You dirty dog!
Say it aint so.
Hopefully, they can see this team through another great run before hanging it up.
My best to Keats, his was always a unique and amusing addition to the broadcasts. He will be missed.

You need to apply for his job. Dale Keating, John’s long-lost brother who was thought dead years ago.
This may be the first thing you and I have ever agreed on.
Perfect opportunity for them to finally promote Daniella Bruce.
... Which means they'll probably hire another old guy to replace Keats.

Same thing goes for the radio broadcast. Crazy to think that Daniels, Mick, Ken Kal and Paul Woods combine for well over 100 years as the main voices for the Red Wings.

I've only seen/heard her do some interviews. Does she know her stuff? Could she do post games in a flannel like Mickey?

In addition to the interviews, she has always wanted to be a broadcaster and filled in for Paul Woods in 2022:
History made: Daniella Bruce becomes first woman in Red Wings broadcast booth
Daniella Bruce becomes first woman in Red Wings broadcast booth as she was on the mic for Saturday's game.

Well she's already worn plaid during games, so I'll say yes.Could she do post games in a flannel like Mickey?

Keats definitely grew on me overtime but I was never the biggest fan.
Daniella would be a perfect replacement.

NO NO NO NO NO
So few marginally acceptable female on camera personalities being pushed on us for no reason. Listening to the men fawn over them asking a "good question" or them speaking to the physical aspect of the game, is like being scolded after being out too late with the boys. LOL!
I like her interviews and such, but I'd rather see Trevor in the role and she replace him.
Right.... They should probably just stay home and cook, right?

Daniella would be perfect. She's incredibly smart, incredibly well liked, knows her shit. She'd have my vote.

wtf? We're talking about replacing one of the most awkward tv broadcasters I've ever seen. Jimmy Howard held a spot for a couple seasons and he was terrible. Ozzy was awful his first season on the air.
What men are fawning over them? Most men whine about female commentators because as a sports-loving man's man, they apparently don't want any women around.
Exactly. I'm a flippin' dinosaur who hates seeing chicks around contact sports, and I think she's done fine (once y'all pointed out who she was to me
) and could definitely be fun and informative behind a desk, or interviewing like she does. If she faceplants like Jimmy did or is awful like the ESPN (or is it TNT?) gal? Then fine, move on.
Edited to add that I overlooked Trevor. He has indeed earned it if he wants it. He wasn't bad calling that game on short notice last year either. Hmm...
