Goucher becomes the Golden Knights tv play by play guy. Bruins will need to fill his spot on 98.5
I don't think I ever saw a broadcast play-by-play quality improve as much as when they went from Neumeier to Goucher. Partly because Neumeier was so bad, and mostly because gaucher was that good.Great get for Vegas. Definitely echo the sentiments here and I'll miss him on Bruin s radio telecasts.
and he also managed to give Beers enough time to provide coherent analysis while the game was going on. (which is a credit to both of them).Agreed. Hockey has to be the hardest game to call on radio given the speed of the game. Dave was great at vividly describing what was happening at the time it was happening without resorting to hyperbole or theatrics like our TV guy.
Hmmm...I wonder if anyone (@Chad Finn?) knows who will be conducting the search - as a B's fan who has called Beanpot games at the Garden on radio and now done a lot of Champions Hockey League commentary here in Europe over the past four years, I'd love to at least apply for the job. I know that tweet references a "national" search, but I figure if the NHL can import hundreds of European players, perhaps it could import one European-based American commentator as well.Chad FinnVerified account @GlobeChadFinn 2m2 minutes ago
To find Goucher's replacement, CBS Boston/Sports Hub will conduct a national search, just as it did when it hired Bob Socci for Pats in '13.
