I was driving through Chicago last night and figured I'd listen to the Min-Chi game. Without getting into too much detail, what Peter Maher brought to the table for Flames fans was pure class. There is nothing more annoying than listening to an incredibly homer broadcast, featuring complaining about reffing, screaming when the home team scores, etc.. Even the small details like mentioning the score and time frequently is missed in other broadcasts.
It has been a great pleasure listening to Maher over the last number of years, and I have many fond memories of falling asleep at night with my alarm clock as low as possible so as not to gain the attention of my parents. I myself will miss Peter, and I think the industry just lost a heavy weight that can't be replicated.
Best of luck Peter!
