June 16, 200817 yr That is awesome...even though its been known for a bit he was coming back. I couldn't stand Kelly....Eddie O was always taking shots at him too. Glad to have the best announcer back in the booth!!
June 16, 200817 yr Awesome to hear. Hopefully the Hawks add some quality FAs and build on last year. I am so excited the Hawks are a relevant team again. Foley will do TV and they will keep the guy who has been doing radio, right? I think the radio guy they got is solid
June 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) They just interviewed him on MJH. I love that man. anything good from the interview? I was curious why he stuck around with the Wolves when I heard he was offered a few NHL jobs. I always assumed he was going to get another major PBP job in Chicago, but never really happened. Did he discuss?
June 16, 200817 yr I grew up listening to Foley. Just proves what people said for years ... the greatest move the Hawks could make was Dollar Bill not being around at all.

Just proves what people said for years ... the greatest move the Hawks could make was Dollar Bill not being around at all. As I've said before...I don't like speaking ill of the dead, but you are right 'hat,' no free agent signing, no draft, no amount of fan appreciation could ever help the 'hawks more than the death of Dollar Bill. What happens to Billy Gardner now?
June 17, 200817 yr Today's news was good as well in that the broadcast teams are official: T.V.: Pat Foley and Ed Olczyk Radio: John Wiedeman and Troy Murray Best T.V./Radio combination in hockey, and you'd have a hard time finding a better one ANYWHERE IMO. Olczyk is great, I like Troy Murray a lot, and Wiedeman is as good as you'll find on radio IMO. Then, obviously you have Foley, one of the great voices in the history of sports broadcasting. If the hockey team is half as good as the guys calling their games, they'll win the Stanley Cup in no time. Edited June 17, 200817 yr by whitesoxfan101
