Thank you for your service Lou 🫡
I’ll feel his departure the most. As few true superstars there are in the league, there’s even fewer quality color analysts.
Very interested to see who steps in next. Think they’re going to promote internally? Or are there any choices outside of Sportsnet you guys think could be an option for them?
I know he is a really valued member of the flames community and he truly gave his all every day for the fans of the flames, but I personally could not stand this guy. His epic on air fight with Pat a few years ago will be what stands out for me with Loubo. God that was awesome.
If it’s not pat, someone at Rogers is smoking crack.
Loubardias has a nearly perfect memory for hockey. He’s a good colour commentary guy and knows the game so well. Still, I always felt he was wasted not working with prospect pools and in Junior. That always felt like his real passion.
I don’t really get the economics of it as 960 is the only radio station I listen to, but I guess I’m a dying breed that way. Regardless, really sucks to see them lose even more talent.
Please stahp my heart can only take so much in 1 off season 🙁
Is he done with 960 completely? I think Lou and Willsy are great together, but I’m more worried about who they replace him with. I suppose Pat or Sandra Prusina could be two good options
I love him. I can overlook the annoying bits because of his pure passion for hockey. He’s a great character of the game, on a local scale. The Fan is really going to shit.
Bummer.
Lou and Pat are basically the cornerstones of 960 at this point. So hard to see him go.
I thought he had good chemistry with Wills, so that’s tough too.
Curious to see who they replace him with, or if he knows the station is getting thrown in the dumpster like so many other stations right now and is just jumping ship early.
Heartbreaking, but where ever he goes he’s going to knock it out of the park. Happy for him.
For those who don’t have Twitter, is there a tl;dr?
Darn. He was the last one to fall.
Glory glory hallelujah
Goodbye, Lou! May your future endeavors be as colorful as your commentary! 🌈
Nooooooooooooo! I will really miss the pre-post game with he, Pat, and Wills.
Good for him. It’s rare for someone to be able to step away from something they love to do something else they love.
Good on ya, Lou!
Couldn’t he take Wills with him? Wills as CSEC knob gobbling moron.
Guess we’ll miss your colorful commentary, Lou! Best of luck in your next gig! 🌈
