Looks like the Flames have dipped into the Vancouver radio market again for their new pbp guy replacing ex Canucks radio announcer Rick Ball:

The Calgary Flames have announced Jon Abbott as their new play-by-play announcer on Sportsnet. Abbott will replace Rick Ball, who recently joined the Chicago Blackhawks. Abbott will join a seasoned broadcast team that includes analysts Kelly Hrudey and Greg Millen with host Ryan Leslie as the Flames gear up for the 2024-2025 NHL season.

Is he any good?

Also, Drysaddle's demand to get a deal done by the end of August looks like it might not come to fruition. Looks like there is still a big gap between what the Oilers are offering and what Drysaddle is demanding.

I haven't listened to him much but he didn't seem too bad. He's a pro.

He's no Rick Ball though. Baller is one of my favorites.

@BoS Rick Ball took the Chicago job this summer.

Movin' on up.

Alberta teams are just the gift that keeps on giving.

Happy for Kassian. The guy has fought a lot of personal battles with his inner demons. Good that he has found a place to land and still be productive.

Zack can frequent his old haunts to note who not to scout.

Wids, you sound like a woman driving a pickup truck in Montreal

Sounds like Brzustewicz had a pretty good outing in the Flames preseason game. 2 assists and a solid game.

Was watching the highlights from the Calgary/Edmonton game and was wondering if the significance of Stuart Skinner’s jersey number is the mark he sets for his save percentage.

I just watched him play Abby twice over the weekend and he looked pretty decent. Smart with the puck. Tiny sample of course, way to early to even hazard a guess as to what he's going to be.

There needs to be two separate threads. One for the inbreds and the other for the gas huffers

Get at 'er, my inbred gas huffing buddy.

You're right - I don't want my team thrown into the same thread as the imbred, gas huffing Oilers

There's a difference?
