News Article: Boynton to return as radio color analyst.

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Let's give Boynton a second chance, shall we? He was by far the most objective of the broadcast team and didn't sugar coat the team's failures like Lapinski did. I got real tired of listening to Lapinski wax poetic on how the victorious opponent had all the advantages so don't hold it against the Coyotes routine. For the first time in years, I didn't listen to the complete post game show on the drive home.

Also, Boynton didn't shake Doan's member for him while in the stall like Nash did.

He's getting his second chance.

Thank God, just because that's all the less airtime I'm forced to hear anyone in the clown brigade speak (i.e., Tyson, McConnell, Heethouse, Lapinski, etc.)

This. He's the most objective of any of the broadcasters by far. He never sounds like a Quisling.

Social media acts like a perpetual motion machine provoking increasing stridency, anger and righteousness. I'm glad that the Coyotes didn't do the easy thing and wash their hands of him. I hope both employees and players take note of this.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Meh. Whatever.

Boynton and Heeter should simulcast. One crew for both TV and radio. Nash can have Walsh's job.

I'd take Heeter for PBP, Boynton for Color and Nash for Host.

McConnell, Walsh and Lapinski can kick rocks.

 

[0point1]

I cosign what rt wrote, that would be good.

Agree with all of that. Heethuis is an old pro. When I hear him call a game, I know what's going on, you know, where the puck is and who has it, in contrast with the unintelligible gibberish of his predecessor from Winnipeg.

I may be biased since he's from my home town. His intonation when a goal is scored is an impersonation of the great Bruce Martyn, who announced for the Red Wings when they were terrible throughout the 70's.

Do casual fans like Walsh and Nash? Especially the former. Anecdotal, but I don't personally know someone that does.

My friends who are dbacks and suns fans both hate walsh with a passion. I also don't know anyone who thinks he's ok even. it's always oh he's awful.

 

[KG]

I know people who like Nash, but nobody I know likes Walsh.

I would have fired his ---. Right or wrong, that's my opinion. He was good at his job, who cares.

 

[roadrunner]

Hard to believe that once upon a time, Strader and Pang were here.

I love Strader, but was getting tired of Pang saying " holy jumpin" every few seconds.

 

[rt]

Strader is the best PBP in the game.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I really miss Kurt. He made the game come alive with his voice.

 

[Jakey53]

Strader is the best PBP in the game.

I wouldn't say best, but one of the best for sure. Most of the Canadian teams have good PBP guys.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I've heard em all and I'd rank strader as the best. Then again I mute almost all announcers anyway so my opinion is probably not the norm. I think I like strades because he's straight to the point and not annoying.

 

[Muppet]

It was bad enough when we lost Strader as the PBP guy, but when you take into account who replaced him, it hurts oh so much more.

I would put Doc ahead of Strader, but that is just my opinion.

 

[Puck possession wins]

Can we pull Kurt Keilback and Charlie Simmer out of purgatory instead?

Curt Keilback would rather swim in a river of his own faeces than have anything to do with the Coyotes organization again, from what I have heard.

Really now? I preferred him over any other commentator we've had, besides Heeter

Dunno if you were around at the time, but the way he was shown the door was pretty crappy regardless of his ability as a play by play guy.

Yeah, TGO strikes again.

I so totally agree!

Maybe the bought those who decided his fate a round of drinks at one of your local casinos to keep his job... Just saying....
