One thing I think was beneficial for Maher was that he had a foil - Doug Barkley, Mike Rogers. They weren't afraid to call out the flames/cast them in a negative light, which helped balance some potential for Maher to be an over-the-top homer. I'm not so sure Derek has that with Peter.

Peter Maher's 'over the top homer' moments came when the team 1) made the playoffs after seven years 2) won a series 3) won a championship 4) when our players did something historic.
Otherwise, he called it as down the middle as you can ask for a team's radio man.
