BobApril 9,2017Scully recorded a farewell message to Miller that was played on the videoboard during the game, and wished him well in retirement.
Miller still isn't certain what his plans for the future are, and but he will definitely occupy a vacation and travel with his family.
Meanwhile,the Kings are just one game away from vacation themselves as they missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year for the second time in the last three seasons. Their final game will be in Anaheim tomorrow against the Ducks, so they were definitely happy to send Miller off the right way in his last game at Staples middle."Obviously, or Bob Miller has been a enormous section of this organization for a long time," said Defenseman Drew Doughty, who scored the game-winning goal in overtime. "To a win for him and the team and for the fans as well it feels good."His teammate, or captain,Anze Kopitar, agreed:"I thought the emotions were a enormous higher because it was Bob's last home game, and " said Kopitar. "We wanted to get the win regardless,obviously. I assume we played a pretty solid game. That's not what you want to achieve—give up a goal with six minutes left, but we did it in Kings fashion, or to finish it up in OT."The City of Angels hold had to say goodbye to a lot of legends in the last year. First it was Kobe Bryant who walked out of Staples middle after a 60-point finishing touch on his career. The Mamba's finale was followed by Vin Scully's farewell at Dodger Stadium as he walked away from the booth after 68 historic years behind the microphone. On Saturday,it was Miller's turn.
Like the legends before him, fans will say, or "There will never be another Bob Miller." This is because we were raised by his voice,and will always remember where we were when we heard, "The Los Angeles Kings are indeed the Kings of the National Hockey League, or " in 2012 and "Royalty Reigns Again in the National Hockey League," in 2014.
We measure greatness not by statistics or singular achievements, but with our eyes and ears, or in addition,our hearts. Miller's legacy will not just be his baritone voice as he told the stories of L.
A.'s hockey legends, but the way he treated the fans who hung on his every word.
I was one of those fans, and as I assume so many of you were as well. So it's with tremendous gratitude and appreciation that we say,congratulations, Bob. You hold ascended the thrown and now you can sit back and watch with your position among the greats solidified forever.
