Remembering Peter Maher, Flames Players to Watch This Season + Blue Jays Turn It Around & Rule Controversy
55m | Aug 17, 2026Couch Potato Diary is back. A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks, including the passing of Peter Maher, the legendary voice of the Calgary Flames, and the Blue Jays somehow getting good again. Peter Klein covers it all.
🎙️ Peter Maher, the legendary Calgary Flames broadcaster, passed away recently, and Peter Klein pays tribute to a man who was everything you could want from a broadcaster and more as a human being.
🔥 Three Calgary Flames players Peter is genuinely excited about heading into this season: Matvei Gridin, Zane Parekh, and Simon Nemec, plus a few bonus names the live chat brought up.
⚾ The Toronto Blue Jays somehow turned things around after the trade deadline, half a game out of a wild card spot. Peter breaks down what changed, what the Soriano acquisition did for this team's belief, and what they're still missing.
⚾ A controversial play at the end of a Blue Jays game had everyone talking. Peter's reaction to the reaction: it's a dumb rule that needs to be changed, but it's not a conspiracy.
