Even though Rob Kerr would not likely take this as a compliment I genuinely mean it as one.
Rob Kerr, if you are reading this you need to go to pro wrestling. You would be AWESOME at it. Maybe the best ever.

I found the fight calling to be massively bush league. Obviously Kerr and the radio station thought it was fantastic, but it was embarrassingly bad and cringe worthy. I'm glad that has been put to bed permanently (because he's on TV now, obviously, but it had to end one way or another).
I can live with Kerr on PBP. He's quirky and a little awkward at times, which I kind of enjoy, and he's undoubtedly passionate about the game and the Flames. I liked Loubardias and didn't really mind Millions, but I'll still watch regardless of who is calling it. Maybe I'm just not that picky.
I do like what Tinordi said a few pages back though: Having an option to listen to just the on-ice sounds would be great. I know that it will never happen, and I mean no disrespect to those that call games, but I like hearing the skates, sticks, boards, players and coaches yelling, etc. and could do without someone's voice. The CBC strike a few years ago was an interesting experience.
