BUT.. I think that he's kind of losing his touch as a colour guy. I think he's a great analyst for the national broadcasts, but I don't really love him doing colour. I actually really like Greg Millen and Ball together. But I also think it would be pretty sweet if the Flames had colour from Meaghan Mikkelsen on TV. I never listen to The Fan now that I'm in BC, and I absolutely detest Derek Wills, so I didn't even realize she normally does colour on the radio now? But yeah, Wills can't call a game to save his life. His intonation is just the worst.
Yeah, she replaced Loubo after he left in the summer.
