Guys like Cole and Maher were natural storytellers. As much work as they put into the job behind the scenes, it never felt like they were trying that hard. It was like listening to an old friend tell a good story at the bar.
Wills doesn't have those natural traits. You can tell that being a PBP guy is his dream and he tries really hard to be a professional (and you gotta give him credit for that), but it all just comes across as forced. His voice is rather grating, his inflections are weird, and his goal calls feel rehearsed and oddly timed. It doesn't even matter what he says, he's just not a guy I want to listen to.
Ball and Hrudey, on the other hand, I think are a fantastic duo.
