[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Wow they went all out! I love it

 

[Omni Owl]

Holy **** Gary Thorne calling a Kings game is my dream choice.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Now this is awesome news.

Bob Miller and Gary Throne?!?!

Best one-two punch in hockey!!

 

[KingTrouty]

Now this is awesome news.

Amazing news, Ziggy! Thorne is a bonafide beast, one of the all time best.

LA Kings are a legit hockey market folks.

Awesome list. Wonder if the Kings can pry one of the guys to fill the full time job once Bob retires. Or will it go to Nick Nickson?

It better go to Nick Nickson, but then again, I thought he would be getting more TV time this year (as did a lot of folk).

But Gary Thorne! That's almost as good as a legit 3C pick up (not quite, but you get my point).

Jon Rosen mentioned earlier this offseason that the reason it isn't Nick Nickson with Jon Rosen filling in for the radio feed is because it puts too much on their plates. It was just easier to hire someone from the outside to fill in for Bob.

Thanks for the feedback, Sox. I know you are all over KingsInsider (I have Rosen's twitter bookmarked and read the comments, ), so I take your reply as gospel.

I was in the small minority that thought Rosen did an amazing job last season filling in for Nickson on such a short notice, but I digress.

 

[kingsboy11]

Wow that's an All Star Lineup

No problem. Yeah, I thought Jon did a great job too.

 

[Keith Sweaty]

Amazing, Strangis is great.

 

[TonySCV]

My God... this is an all-star lineup. These are all top shelf.

 

[TwzKing]

I would have been happy to have Nick to fill in, but if we could snag Chris Cuthbert full time. I dont know even know... so awesome.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Holy crap that's amazing. What a lineup. Bob is irreplaceable, but that's about as fantastic news as I could ever hope for.

 

[ibleedkings]

holy **** im excited!

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I'll miss Bob, but these are fantastic choices

This thread is just too positive.

How dare they not hire Vin. We have the greatest play by play guy ever out of work in LA.
