I remember always liking Hughson from way back. I was fond of his game calling. Maybe mostly because I couldn't stand Bob Cole's love fest for the Leafs. I liked Cole's voice, just not what he was saying. I found Hughson refreshing.
Over the last 5-8 years I think his fondness for the Canucks comes through too much.
One small thing that bothers me is what he doesn't say. When a Canuck makes a hit, small one or large, you hear about it. Some times when a Flame makes a hit, he says nothing. No big deal though.
