I guess we'll never know the reason why Howard attacked Keating on live TV...

Wow... Broadcast is going to be a lot different next season. Hard to imagine what approach they will try to take. You can't exactly replace that unique shtick of his 1:1

Is he sick or just had enough?

I know he got a lot of shit, but he was very good at his job, and I know most of us did it out of love. Most of us grew up or became adults watching him on TV and listening to his love of the Red Wings. He's earned his farewell and I hope the Wings can pull something off magical like the Tigers did.

Is he sick or just had enough?

from his note he just wants to max his time with family. Happens as you get old.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

This is a huge loss

Even Keating is giving up on this team, lol. I don't blame him.

We all know who can recreate that shtick if his 1:1

Do I retire my schtick after this season? Is it gauche to continue?

Just think of it as a tribute; keeping the tradition alive...
(Of course that might just my self interest in my entertainment talking)

You gotta keep it going. I imagine a future of young Wings fans that only know of Keats because you kept the schtick up. Someday, you may pass the mantle on to another as well. You can be the tribute that makes his memory live on in perpetuity.
