I have no problem with McDonough; but would also love Brickley back with him, if he hasn't been let go.
He's an excellent color analyst, and has covered for Jack the last couple of years heroically.
I like Brick but it's time to hang 'em up.

Agree, new blood needs to be pumped into the boothI like Brick but it's time to hang 'em up.
I would rather listen to the crowd feed. Of course they would need to borrow a few mics from the Red Sox since they only use one hanging from the roof at the garden for Bruins games.Is NESN going to give us the Red Sox torture of booth by committee?
I like to think he could ratchet it up a couple notches for a homer broadcast, but I certainly see (or hear?) where you are coming from.McDonough is too vanilla for me. It’s hockey for baseball fans. Puts me to sleep.
Ice level sound has always been awful on NESN. I used to love when the playoffs were on NBC because of how well they would have the rink mic'd up, felt like you were there sometimes depending on your sound system. Now with ESPN its back to not being able to hear anything....I would rather listen to the crowd feed.

I kid but there is zero crowd noise or glass hits that one can hear watching at home on the broadcasts.
Or maybe Im losing my hearing lol

Chad Finn of the Boston Globe reported today that six potential candidates have auditioned with Andy Brickley. They include:
-Judd Sirott
-Tom Caron
-“a couple of candidates with NHL broadcasting experience outside the market”
If it's Tom Caron I'll just turn on the radio and sync it up to the gameChad Finn of the Boston Globe reported today that six potential candidates have auditioned with Andy Brickley. They include:

TC followed a long line, if not the most successful broadcaster of all time.... one Mike "Doc" Emrick, who at the time no one knew, even Doc originally, where Portland, Maine was, TC is from Lewiston...If it's Tom Caron I'll just turn on the radio and sync it up to the game

I personally thought he was kinda boring the few Bruins games he did last season but should probably get used to it as nobody will replace eccentric Edwards.Not sure if Alex Faust is/was in serious consideration. He's going to be doing CFB on FOX again this season and was promoted to the fourth team. Probably takes him out of the running.
First post I read this morning. Please tell me I'm still in some nightmare.Please, not Tom Caron. He's excellent at studio work, but unlistenable at play by play. Doesn't actually call the plays, just blabs away while actually distracting from the action. Faust I agree seems pretty bland. Too bad McDonough seems to be not under consideration, or at least Finn didn't mention him.
Same kinda boring but very good play by playI personally thought he was kinda boring the few Bruins games he did last season but should probably get used to it as nobody will replace eccentric Edwards.
