NESN Dave Goucher and Shane Hnidy are negotiating with NESN for next season

[JoeIsAStud]

Why would they want this job right now?

They live in Vegas. Fun enough place to visit. But an absolutely miserable place to live. 6 months of scorched earth where you can't go outside. And not a place I would want to raise a family

Come to Boston. Passionate fanbase. Big media contract in NESN. One of the best offensive payers in the world in Pasta. One of the best goalies in the world. Team should be competitive most years

Both men have been here before, so they get it

This is incorrect.

Definitely not true, we dont all live on the Strip. It's a pretty great place to live, cost of living is well below New England, no income tax, about 30 concert options each night and have Zion, Bryce Canyon, LA, Moab, Yosemite, Phoenix, Tahoe, Sequoia within 6 hours

The amount of time you cant spend outside due to the heat is the same as the amount of time you cant spend outside in New England because of winter.

Blank check them both

NESN? More like bounced check . . . .

In winter, you can wear an extra layer. Can't exactly strip down to your skivs in publicc.

Brick could easily become "Inside the Glass"

Or I wonder if they slide him over to the intermission crew. I like Brick. He usually seems sensible and objective on things.

 

[BradPark22]

Zero chance that NESN is going to push him out the door without any farewell.

 

[Gordoff]

I will kill you now.

Yeah, gotta expect Hnidy would get a studio spot for a year while Brick has his farewell tour then moves into the booth

I always loved listening to Goucher. I like the Bruins radio guy now but I think he sounds like Kevin Dunn, and I can't unhear it.
and I've been a Sherriff fan for a while now, even back to his Prince Albert Raider days.
Like most here, I'd be all for this.

Lot of people in this thread that think that Vegas begins and ends with the Strip. It’s a good place to live. It’s only unbearable 3 months of the year. The rest of the months it’s 70-80 and sunny. My buddy raised 5 kids in Boulder City. The schools are good, the youth sports are good, the neighborhoods are quiet, the lake is nice, and there’s plenty to do. Locals avoid the strip like Bostonians avoid Quincey Market and Faniuel Hall. Summerlin is a pretty lux area as well. Vegas hasn’t been the fastest growing real estate market in America for the past 20 years because people are moving there for gambling, buffets, and Barry Manilow.

But I digress.. Get GOUCH

 

[FU Shoresy]

I can confirm that both Dave Goucher and Shane Hnidy have had discussions with NESN for next year and talks are ongoing.

Any news/updates on this?

You’ve been gone a minute eh?

Winters are nothing now in massachusetts. Very little snow and goes below 20 now sparsely. I know, I’m a gardener. Our growing season has absolutely extended

I’d call it more like about a month where it’s unpleasant to be outside and 2 on each end where it’s chilly but great fire and drinks weather

I find vegas to be overrated personally but you’re right about those places, a 6 hour drive isn’t nothing but theyre all great and 6 hours is better than 30 !

Goucher is one of the greats. Like up near Bob Wilson level great. NESN please make this happen!

Agreed.

I would watch VGK games just to listen to him. Brilliant.

 

[mikelvl]

I seriously doubt that this is going to happen. I have no sources, but something about this rings unbelievable to me. I would love to eat these words.

I absolutely love Vegas. I go twice a year most years. I go in November to golf where the weather is perfect for this Polar Bear owner and again in March/April where it's perfect pool season, haha.

But you don’t live there.

 

[Sheppy]

But you don’t live there.

No, I live where temperatures reach -60 and the winters are among the coldest on earth.

I'd welcome Vegas if the stars aligned.

idk if anyone who posted in this thread before is still monitoring it, but I'm a man of my word and here's my 23-24 hockey play-by-play demo. I hope the Boston Bruins will consider me for the gig. may the best man win and good luck to the B's the rest of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Here’s the thing about broadcasting at the pro level.

You can do all your homework, be knowledgeable, have zero issues keeping up with the play and calling it accurately. But at the end of the day you need the voice for it.

And unfortunately for the most part that’s just something you’re either born with or you’re not.

I think you’ve got a voice that tops out at ECHL. And personally I’m not a fan of the Randy Moller style of play by play goal calls.

As a Bruins fan I would not want to listen to you on NESN 82+ games a year.

That’s just my opinion.

Fix you broadcasting well your at it this was absolutely the worst year for glitches pixel problems commentary before the play total garbage served down our throats by NESN even there HD isn’t clear compared to basically everyone else across the league..

Not sure how there not embarrassed by the service they’re providing it’s 2024 not 1990’s
