SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 I've been listening and half-watching the Wings game while working and notice the different PA annoucer. Brand new/permanent? Do they use a different PA guy during preseason? Keep in mind I've never seen a pre-season game on TV before until today... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they use a different PA guy during preseason? Keep in mind I've never seen a pre-season game on TV before until today... I'm not sure what the deal is... I heard Bud Lynch's voice for calling the last minute of the 2nd period, but someone else called the Franzen goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lfd250 1 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 My guess is you'll hear more of the young guy. The wings want to do more at TV TO with Jennifer and this guy can yell. He was yelling who wants a T-shirt and they were throwing them, plus some times it's hard to hear Bud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pavyaz19 1 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 if Bud's getting too old, I think they should record his voice saying all the names and making all the calls / announcments then just have someone up there with a sound board. it's not a Wings game without Mr. Lynch.

Cicada 4 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 if Bud's getting too old, I think they should record his voice saying all the names and making all the calls / announcments then just have someone up there with a sound board. it's not a Wings game without Mr. Lynch. i'm fairly sure that what they've done for pre season.. bud announces all the standard stuff.. "Last minute of the 3rd period", etc.. but anything that needs to be made up on the spot.. "Penalty to Detroit, Michael Samuelsson, 2 minutes for being a ****"... come from the new guy... wonder if it's just pre-season or we're starting to see a changeover.. Bud is what 90 years old after all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gizmo 21 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Bud Lynch is the PA guy at the Joe, he can't be replaced. Bud is an institution, just like Tom Carnegie was at the Indy 500, and should be allowed to be the PA announcer as long as he wants. Hearing Bud's voice for the first time each trip for me is like when Carnegie would flip the switch on the mic first thing and say "Good morning race fans!" at Indy... you knew you were back in a special place. Yeah, at the end of their careers, they may get a little harder to understand and may goof up some names and facts, but you gotta love 'em!

WizardOfOz30 1,886 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 It wouldn't be a Wings game without Bud there. I understand there will come a day when he decides he can't do it anymore, but it will be very hard to get used to another voice on the PA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwingsfan18 1 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 This really isn't that far out there to make this suggestion, but.. At Yankee Stadium, they still use the old PA voice for certain things as a recording. For example, they play his recording of "Derek Jeter" just for him. I personally don't think it would be too far out there or wrong if the Wings used Bud's "Last minute to play in this period" as a recording for years to come. I don't know about anyone else here but when I think of Bud Lynch I think of him saying that. Of course they could record any other one of his sayings and use that too.

You beat me to it... I can already picture it: "Detroit Goal... Number 96 To-mas Holmstrom..." It's great, and while other PA announcers flood the announcements with statistics, he keeps it simple.
