I like Hughson, he's a great broadcaster. But he is no doubt, a massive homer. As a Flames fan it gets very hard to listen to him, for example, make excuse for Lack when the Flames score, and give nothing but credit to the shooters when Vancouver scores. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, he's emotionally invested in his team same way we are.

If these were regional broadcasts, I'd be fine with it. If he was a Flamer homer, I'd probably love him.

As much as I've whined about him lately, when you stop and think about it you can't blame him. Sportsnet/CBC's fault, they shouldn't have put him on this series. If he was calling these games and it wasn't against the Canucks, he'd probably be great
