Confirmed with Link: Eddie Olczyk out as color commentator

[madgoat33]

They needed to dump dagger in like 2015. Its beyond irritating now. Goal songs SHOULD have like a 3-5 year shelf life at most.

 

[EddieTheEagle]

I heard Eddie O doesn't even recycle. He throws refundables straight into the river. What a POS. Good riddance.

I can’t stand Konroyd as color commentator but he is still better than anyone I heard last year other than Eddie. Hopefully they go an entirely new direction.

That's just false. Konroyd was putrid.

Its my opinion, so hard to say it’s false. I used to complain every time Konroyd was on. I still think he is a professional, just not for me.

Konroyd was putrid but the other people we tried this year seem like they are AHL or worse level.

There's something to experience I feel people are too harsh on. Those people have done announcing how often? Not a lot.

While Konroyd In and pre/post game has thousands of hours of experience... but all those replacements are bound to improve over time. Konroyd isn't changing after all this time though

 

[Salvaged Ship]

As bad as this team is going to be for years I don’t think the color commentator is too relevant, the amount of people watching is going to be pretty sparse anyway.

 

[Mattb124]

Bummer, he was a good one.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

*moves over a hundred posts to Anything Goes*

So.... Eddie?

 

[TLEH]

Eddie Olzyck is a union buster

 

[Pez68]

I'd be willing to bet the prospect of finishing his career doing Hawks' games for the dogshit team the Hawks are going to be was much less appealing than going to an organization with his brother, announcing with a competent announcer, and being the broadcasting face of an expansion team.

Could you imagine those two on a broadcast together? My 65 inch television would be thrown off the top of the tallest building I could find.

 

[HeisenBaez]

It was a great goal song when they were dominant. Hard to describe...it gave off a cocky, but lighthearted energy...as if the team was just putting on a show.

Doesn't really work the same when the team is not good. It's time to move on. New era.

Quite frankly I don't care if they keep the song or not, I just wanted to make the joke.

With that said, the organization has tougher issues to deal with currently than The Dagger

Well there's specific media guys who work om marketing and making videos who don't worry about much but exactly that. One od Steve Dahls sons is one of the guys who always does the jokey video stuff. He should come up with a new marketing thing anyway

65-inch TV? Humble brag.

Got it from Wal-Mart for a Black Friday sale a year or two ago. Couldn't pass the deal up

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Sharp, Burish?
Konroyd, Murray?

 

[jaysoneil]

Hard to not like a guy who was born in Chicago, drafted by Chicago, ends his playing career in Chicago and goes on to color for Chicago, lol. The guy was extremely humble, how can you hate on that?

The Dagger song can go. It's borderline depressing and has ran it's course.

 

[LordKOTL]

It makes sense now...

Eddie-O is going to Seattle so that whenever Rod Masters plays, "Lady of Spain", he can tell him to stop it right there.

Hopefully, this is also the year they move on from the Dagger.

Rude

 

[HawkyTown]

Eddie-O...Meh.

Gonna miss Pat Foley though.

What's JR been up to these days?

They're not bringing in the guy who said he wanted to have relations with a coworker on a podcast.

I know - just a 'tongue-in-cheek' question.

You forgot the word "married", twice.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You forgot the word "married", twice.

If they were both single he still can't say that.
