Hrudey and Ball are the best. It doesn't bother me in the least that he adds some Oiler or other team discussion.
Get rid of Cassie Campbell.

I think she is gone, no? Isn't she working for ESPN?

Somewhat off topic, but with Rogers no longer offering rogers nhl gamecenter or whatever it is called now, what is a person in Toronto's best option to get all the flames games??

Can't say I'd love it as the sound wasn't enjoyable to the ears. Now, my wife on the other hand loved it. So there's that....

Might be because they often talk about having beer and steaks together.

I heard that at the start of last season too and yet she still reared her ugly voice sometimes on Flames broadcasts.

I want a subscription package where there is no commentary and the sounds of the game are the main focus, uncut. I want to hear everything. If Kadri is taunting someone on the other team and talking trash I want to hear that. I would pay very good money for that and so would a lot of people.

SN Now is bad enough that I'm going back to Shaw TV and getting Centre Ice until they can figure out SN Now and make it as good as NHL Live was.

I don't know why I can't quote you GioforPM, but you're correct. Pretty sure he was just an analyst, but my point remains, very knowledgeable, but hard to listen to.

Some people like it but I sure don't. I like to picture plays like in a video game myself. Above and just from behind. But that's me.

I definitely visualize in a left-right fashion and want to know who's going which way. Never understood why it bothers people

It doesn't bother you because it matches how you visualize. I'm not saying it makes me throw something, but it takes me out of it a bit more. If he just was silent on it, people could do their own imagining.
