Funny thing is on local radio, Mickey Redmond (TV color man for most Wing's games) gets more flak for being a homer.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
I ain't saying the wings guys are epic homers, but uh I don't know to many announcers that can compare. I guess when your used to hoisting the cup the people expect a rosey picture.
I think Wings fans will be happy again tonight though regardless of the announcers. |

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
There is no doubt Ken Holland is pure genius, his wings since who knows when will be the closest thing we will ever get to a dynasty team again.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Niemi played a great game. Wings couldn't keep up the pace. I thought the Wings dominated the 1st period and after that it looked like they put cement in their skates. All while the Sharks kept playing at a high pace. The Heatly to Thorton goal was very nice.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Price just needs no competition, if he has a solid backup it will get to his head that he will lose the job, its been like that his whole career even non-nhl.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
I only caught the third period and it wasn't pretty. SJ was getting 2/3 of the loose pucks. Not what I'm used to seeing out of the Wings this season. Babcock said it best (paraphrased), "We got out worked in the 2nd and 3rd.".

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Hawks face one of the hottest teams in the West tonight without Kane and Hossa. Coach Q changed his mind and will start Crawford instead of starting Turco against his old mates. I hope Corey is ready tonight.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
At least Niemi is starting to find his form, now you need some healthy D, Mike.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
BTW, I love the Wings announcers. All local announcers are homers to an extent, but Mickey really knows his stuff. Very down to earth and full of unique Canadian/Michigan vernacular. Ken Daniels & Mickey Redmond are my favorite. I wish they could do all the Wings games, especially when we have to suffer through some of the national guys when it comes playoff time.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
I like Mickey too, Mike. I don't mind color guys being "homers", for goodness sake, that's "his" team.
Ken is fine ...except when the Wings score a goal.....that girlish "he scores" makes me cringe. http://www.in.com/videos/watchvideo-...4-6689859.html 5:02 and 5:43 of the video.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Its funny our local guys are not that bad on the radio. They often call players out. Point out errors and will often comment if a player got away with something. I prefer that. I am just not a fan of the rah rah guys.
