I can't stand when they are talking down the flames who are clearly putting forward a solid effort to the dismay of the broadcaster. It's like their cheat sheets and game liners have been pre-written and they are upset they can't use them.

Not a fan of the national broadcasts so far for the Flames. Romanuk was in Europe for how long? Randorf was 3rd string at TSN. I think the format, especially for the Sunday night, is less about play by play and more about discussion (or so it seemed).
Outside of Friedman, not a lot to offer during the intermissions, but I've never been a big fan of in-intermission analysis. There's some lazy analysis talking in generalities, or too specific, picking on a player or situation in that period and projecting that as the be-all and end all of that player or the flow of the game.
Thankfully, the Flames have maybe the strongest team with Roger, Rick and Kelly on the call...considering that's where 75% of the broadcasts/play by play we're going to hear are going to come from, we're pretty well setup as Flames fans. Just do something else after the Roger interview after each period for about 10 minutes while Kypreos and McLean argue about something Leaf-related.
