Caught about half of it whilst driving. You're sounding more confident, and getting that 'radio voice' down. Nicely done. You actually sounded 10 years older than you actually are! Had some good info in there, it was a good hit.

TheScorpion laying out the case for Phillips and Ruzicka being future NHL players before even the 6 minute mark of the segment. Beat that drum, Mike.

Honestly, you were great.

In case you missed it, here's the segment.

Thank you all for the kind words.

Scorp's segments tend to be some of the best radio that you hear on the Fan 960 during any given week.

The Heat seem particularly fun to follow this year.

That's too kind. And yes, they are — highly recommend tuning in for a few games this year on AHL TV. Pelletier is a ton of fun to watch and I really like Connor Zary.

Still stumped on why Pelletier didn't give a better showing at Flames camp.

If Phillips ever becomes an NHLer, Scorp should be able to live off the "I told you so's" for a good long time.

I turn it off before he can finish his name - along with all the other cookie cutter auto commercials that start with a lame introduction.

As others have said it sounds like you're getting better all the time Scorp. You sound as if you've been doing radio features for years.

Lanny was always a bit 'young for his age', at 19 while plying his trade in Junior he became a massive expansion Atlanta Flames fan overnight. He slept in Atlanta Flames jammies, had an Atlanta Flames night light and a Bob Leiter autographed card sat tacked above his bed. Imagine his delight when 8 years later the franchise moved to Calgary , so close to his hometown. from that point onwards he was agitating for a trade to the franchise he cheered for 'growing up'
