After seventeen years away, the NHL made a welcome return to ESPN on Tuesday.
Ferraro and Boucher are both long-time NHL media figures.
Eddie Olczyk said he doesn't think calling games with Doc Emrick from different locations will be a problem. "We've worked long enough together that I really believe we'll be able to have the same cadence or symmetry. Once we get through a game or two, it will be just like we're sitting together."
As per a report from The Athletic's Rick Carpiniello, Pierre McGuire will still reportedly call games for NBC, but not on the No. 1 team. NBC's statement didn't confirm or deny the report, but said that Brian Boucher will again work with the top team of Mike "Doc" Emrick and Eddie Olczyk on opening night.
"I’ve been given this opportunity and I’m thrilled to be here and I want to be prepared. I want to come to the game every night ready to go and put my best foot forward. But looking into the future, I just don’t know."
