On one hand I'm glad Rogers was listening to fans and is looking to upgrade their Flames PBP broadcasts. On the other hand Kerr and Simmer are great guys and it's always sad to see good people lose their jobs. I have no doubt Kerr will bounce back and selfishly as a Flames fan I hope he goes back to 960 to help stop that ship from sinking.
It will be interesting to see who is chosen as replacement as the pool should be a little larger with CBC talent available. As others have already said it's easy to find guys that know hockey and work hard but they really need to find a PBP guy with a solid voice as the last two IMO simply didn't have PBP voices. Millions does who knows if they will go back to that well. I would be okay with that as long as he got a strong colour man.
