Reading the current content of this thread, wow.
Apparently I am in the minority, but I quite like Derek's call of the game. I thought it turned out to be a pretty good pick, all things considered. Is he perfect? Nope, but I think he's pretty good. And like whoever else it was that said it I really like the flames are on the left side of your radio, the other team on the right...
Its play-by-play of a hockey game. I didn't realize people could get so worked up over it.
Is he a horrible insider on the morning or afternoon or whenever that is? Yup. But so was Maher; he was just as bad. But I expect that to be honest. They are play-by-play guys, not breaking news insiders or whatever.

Oh, this X a million. I lived in Edmonton for ~3 yrs and when I would first tune in to games on the radio I thought it was a joke. I know I'm biased as a non-oilers fan, but if you guys think Wills is a homer, watch out for this guy. And if I had to listen one more time to "this is the OILERS..........................Radio NetWORK" I was going to lose it...
(ok I guess with the above I am now one of the people that I decry, but still, I can't believe how wound up people get to a radio broadcast).
