That being said, Hughson is the best in the business. No Play by Play guy touches him and I'm not just saying that because I'm from Van. It's a known fact in the industry.
So quit crying and enjoy his work....

I don't think anyone is saying that Hughson isn't technically good at his job. I personally think he is a great play by play talent and he has a nice voice as well. I also don't think he is offensive in any manner, but his homerism just cannot be hidden. Like I said earlier, at times I think he realizes and then tries to compensate the other way, but it never hits the mark the same way.
Simpson is a true-blue Oiler. He is neither a Canucks or Flames guy by nature, but I think he does a good job of trying to be the Yin to Hughson's Yang (which is this situation puts him as a Flames advocate at times).
