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. :mex:
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.

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.

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
