You know that things are going well for the flames when our biggest complaints are about the commentary from a decent colour personality who also happened to be a women's hockey great.

You have no idea what I am looking for.
She has gone out of her way lately to pump Smith’s tires. She was, as you and others mentioned, fair on the goal.
I like her work generally.
I like that Smith stopped everything that he should have. He has been steady lately but not called on to be spectacular.
Generally most media folks close to the team are overcompensating because of the beating Smith has earned and taken all year.
And the amount of time she spent early this broadcast and all of the previous time he played was too much.
If you don’t believe me, go do the drinking game. Take a PVR’d game he has played recently. Every time Smith is complimented for routine plays, or for no actual play but just as part of the colour, have a drink. Then you can tell me I was right when you get out of the hospital
