Avec les commentaires affreux que nous devons écouter sur les jeux de flux américains, cela me fait encore plus apprécier Rick Ball. Je me demande ce qu’il fait. A quoi pense-t-il ? Est-ce qu’il pense à nous ?

Probably working on his golf game.
He was on the ESPN broadcast of the jets game yesterday. I’m not sure to what extent he is covering games for them but he’s at least done that one playoff game.
He was calling a game yesterday on a US feed. I don’t remember which one though
GOAT
Someone needs to make a rick ball soundboard and start a discord channel
He is absolutely not thinking of us, if by « us » you mean the Flames sub reddit.
[My favorite call of his ever](https://youtu.be/uToNVfZGJ5I)
I’ve been listening to radio games , and man the oilers radio is awful. The one guy couldn’t shut up about the unsportsmanlike penalty in Drai, guy in the intermission even tried to set him straight to no avail
« You cannot slash someone after scoring »
« Yeah but how hard wa- »
« No, you cannot do it »

for some reason I just imagined him working as a cement worker during the off-season, casually drinking a light beer and arguing on the phone as the clock passed 3pm on a sunny Thursday afternoon. He doesn’t even need the money, he just likes to be on his feet and out of the house away from internet comment sections.
He called Vegas/Winnipeg on TBS yesterday
Rick Ball gets excited about absolutely EVERYTHING. Dude is screaming if the puck misses the net, time to move on. The American feeds are better, always have something different to say every time
Absolute gem of a man.

We don’t deserve Rick and Kelly.
The best (TV) announcer we’ve ever had. (Whalen was great too, of course.)
Best overall is obviously still Peter Maher.
