Yes and what has changed? LeBrun is right there but he's less accessible than Frank these days as you get maybe one Athletic column a week regarding rumblings which are usually pretty good. Fans are so weird as they crave insider information but immediately turn on them if they think he's not a fan of their team. Is he cocky? Yeah but so what? As long as he's got information that's all I care about and he had a lot of information on the Flames over the past few years and almost all of it right. That's what matters to me. They guy doesn't have to blow smoke up my ass or cater to Flames fans, just let me know what's going on behind the scenes. Fans were maybe spoiled with a classy guy like McKenzie for decades but before him it was abrasive guys like Al Strachan and Red Fisher that we had to rely on. At least he hasn't been leg humping McDavid for years like Friedman calling out the league to make special rules for a star player. Bob McKenzie will always be my favorite insider but now he's heading to retirement I still need to get my fix of information and as long as Seravalli has good information that's all I care about. I find the fixation Flames fans have for Seravalli one of the stranger things I have seen here over the years. It's quite bizarre actually but clearly a win for the Barn Burner guys as he's bringing in listeners that either like him or hate him and that's how the media business works.
