I get that SN uses one pre show for everyone but the Leafs it seems, but what's the point of a regional channel if the game that's on it (Flames) isn't the singular or at least primary focus?
2. I can understand Kelly Hrudey not wanting to be biased, but he needs to understand that this is a Flames broadcast and to say something along the lines of "I can't wait until after this game so I can watch the Oilers" isn't something Flames fans really want to hear or give a #### about. For a guy that preaches common sense, he often lacks it.

While I don't want Bruin-esque cheerleading from announcers, I do enjoy when a hockey person is actually a big fan of the game. I remember when Bob Mackenzie once said "The fan in me died years ago," and I found that kinda sad.
I was excited for the Oilers game too. I like to think Hrudey was pumped for the same reason I was... to watch them fail.
