Use the mute feature.
It's 2018 now. We should have different and higher standards than we had in 2008 as technology and access to games and information is increased.

Complaints about play-by-play and colour analysts are perfectly valid in this day and age.

Just keep whatever game time habits u all have going during the streak. For us it's the Flames bud glasses along with the Johnny Monahan bobble heads lol at the TV. Have worn a variety of Flames gear. Just keep winning Red!
Was at the LA and Ducks games the dome was as my daughter would say the place was Lit lol.

I don't care one way or another about Cassie Campbell as the colour person besides the fact she's not as good as Hrudey. But she's done colour on NHL games before this year and done it on woman's hockey in the the past few Olympics. She's not new at this.

My thoughts on the constant complaining on online forums over commentators/anthem singers

1) 99% of people want Don Cherry's job

2) a strong majority of those who complain the loudest will accept nothing other than what is fed to them on their hundreds of hours of playing EA Sports. Nothing else willl be accepted

3) I like Cassie. I like Hrudey. I like Ball. I like Wills and Lou. Any time any of them call a game for us, I'm good with that.

Ball and Cassie have zero chemistry. I love the nice little sidebar tidbits Ball and Hrudey have. It adds a little comic relief while still being on topic of the current play. They have great timing off each other. I can’t recall the exact plays but I definitely remember 2 times in the Carolina game Rick tried to have one of these moments with Cassie and it was dead silent, almost cringeworthy. The real enemy here though is Hrudey; he’s so good that CBC keeps stealing him for HNIC games.

He claimed to be the Jeane Dixon of broadcasting and she didn't say a word. Probably had no idea who that was

Googled it yeah. Apparantly a psychic back before colour. No wonder Cassie had no idea.

I remember Jean Dixon. But I think I'm older than Ball and she's kind of obscure. he should have gone with the standard Nostradamus. Or maybe Kreskin - just as old but more iconic.

Man this break sucks. I'm sure some of you will try to stretch the whole Cassie Campbell debate but it doesn't make for a compelling forum discussion while the team is on this break.

Yep, I know who she is too but totally understandable that someone wouldn't. To Ball's credit, in the past when he's dropped that with Hrudey he's usually followed it up with "there's a current reference for the kids" or something like that. Hrudey laughs and life moves on.

I agree with everything except Wills. Personally it's like fingernails on a chalkboard listening to his calls and interviews. Nothing against the guy I just can't take it.
