Whether you are watching on TV or listening on the radio, we now know the voices that will guide us through the first season of Vegas Golden Knights hockey.
The Golden Knights announced Dave Goucher will be the play-by-play voice for the team on AT&T Sports Network along with analyst Shane Hnidy, and Dan D’Uva will be making the calls on FOX Sports Radio 98.9 FM.
Goucher had been the radio play-by-play voice for the Boston Bruins since 2000. Hnidy is a former NHL defenseman who has been doing the same job for the Winnipeg Jets since 2014, and D’Uva has been the voice of the AHL’s Syracuse Crunch since 2012.
Dave Goucher
Dan D’Uva
All three are experienced voices in the hockey community, coupled with the experience in broadcasting games on TV from AT&T Sports Network (previously Root Sports) and on radio with Lotus broadcasting, Golden Knights will be seeing and hearing high-level broadcasts from day one.
This is, of course, assuming you’ll be able to see the Golden Knights here in Vegas. As of right now, neither Cox nor CenturyLink (the two main cable providers in the Las Vegas valley) carry the channel the Golden Knights call their television home. Thus, more than 50% of the homes in southern Nevada would not have the ability to watch Golden Knights games.
Negotiations are still ongoing and all sides remain confident, but the clock is ticking, and as of right now, the “Team of the Rockies” might only be seen in the Rockies.

I’ve been with COX for many, many years. If they don’t sign on for the games before the season starts I’ll be moving to DirectTV for good.

Should have went with Fox Sports, this probably wouldn’t have been an issue. Not to mention Fox Sports has better production. Another misstep for VGK management.

If we dont get the games will you change your sidebar? ‘Praise be to Foley’ can just become ‘Pictured below, Foley’.

No matter what happens, he’s still the reason the team exists, and this site exists.
That being said, we’ve definitely got some side bar ideas for #CoxBlocked as it gets closer and closer to a reality.

The studio color guy has to go… A bag full of cliches… His nauseating, slow deliberate thoughts have you wanting to complete sentences for him and now his comment on Fluery”he doesn’t put his words together very well”make him the most hated sportscaster in the history of Las Vegas sports…Fleury is very articulate, especially considering that English is his second language…. Golden Knight fans want him gone,NOW

NHL Las Vegas ANNOUNCERS have got to be some of th biggest fucktard dumbshit to broadcast an Nhl games.. Do they actually watch the game. Talk about one sided. I grew up, listening to games and I have never listened to such a bunch of one-sided pieces of shit, ever. you may love your team, but at least have the common decency to say what is going on. It’s down right disgusting! Didn’t your parents teach you any manners??
