Hopefully Ball wants to stick out West, as does Hrudey, because, hands down, this is the best broadcast team there is on Snet, and in a long time in general for the Flames; they were good as the late duo Saturday nights last year as well. On top of things, professional calls of the game, proper insight, everything you could ask for. A complete enjoyment to tune in, whereas the last two years, the mute button got a workout.
Hughson/Simpson up there as well of course (though Hughson's gotten a bit too snotty in his older years) but listening to the other national games with Randorf of Romanuk stumbling and stuttering through late Saturday or Sunday national games, and Mike Johnson repeating "unsustainable" for most of the season when he does the Flames games, I have a sneaking suspicion that year 2, our regional guys are going to have the chance to move up the Snet ladder, if they wish.
