hello, new to the board. thanks for having me! my first question is, why aren't mike miller and randy velischek doing games anymore? i realize they are on wfan now, but that can't be the only reason. i believe matt loughlin is doing the main play by play now, he's good but doesn't seem as good as miller to me.

Miller also had a bout with a throat ailment (cancer?) that forced him to stop calling games, at least for a while.

Velischek was just awful - I don't miss him at all (note to future radio producers: never have a non-native english speaker broadcasting your games in the US). Sherry Ross is exponentially better.

As has been previously mentioned, Mike Miller left the team due to his bout with vocal cord cancer, and eventually took the job as GM for the Toledo Storm. I believe he's been doing spot work for the NHL on XM radio, but I don't have XM so I can't be sure.

John Hennessey took over play-by-play duties and, IMO, sucked royally. I think Hennessey and Velischek were canned after the lockout and Matt Laughlin took over play-by-play while Tom Chorske handled color duties. Sherry Ross took over for Chorske this season.

I'm not 100% positive on some of this, so feel free to correct me.
