#NYC #NYI #isles King/Picker royally screwed out of their jobs--again. Don't blame Lamoriello why this organization never issues a release, this is all John Collins. Fuehring got the spot because Bridgeport won't be here next year. And who's new radio guy in Bridgeport this ssn?

I guess we can't blame Lamoriello here. King/Picker were not doing road games the last few seasons. The same tone-deaf reaction to the parking/isses all over the failed Belmont experiment.
We are excited to announce updates to our programming team for 2025-26 to include Cal Clutterbuck and Josh Bailey!

I have no issue with doing things to reach more people. Having written that many teams replaced announcers this summer with praise, thanks, and respect. King/Picker were thrown out the door, and replaced without a word. That does not sit right with me. Jiggs McDonald has been honored by this franchise, but is not in the teams HOF.

As for the team podcast they had one already here.
King/Picker had token praise added to one of it's releases on Bailey-Clutterbuck like a hidden clause.
Ultimately despite all the noise/changes, the only thing that was added was an alt-podcast after a few national games when Clutterbuck (who's full time on television) is home/rested enough to go do a podcast with Bailey. The rest was replacing the Picker-Wright podcast which ran until April, replacing King-Picker with Fuehring/guests on radio/simulcast, and hiring a new person for a lame duck franchise in Bridgeport.
