With Doc retiring, NBC had the opportunity to use the moment as a time to completely refresh their whole broadcast team. Milbury leaving and new studio guys is part of that. So why the f*** can't we get rid of Eddie Olczyk? He's never been a good color commentator and comes across as a bitter piece of crap most of the time. Yet for like 15 years he's been on the top pair, even after Doc retires? Does he have pictures of someone in NBC management?
Olczyck is a leftover from NBC's "Everything Crosby all the time" Penguins Pom-Pom Squad. He may be the single most terrible color guy since Phil Esposito.*
*Yes, Phil did color. Imagine a guy who is world renowned for the gift of gab suddenly forgetting how to talk. "Uhh this guy, gives it to the other guy and uhhh, yeah, that happens and uhhhh, look at that." It was embarrassing.
