Doc likely isn't under consideration by any team or network.... his time has come and gone just like Jack's decision a few months back...

Congrats to Judd. I wish him well and I think he'll be fine.
Whoever they chose would have been an improvement over Jack, so I'm good......

You forget... Emrick announced his retirement from broadcasting almost 4 years ago.
and where did he come to national prominence first..... if it wasn't for Doc.... you don't have PRISM New England now NBC Sports Boston.... Portland.... if the Flyers don't come here in 1977 who'd be Boston's ECHL Affiliate right now..... nevermind Providence as it's constituted doesn't exist the last 22 years....
Sirott was decent on the radio. Like some others I disliked his goal call and found his commentary to be a little one-dimensional, but he knows his stuff and did a solid job of letting you know what was happening without overselling it.
He's going to need to change some of his style and method for TV, but hopefully he's up to the task. Good luck to him.

Was hoping for Sean McDonough once Goucher was not the choice.
Sirott is above average and has good energy. Enjoyed his role in the Saturday hockey shows 98.5 hosts.
Could do worse, likely better as well but NESN is NESN. My gut says this is shorter term and in five years NESN is revamping the broadcast.
Eternally thankful not to have Faust.

When I asked my wife her opinion on a job that I did in painting a room in my basement/man-cave my wife said "not bad." I said, "Not bad, means not very good, you're trying to be kind but I can read between the lines."
"Not bad" = UGH!
I'm also glad it isn't Caron. I hope Judd can come up with a different goal call.
Some announcers simply yell "GOAL!" Or was that back in the '60s?

You obviously never learned how to paint a room as a husband. You hit the curtains on your first attempt, then she never asks you to paint again and hires a professional. No painting for life

Last time the job was open, The Sports Hub network auditioned a number of people on-air during the preseason before naming Judd the broadcaster on the eve of the regular season. Ryan Johnston was one, and I anticipate he will get another opportunity. He has paid his dues on The Sports Hub and does a solid job hosting the hockey show. Last time, Johnston's audition game was the first preseason game when it's mostly AHLers, which is always a tough one to call (and, IIRC, Judd's game was against the Blackhawks).
I can guarantee you this will be a highly sought-after job.

THAT sir, was my dad. He would "fill the brush up with as much oil paint (back in the day) and slop it on. Drove my mother crazy, he would have a puddle of paint all along the floor where ever he was painting moldings etc.You obviously never learned how to paint a room as a husband.

He did that sort of thing a lot, always set expectations low so that he wouldn't be asked to do it again, and he wasn't. Smart man.
I'm a good painter because a relative of my ex-wife was a painter so he taught me how to "cut in" etc.
My wife didn't like the color that I picked, her tastes in such things are different than mine. lol

Brickley is the worst color guy in the league. Turk was the best at one point. Why not?

well he’s 78 years old for starters.
But Brick is not the worst color guy in the league I won’t stand for such slander.
I heard reference to “one dimensional play by play” in here and I consider myself a reasonably intelligent man but what in the turkey tits does that mean

I thought he should have gotten it for putting in his time on radio. He and Beers were god together, plus Sat. mornings. Good choice IMO.
Brick is alright. I have no problem with him either. He gutted through a lot of years with Jacks painful coments and essays.

Means he wants Sirott to do shrooms and start doing PbP from the 4th dimension.
Once Sirott was passed over again for Blackhawks TV this seemed like the likely outcome.
Faust is lined up to replace Sam Rosen on Rangers TV as Sam is turning 77 and has had some health issues. Sam wants one more Cup so
