evilzyme 769 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 I've heard Ken Daniels and Larry Murphy on Versus' it seems like they have some type of contract with them or something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
South Dakota wings fan 7 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I just had the same thing happen. Turned on the game in the background, but wasn't watching and said to myself, "Kenny". Good for him. I really think Comcast buying NBC has been beneficial to the NHL coverage. Edited March 23, 2011 by South Dakota wings fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 I turned the game on a little late and was quite pleasantly surprised. Good for Ken, he deserves it. 1 Nev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k3sparks 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 thought the same thing as soon as I turned it on. Is Murphy there too? haven't heard him yet, but I know he does the NHL Network on the fly. Kenny going national, congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny going national, congrats. Versus always grabs announcers from other teams. Not sure why Daniels has never been on before. Maybe he declined for certain reasons, who knows. Cool he is on, now.

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 yeah pretty cool Mr. Daniels is on vs. I was thinking wtf this is awesome. still could care less about the game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holliday 1,888 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 Versus always grabs announcers from other teams. Not sure why Daniels has never been on before. Maybe he declined for certain reasons, who knows. Cool he is on, now. Normally it's been a standard cycle of announcers and color commentators. This season they have really been experimenting. The Hawks PBP guy did the Wings/Wild game earlier in the season. Very cool to hear Kenny on the broadcast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 If I'm not mistaken VS/NBC has had to cut staff, so maybe they are short of their typical broadcasters perhaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sidney_who? 3 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 I hope this doesn't mean he'll leave us on FSN, but it is nice to hear him. He could announce every game ever for all I care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwingsfanatic11 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 im happy for him, but im not gonna lie, it is kind of pissing me off, because i feel like if your employed by the red wings, why go do another game? but im impressed with how much he know about these teams. and mickey should definately be there too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CenterIce 83 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 If I'm not mistaken VS/NBC has had to cut staff, so maybe they are short of their typical broadcasters perhaps. Didn't have to cut staff. Comcast had NBC Sports take over Versus. NBC Sports made the changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 To me he is pretty much "the voice of the Red Wings," so it's weird hearing him call a game for other teams (I believe he did a Flyers vs. Rangers game a few weeks ago as well). Any time I don't have to listen to Doc Emerick on Versus is a win, in my book. 3 CrimsonFlame, mackel and HadThomasVokounOnFortSt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetterberg_40 3 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 He also did the Flyers/Rangers game for Hockey Day in America; when the Wings were at the Wild and we had Pat Foley (as previously noted) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dobbles 252 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 im happy for him, but im not gonna lie, it is kind of pissing me off, because i feel like if your employed by the red wings, why go do another game? who cares what he does on his days off??? i think its great for him and will only make him a better announcer overall. there's really no downside to this assuming it never interferes with wings games.

matt198913 932 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 Finally versus gets a guy who deserves the spot. They let the Hurricanes, the Lightning, the Bruins announcers call games. Now they have a well rounded guy who is more than deserving of the job. Ken before the Red Wings worked for CBC kind of like the position that Elliot Friedman is in currently. I just hope he doesn't leave the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted March 23, 2011 I've a friend who is a Flyers fan, and he thought Daniels was fantastic. I turned the game on a little late and was quite pleasantly surprised. Good for Ken, he deserves it. I thought the exact same, and I had wondered for quite awhile why he hadn't gotten the opportunity yet. So out of context!!! It's surreal. It's interesting to hear him be enthused for plays by both teams. Whatever the case, he certainly couples boundless enthusiasm with a great deal of knowledge of the game. The Hawks PBP guy did the Wings/Wild game earlier in the season. Yeah, and hearing him say "SOOOOOOOOYVE!" dozens of times got very annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
