Emrick to miss Bridgestone Winter Classic
Mike Emrick apparently has come down with a case of laryngitis and will not be calling the play-by-play for the Winter Classic. Dave Strader will take his place.
Without devolving into announcer-bashing, I will say that I like Strader's "announcing style" more than Emrick's and that this game just because more appealing (as if it needed it.)
Not really Caps news, but I figure everyone here would be interested. Looking forward to a good game tomorrow!

I never really liked Emrick that much
To say he’s the best American hockey announcer and not Gary Thorne is blasphemous.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
