The Sportsnet entities seem to thrive on mediocrity. Calgary once had pros like Maher, Whalen, Van Horne, Mclean, Clemment , Bowmen, Meeker to a later extent, Neale, Peplinski Garret. I'd take any of those guys over the current bunch, even Doug Barkley, Mike Rogers or even Don Whitman. Calgary Media is like the C list of talent. I find myself watching the other teams feeds, or volume muted as the current crews are unwatchable, even the Pacific feed was better vs Nucks. Lord help us.

Pep was pretty bad and IMO Ed Whelan was much better at Stampede Wresting than he was Flames play by play, especially in his later years. Having said that, I'd trade all those guys for today's locals save for maybe Ball and Hrudey. I do still enjoy Boomer's morning show, as long it's hockey season and the Flames are still playing. After that, it's podcast season.
