Faust got excited about tweaking the fan base on taboo topics (announcing a shout-out bid etc) instead of actually excited about emotions on the ice flaring or seeing something extremely impressive
Nick's replacement?

Who is Luc closest friends with? I bet it'll be them.
I've tried to find the one game I think it was at least in my time watching where he did it for Bob for a period or maybe even a game because Bob wasn't feeling well and I think I remember him saying he'd never do it again and it was terrible, lol. Early 2000s? Maybe only in my memory?
When I was a kid I was half enamored with goaltenders (Potvin) and Bob Miller. I'd pretend to be a goalie and do self play by play watching the games for awhile. I'll do either if the Kings let me.

Faust was terrible. He'd go off on the stupidest tangents ("we were out with the dad's last night and Kempe's dad is really into line dancing. He knows all the moves") and miss calling the game. He also seems to come from the generation of modern announcers who emulate Mike Emrick with the screaming when something is happening on the ice. [side note: That ESPN lady (was it Hextall?) was exceptionally bad at it when she did PBP the first season ESPN was back.] Faust's "dagger" call with an ENG felt contrived as well. And as pointed out above, Faust's banter with Fox just didn't work well.
We were so spoiled having Nick on TV during his final seasons. He made even bad games enjoyable to listen to. 44 years of awesomeness.
I expect Josh will get the full-time gig. John Kelly is available now, too.

I assume it will be Josh Schaefer as well. I thought I saw mention of it on social media, but not sure how credible the source is. I saw John Kelly is available as someone else alluded to, which I don't understand. I was hoping John Forslund would apply as I believe he is one of the very best, but he is likely settled in Seattle now.
