Maher used to mention it once at the beginning of each period, something like: ‘Mike Vernon is defending the Flames' net to our broadcast left.’ He always did that in the 80s, and into the 90s; then he largely stopped, perhaps because nearly all the games were televised and his bosses considered it unnecessary. I always thought it was a nice touch – put the listener into the picture by giving us a definite vantage point.
