Peter Maher was a radio broadcaster, homerism is to be expected there. He also called an even game in the play by play. When he called a goal, I'd have to listen to crowd noise sometimes to know which team it was.
On TV their is at least a semblance of calling an even game, even if it's not hidden very well.
Your right that I have no doubt Ball and Hrudey would be much different, but I find it irritating when they gush too much too. Remenda was really just on another level tonight, it was non stop. He actually couldn't say another players name without saying Connor first and correcting himself.
