Rick is so good. If he goes national, I'm guessing we'd lose him for our regional games which would be really sad.

As long as this is not health related, I am happy to hear this. He is easily the most biased "National" PBP guy on Hockey Night.

He could still do a bunch of the Flames broadcasts.

Harnaryan is better at color commentary than PBP.

I will admit I love his goal calls though. We need some flair in hockey commentary.

Can't argue with the price. I hope the stream quality is up to the reputation of ESPN

I should point out, if it is not obvious, that this is US only. Canada is different

This is good news for US based Flames fan. But does anyone know if they will broadcast home and away TV feeds? On most nights I prefer to tune into the Flames/Canadian feed.

Whoa. Thanks for posting this! Mine was set on auto renew, so i need to switch that off.

EDIT: Glad you mentioned this. I was able to cancel, but it looked like my NHL.tv subscription was about to renew.

The SN Flames regional broadcast team remains the same. Ball, Hrudey, Cassie, and Leslie all returning.

For who, the Canucks? He rarely overs their games now and I think did Leaf games 85% of the time and as a Canuck fan, I don't imagine him to be a Leaf cheerleader.

I still love Jim Hughson’s voice…I have since he called Blue Jays game when I was young. He’ll always be one of my favourites.
