Most excellent

 

[tmurfin]

Yes! it's been too long

 

[Anglesmith]

Some kind of hiring.

Nothing but good things to say about the product of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

 

[MarkGio]

Great, no if only we could get Loubardias and Kerr together to perform commentary on all Flames games.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

He knows his stuff for sure but his voice is just not made for broadcasting IMO. Neither is Kerr's in all honesty but he's somewhat tolerable. Loubardias' delivery could be downright aggravating at times, similar to that old dude who does (did?) PBP in Buffalo.

 

[Noori]

I actually like Loubo's voice. Kerr's constant over-the-top delivery is starting to become obnoxious. It's gone from funny (snowballs) to completely aggravating. That said, I'm grateful that atleast all the games are broadcast (in HD), and no more of the Flames PPV BS.

 

[Nordberg]

I'm one of the few who don't mind Kerr. The guy's a total goofball but he has actually endeared himself to me quite a bit. I love his enthusiasm. That being said I'd take Loubo back in a heartbeat. He is one of my absolute favorite sports casters. Loubo doing PBP and Kerr color commentating could be good. Simmer bores me to tears.

 

[MarkGio]

I like moderate homerization in my commentator. It builds excitement as well as reduces insults towards my teams. I hate watching TSN and their criticism towards the Flames while paying no attention to our promising future.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I like this.

Plan B for when Maher inevitably retires?

Doink!!!

Did you just insult Rick Jeanneret? The guy is a legend.

 

[Trae]

I hated him when he was PBP for us and welcomed Kerr with open arms. Now I'd do anything to get him back

But you'd miss out on classic phrases like:

"10 hundred"

"Where's the beef"

and so fourth.

 

[DCDM]

Oh my goodness!!

Can you believe what we just saw?!

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

I really cant stand him. I have been so annoyed with him filling in for Walker. He will take control and talk over the play calling. The man just doesn't know when to shut up. I always thought Brent Krahn would make a great commentator. Too bad he never got a shot at it.

 

[StreakingRed]

Couldn't be happier to see Loubardias back. Great choice.

 

[Devilspuppet666]

I grew to love his voice its so awesome :}

And again, I used to have no issue with Charlie Simmer for the longest time. That was until someone brought up how much he starts a sentence with "And again". And again, I can't help but notice it several times during a broadcast and it drives me insane.

Omg thissssss. Someone here mentioned it, and all of a sudden I couldn't stand him anymore.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

And again, I'm forced to apologize.

God damn it

 

[Mitts]

I was hoping Perry Berezan might take a shot at it, but I like Loubo and am happy with the choice. Oh also agree that Brent Krahn would make a great colour guy. Sidenote, Loubo did kind of blow my mind in a bad way the other day on the radio when he said something to the effect that Poirier is a pesky kind of player that doesn't stand out in any area but is effective, doesn't have a great shot and isn't fast. Isn't fast ? Kinda blows my mind since Loubo is a big CHL guy, even if he hasn't kept up it's not hard to look up Poirier on you tube and see his wheels.
