I always liked Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond in Detroit. Redmond is similar to the Bruins guys in that he is definitely a partisan. But he brings that sort of authentic emotion to the role. No idea if he would function well in a national broadcast where he had to play it straight. And Daniels was a pretty good straight man to counter the enthusiasm and called a solid game. I used to hear him more on national stuff a few years back, but not as much recently. Though maybe with the Wings missing the playoffs he could get some work from NBC, but no luck so far.
