Michaels is mediocre. The problem is - he is American. This is a Canadian game in a Canadian city and we need a Canadian to call the games. Only a Canadian knows and understands the passion and nuances of the game properly to deliver a top-level hockey broadcast. It would be like a Canadian doing NFL football, it's just not right. You can do a decent job but you will never be truly excellent. Stuff like the NCAA football banter does not belong on an Edmonton Oilers broadcast.
