DENVER – As the Red Wings prepare to play in their third NHL outdoor game and Brad Richards his league-record fifth, the man entrusted to describe the action to a nationally-televised audience will be calling his 12th outdoor game.
Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick will be behind the microphone working alongside color analyst Eddie Olczyk on NBC’s broadcast of today’s Stadium Series outdoor game between the Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche at Coors Field.
“To be healthy enough and chosen – those are the two factors – and I’m thankful to God that I am both,” said the 9-year-old Emrick.
