I didn't really follow the Caps much till I tuned into Ron Weber's radio broadcasts in 1981, and I've been hooked on radio hockey ever since. You get a pretty good account of what's going on (even if neither of Weber's successors is quite in Weber's league in that area) and you don't have to put up with Pierre Maguire, Miltown Milbury and the rest of those lot.
Ron Weber was a great announcer. He used to do other sports on radio in Philly when I grew up. Gene Hart who did the Flyers games on radio and tv was the best IMHO. Emrick is good also.
For the first few years the Flyers games were rarely on tv and only the third period was on the radio. I used to pick up the Bruins games on WBZ while waiting for the Flyers to come on. The Bruins radio guy was good also. Maybe JCA recalls his name?
