That being said, Derek is a solid 7/10. Calls a game very similar to Peter, but perhaps not quite as into it... I would guess that will come with time as well.
The funny thing about that is... I remember listening to an interview on the radio with him - I think before he'd called any games - and he mentioned that he was told by 'someone' (he named the person - don't remember who) that he should tone it down a bit and not be so excited right off the hop. He said that he's careful now to have different tones/excitement levels for different parts of the game.
