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.
Yes that was great. I wish it was an option on broadcasts. Kerr and Simmer are just a sad pairing. I'd far far rather listen to just the sounds of the game.
