Dang - thought Dinger was a shoe-in.

Aww I'll miss Dinger.
Great hire, but I hope Engblom works a little homerism in for tradition's sake.
“We firmly believe that Brian is one of the best in the National Hockey League at what he does and he will work alongside Rick Peckham, himself one of the best play-by-play men in the league, to deliver Lightning fans a national-caliber broadcast on Sun Sports more than 70 times each season.”
If he works in a "bunch of morons" I will be happy.
I guess he's still with NBC.

only more than 70, or are they segregating that Fox Sports Florida nonsense?
We have like 8 games on NBC this year. The rest = more than 70.
right.
also good choices. Jaffe has been a favorite of mine for a while. Indicates the competition Dinger was facing.
Weekes is a Lightning alum, would have been cool to have him too. Wasn't Enblom one of the annoying commentators on NBCSN that never seemed to give the Bolts much respect?
the fact that Brian Engblom has like 20 years in national broadcasting experience, and we can't remember what his deal is, is telling.
To be fair, I usually muted the NBCSN broadcasts. They got real annoying after a while, especially during intermissions.
Doc as always is terrific, but Pierre was hard to listen too. I don't remember much about Brian Engblom.

Engblom has a ton of respect for Taylor, and notes he doesn't think there will be a "huge difference" in styles, other than the obvious perspectives of Taylor being a former goalie, Engblom a former defenseman.
Too bad we didn't get Emrick, he's my fav
