dgodzina 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 While going from game to game on Center Ice Online tonight, I noticed that good ol' Dave Strader, former Red Wings and ESPN play by play guy, is doing games from the Coyotes on FSN Arizona alongside former ESPN analyst Darren Pang. Thought that was an interesting tidbit. I always wondered what happened to the ESPN guys......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless, I've always liked Panger. He's a great hockey personality and seems like an all-around fan of the game rather than favoring any team in particular (which can't be said about a good amount of sportscasters).

TheBadOne 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 It was great when I moved here and saw Strader doing the play-by-plays. I started thinking of a more simple era where people watched a network called PASS. As for Panger, I couldn't say enough good things about him. Sucks his playing career ended as soon as it began, but he works a microphone well. That's a fact. I think they're the opposite of the Ken-Mickey tandem. Like Cicada pointed out, Pang's the enthusiastic color commentator while Strater's the play-by-play guy and general "straight man". In Detroit, Mickey's the no-nonsense color commentator while Ken Daniels pretty much clips the microphone whenever he does the play by play (seriously, how many times have you guys heard "GREAT STOP OSGOOD!" or "SCOOOOOOOOORE! HENDRIK ZETTERBERG!!!!!" from Ken Daniels? I still say the best was "PUT THAT IN YOUR HIGHLIGHT REEL!" when Datsyuk scored that goal on Turco.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like both Strader and Daniels for different reasons, but remember the clown who did play by play between the two for one season, Mike Goldberg? He was horrible!
