To each his own I suppse. I'm not a big fan of Redmond, but I can understand why Red Wing fans like him, he sees everything through Detroit colored glasses.
Case in point...
In game three, there is four-something minutes left in a tie game, and Redmond says 'you have to think the Wings are due a power play here at some point'. Then not long after, when the Wings were called for a penalty, he says 'you have to be kidding me, you're calling a penalty with 2:55 left in the game?'
OK so it's only OK to call penalties on the other team late in the game, but not the Wings? Jeesh. Come back to us from the 1980's, Mickey, when the only time penalties were called late in the game or in OT was when there was an autopsy involved.
Actually it was Redmond's boy Brendan Shanahan who changed the entire mindset of the league regarding this during the lockout, and penalties have been called late and in OT ever since.
Ironically one of the better analysts in the game, Drew Remenda, is right next door in the Sharks announcer booth. I do like Detoit's play by play guy, he's very good.
