That was from the same guy who said Mark Lee was going to do the play-by-play. Obviously, he had bad info.

This is about as good as it could've turned out for Flames fans…that's a really solid lineup. Wills is the only question mark, but he seems to be a good up and coming talent.

I'm also really happy to see Paul Romanuk back in North America. I have so many good memories of him calling games…although all of them on international ice.

How a cockroach like Healy sticks around this league is just perplexing. Is there anyone who likes this guy? He's an even dumber Al Strachan.

Is there anywhere I can hear a sample of Wills' work? Can't say I'm familiar with him. I think we hit a home-run with Ball though.

There definitely haven't been several youtube clips of his play-by-play calls posted in this thread.

Wow, I thought Rick Ball was one of the best on HNIC, great hire.
Not a fan of Hrudey on color (don't mind him as an analyst), but Millions is great in the host role.

Not familiar with Wills, but glad they kept Loubo on color.

Yeah...I thought she did a great job on HNIC.

Looking at that list I like the play-by-play announcers, but having Healy, Cox, Doug MacLean, Shannon, and Spector is gross. These guys all come across as unlikable, especially compared to TSN.

Also importantly....who's notably left off the list? Mackenzie? Dreger? Duthie?

EDIT: Also Craig Simpson is a bit of a dingbat, but so be it.
It is just because those F'ers messed with Kypreos

Glenn Healy is the worst ever. I don't mind Stock. I don't think Chief likes anyone or anything :P

Very pleased with the local broadcast teams. I had lowered my expectations so much that this really came as a surprise.

But dropping Petrillo and keeping Healy? That's really disappointing.

CP shoutout on the Fan just now! They gave kudos to us for figuring out who the new play-by-play would be.

Sure... unless you consider asking nothing but boring questions that illicit nothing more then the same old stock answers you're so familier with that you practically know the answer before it's given. When he had that "interview" with Bettman I think I rolled my eye's so far I could see the back of my eye socket such was the sheer puffball-ness of the "question" he asked him.

He doesn't have an annoying voice or look uncomfortable in front of the camera so he's got that going for him. I suppose if he's just reciting lines dictated to him from production then it may as well be him but I'd rather someone else if his job allows any sort of control over content.
