Obviously we should collectively challenge the Fan960 to "Top That".

What in the world did I just watch?!?

I just cannot listen to loubardias wax poetic endlessly about this Peter's stuff. It's exhausting. Someone really needs to get him to dial it back

Can you elaborate? What's he saying?

[topfiverecords]

Duhatschek should be on every day and for longer.

It’s funny Loubo asks himself a series of questions, and then answers them.

I know some people like him but IMO he's terrible on the radio. Just terrible. The only time he's worth listening to is when it's discussing the Vikings and mysteries of being a Vikings fan.

[topfiverecords]

I’d rather listen to Lana Duke.

[btimbit]

Yeah I like the guy but can't stand listening to him. Not even what he says, just the way he talks

They all do this. Kerr used to do it. Steinberg does it. Darren Dreger is the king of it. I'm not sure when this started, but it's pretty awful.

Did the Flames play well? No

Can the Flames play better? Yes

Do I expect a better effort tomorrow? Yes

It's about people.


It's about the process.

Lou has been telling us this team is close for what feels like 10 years now.

He's like the Weather Network. Always promising better weather next week.

I find more and more that he has very little to say about the substance of the game. Just a series of self questions and answers about digging deep, working hard, trusting the guy next to you.

When you’re listening in the radio, you’d like to hear a little more about mechanics, strategy, positioning and elements related to the game itself and not this cliche ridden stuff he seems to focus on so much.

You know who I found recently actually has some insights about the actual play during the game? Wills. He’ll comment about a defenseman’s gap control on a play for example.

[jmac98]

Wills sounds too happy go lucky to me. Like he’s calling a game of Disney on Ice.

What's the one word I always say is required for weather to be better next week.

Confidence.

[Incogneto]

I have been SUPER impressed with Commie this 2-week span on the morning show. Feels like he got his feet under him and is super comfortable. It doesn't hurt that he has been on through the Babcock and Peters stuff.

To add to that, I feel like Boomer is great at the funny stuff, but his serious shows let him shine. The show yesterday was one of the better ones lately, and the best i can remember since the day Gord Downie died.

[The Yen Man]

Commie's story this morning on his interactions with Hitch was awesome. It gives us listeners a nice glimpse into some more of different player coach interactions that go on.

Just the endless making up hero storylines on things, band of brothers stuff, being overly verbose and straight up preachy at times about how people should manage their mindset on it. But for like 15 minutes and repetitive. It's almost like he's been prepping a speech for days and wants to sound inspiring. It reminds me of shoes that have final words or closing opinion speeches. And that tone. Holllllyyyy
