Flames Any word on Peter Loubardias?

I really like the guy and the way he calls the game. I think he is a true pro and demonstrated that in spades when Derek Wills first started.

I haven't seen any updates on where he is at, what's going on, or how he is doing.

Whatever it is, I hope it isn't serious for him or his family and look forward to hearing him again soon.

Anyone have an update?

Peter Loubardias ‏@fan960lou · Mar 28  Mississauga, Ontario

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. Hadn't missed a game in 30 years but am on the mend. Can't wait to get back #goodpeople

Derek Wills ‏@Fan960Wills 4m4 minutes ago Cochrane, Alberta
An update for the many people worried about my broadcast partner, @Fan960Lou. Lou is dealing with some potentially serious health issues...

Derek Wills ‏@Fan960Wills 2m2 minutes ago Cochrane, Alberta
...hopefully, they aren't too serious. As you know, Lou loves the game and would love to be calling #Flames games right now...

Hope he's okay. True class guy, and a knowledgeable member of the Sportsnet team. My lady just went through chemo and is back working. Not sure what's going on, but sounds like he's a fighter himself and will hopefully pull through whatever the heck this is.

Really too bad, Loubo is one of my favourite sports personalities. Hoping for a speedy recovery, and hoping that he'll be back in full form next year.

best wishes to him. While I don't usually agree with him much during the Steinberg and Loubardias debates, I absolutely love listening to the two of them debate issues surrounding the Flames. Both have different perspectives on a bunch of issues and it's really enjoyable and love hearing them respectfully argue with each other.

Hope he comes back soon!

I wish the Fan had someone filling in for Lou while he recovers (godspeed) because it sounds even more awkward with Wills just talking to himself, especially things like the keys to victory.

I cringe when I listen and he's all by himself.

I was watching on tv Saturday, but wasn't Steinberg going to join him? If so, I would guess Steinberg finishes the season with him too.

Steinberg has been doing the colour when the games are at the Dome. I would assume his commitments with doing the away games at Schanks prevents him from traveling with the team.

I didn't watch or listen to the game on Saturday, the last one I heard was the Kings game when I was in the car for a bit.

Sorry to hear this about him. I really enjoy Lou's enthusiasm and knowledge of the game.

His passionate defense of Russell has been borne out somewhat. They guy returned a king's ransom in trade and now is playing huge minutes for a Stanley Cup contender.

Not that's not good to hear. His best work was that Kris Russell defense

Yikes, hope all is well for Loubo. I had a feeling it'd be pretty serious considering how much time he had to take off already.
