I think we have had to put up with less experienced people thrust into roles that they aren't qualified for.

Millen is old school, he really hasn't changed, but he's far from a crusty old dinosaur too, and is insightful and picks up nuances in the game,...mainly because he doesn't have his head buried in game notes that he forces in, to sound more authoritative and cover for inexperience.

Him and Ball have a great chemistry too, though I think Ball gets along with anyone.

I found it amusing at the end of the game he told Ball to wait for his comment, as Millen didn't want to jinx a Flames player getting hurt in the last 10 seconds.
