LA Kings announcer Bob Miller on his legacy and farewell

Bob Miller, the legendary broadcaster for the LA Kings, called his final two games for the hockey team this past weekend.

The 78-year-old broadcaster has long been the voice of the Kings -- he called 3,351 broadcasts over nearly 44 seasons. But over the past year, Miller suffered two strokes and recovered from a quadruple bypass surgery. Miller was one of the most iconic sports broadcasters both in hockey and in Los Angeles, and his departure from the profession leaves a hole akin to Vin Scully's departure from the Dodgers last season.
