hellsangel201 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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.

stevestevens Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Youre referring to the radio correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmigliore Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah he is.. I couldn't tell ya, maybe look them on on wikipedia and look for news about them.. i dont listen to radio broadcasts often but i know they have Loughlin and some woman.. I think Velischek coaches some Junior team in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well Milller left years ago to take a management position with a minor league hockey team. Although I believe he is done with that. As for Velischek he and Hennesey were let go after the 05-06 season. No reason was given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section 110 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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.

DaneykoIsGod Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
