One of, if not the best radio PBP guys in the history of the game.
Peter Maher's voice is as much of the identity of the Flames as the flaming C or the colour red. It is hard to imagine, driving along and not hearing the incredible play by play delivered by Peter. He was so good, I remember the days I had to listen to radio play by play, then going home to catch the highlights, and the play developed exactly as you imagined it when he painted the picture. He had an ability to paint that picture like nobody else.
I can remember being a kid, and listening to him on my clock radio, when I was supposed to be sleeping, and 33 years later, identifying with that voice as if the Flames, the ice, the building itself could talk.
This is like someone telling you that mom won't ever make you your favourite meatloaf anymore.
Peter, you are a true Hall of Famer, and wish you only the best in retirement. A true pro that set the bar even higher than the great Ed Whalen.
