I should read these articles, but I really have no interest until this guy stops being a cheese-dick behind the microphone.

Did you know that Alex Faust when he does an article in June, the Kings go undefeated in the pre-season that follows.
Just keeping the tradition of Alex and his useless stats that pour out game after game.

"Cheese-dick?"

Wow.

Start with one simple thing Alex:

Bullshit less, call the play more.

For me, the guy was horrible. I found a lot of awkward moments, and his voice blended in with the background so it was useless. I found myself muting the TV and listening to nick and the radio broadcast. Looks like I'll be doing the same this season too.

Was I the only one that liked him? Some of you guys are pretty tough on an announcer. Sheesh.

I prefer the stories more to the playcalling, I can watch the game and figure out what's going on, but the stories are phenomenal sometimes, with Faust, you can't expect Bob Miller or Vin Scully like stories, but let Fox tell them....I bet you he has a ton of them.

I think his voice is great, but I can't stand the attitude like he's been doing this forever and he knows everything about hockey.

The voice was terrible for me. No smooth transitions, cliche announcer voice, stiff, and no semblance of any natural chemistry with Jim. I agree with the know it all attitude. I know he's young with not a lot of experience under his belt, but he's not a good story teller either. Bob had that natural ability and cultivated it through the years. I know there is no Bob Miller clone, but is this really the best we can do? Seriously?

This.

I get a tinge of condescension and arrogance from this guy’s answers in the article.

Biggest beef was the effect it had on Jim.

Outside of his lack of chemistry with Jim Fox I thought he was quite good. Good play by play.
