I liked him in his role covering the Flames, but I'm definitely not a fan of his politics. I hope he and the UCP lose spectacularly in the next election and he is back to work by the 2019-20 season opener.
I also hope the Flames win the Stanley Cup in 2018-19...

Enjoyed my interactions with Roger, especially the time in Denver.
Best of luck in whatever you choose to do in the future. Keep your promise to spend more time with your family and friends.
Take the necessary time for yourself and your health.
Enjoy every moment, because after 39 years in broadcasting, you deserve it Rog!

Yes, I know. That's why I added another example of something I hope for that isn't likely to happen.

I always liked Roger as a broadcaster.
I hope this move to politics works out well for him.

He’s a Trump supporter? Dead to me. No hyperbole. Good luck Airdrie.

Nothing of value is lost here, he wasn't great on TV and as a person he wasn't exactly a nice guy.

The clip you you have there is funny and one of my favourite blooper clips.
I am going to miss him on Flames broadcasts and wish him luck in politics.

I have no idea what his political views are, or what the UCP is. It goes back a long time to when I lived in Calgary, here say from others and personal experience.
He just had a massive ego generally.
But anyways, good luck! He really isn’t a great broadcaster either
Just my opinion man

I know right?!? How did he get away with being a crap broadcaster for 39 years?!

Roger will get my vote if he’s running for the UCP in Airdrie! Plus he lives on my street and has always been friendly when I’ve run into him!
