From the article:
The broadcast: Bally Sports Detroit carries Red Wings games with Ken Daniels calling play-by-play and Mickey Redmond handling most games as the color analyst.
Local ranking: 2
National: 2
Last season: 1
The results: Red Wings fans have endured a lot of pain and losing in recent years. A bad on-ice product can sour the experience of viewers, so it’s a testament to Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmonds’ first-class presentation that Detroit’s local broadcast continues to be revered.
The Red Wings broadcast earned extremely high marks because of how well they strike the balance between clean, professional playcalling, informative analysis and entertaining storytelling. They have a perfect feel for what the moment requires. Mickey’s catchphrases are legendary among Wings fans, with his colorful personality adding a nice foil to Daniels’ sharp, objective play calling.
“Often I turn on games more to enjoy the broadcasters’ presentations than to follow the action,” wrote one fan. “I live in California now and still try to tune in for every game because I realize this is a true golden age in Red Wings’ broadcasts.”
Chris Osgood, Larry Murphy and Jimmy Howard have all rotated to fill in on color on occasion to high praise as well.

Osgood is wildly underrated. I sincerely hope he is kept on all Wings broadcasts for his entire career.
He started out iffy and nervous, but he not only improved but excelled.
I will say though that the way he (and maaaaaaaaany others) pronounce the word “especially” drives me fucking crazy.
