2202That's a bummer. Always enjoyed his unique voice and style for calling a game. Please don't replace him with more Jack Edwards

Re: News and Games around the NHL
2203A great run. He'll surely now skitter off into retirement. Glad to see this was his call and not NBC soccering him to the curb. I don't know who replaces him but hopefully the top broadcast team continues to waffleboard Pierre to the second team.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

Doc actually called a game back then in a normal manner. Why he turned into this latest version is anyone's guess.
Re: News and Games around the NHL
2208Sad to see Doc retire even if he wasn't my favorite. If they replace him with Edwards I think that's it for me on national games. I'm watching more NBA these days as it is.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
2211Just for the record since I don't think everyone was joking, there's a 0.0% chance Jack Edwards is the next lead broadcaster. He'll be in Boston until he's done. It'll probably be Kenny Albert. The NHL/NBC contract runs through next season. After that I imagine the league will have multiple broadcast partners, so we'll have a couple of #1 broadcast teams.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
2219Not January 1. Winter Classic just got postponed until next year, and it's no guarantee we'll still be the opponent. All-Star game cancelled too, but who cares. Optimistic view is late January/early February. Probably waiting to see how things are looking before committing to anything since they don't want to do a bubble again.

They didn't have a pick until the 4th round and they've already renounced the pick because they drafted a pretty shitty human.

The things he did were absolutely vile. More so, he has still to this day shown zero remorse or apologized to the victim in this. Which to mean doesn't mean it can be excused as "kids will be kids"...it's who he is as a person still to this day.

Miller and another teen were accused of tricking Isaiah Meyers-Crothers into eating candy that had been placed in a urinal and physically assaulting him. Miller and another teen admitted to the bullying in an Ohio juvenile court and were sentenced to community service, according to the Republic.
