Any broadcaster as a general rule is more excited when the home teams scores, even Maher has more excitement in his voice when the Flames score. Having done play by play on a volunteer basis for a junior A team for the past 4 years, I would say there should be some restraint on the criticism, it is a lot tougher than it looks as a few people have discovered when I have needed an emergency replacement for 2 or 3 games. Kerr is probably a little more excitable than most, but at the end of the day I imagine it is what the majority of Flames fans want or else Sportsnet would probably be looking for an alternative.
