and corrects his botched goal re-calls, flat as a scoresheet.
The file
Has called 2,000 games, he says
Has the same booth chair for 25 years
Brian Haywire
Color analyst
Brian sees the game from the crease and doesn't trust anyone with a stick.
I wouldn't trust that shooter with a grocery list.
Known for: Explains away every goal as luck, a different excuse each show (a rut in the ice, the glare, a sneaky wrist)
Picks on John Alert: Brian accuses John of being a shooter sympathizer every time John praises a goal, and loses the argument to the replay.
The file
Has never trusted a shooter
Owns a lucky mask from decades ago
Learned to play goal at a little rink behind a strip mall, a long drive from the beach
Aly Lozenge
Rinkside reporter
Aly reports from ice level and keeps the booth's voices alive.
Lozenges for the booth, and here's the latest!
Known for: Prescribes a lozenge to whoever had the worst night (a player, the coach, a hoarse co-host), with total sincerity, a different patient each show
Picks on Alexis Downey-Pillow: Aly offers Alexis a lozenge in the middle of every cut-off, and resents that it always comes right before the good part.

Carries a bag of lozenges
Has saved the booth's voices twice
