3 best play-by-play teams in the NHL (and why Dave Goucher is part of one)

Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond, Detroit Red Wings

Growing up, many hockey fans remember the Detroit Red Wings being the NHL's dominant power. With star players like Brendan Shanahan, Steve Yzerman, and Sergei Federov, it made the 1990s and 2000s optimal viewing for hockey fans. Many Red Wings fans remember the days of Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond calling games, adding to Detroit's NHL prestige.

Ken Daniels knows how to bring excitement to the game, sharing the same excitement when Detroit scores with the fans. He feels the passion throughout the game, whether it's a fight or a massive hit (i.e. from Niklas Kronwall). As for Mickey Redmond, he tells amazing stories that go with the game. They make the viewers think about life beyond the rink, expanding on their imagination.

The Red Wings duo made the team's dominance much more pronounced, with fans buying into the excitement. It doesn't matter if it was Yzerman scoring with mere seconds left in regulation or Dylan Larkin scoing the overtime winner. Detroit hockey fans are blessed to have this duo calling NHL games for the prestigious franchise.
