Who's the best play by play guy in the NHL in your opinion?

Mine is Mike "Doc" Emrick who calls the New Jersey games. He also calls national games for VS and NBC. Impartial, knowlegeable and great to listen to.

Worst is a tie between the Nashville guy who keeps using the word Bubba rolleyes.gif and the Phoenix guy who has an annoying inflexion to his calling.

That Phoenix guy is also on my worst list...how'd he get the job? Those weird and unnatural inflections make me cringe every time. crazy.gif wacko.gif

How is it that I simply CAN'T recall the funky inflections you guys are talking about?!

Anyway, I kinda like Jim Hughson because I always start looking for my game controller. laugh.gif

Perhaps, but since the first thing hasn't gone yet, I doubt it. laugh.gif

Ducks games are usually the only ones I watch with undivided attention. I'm usually working on something else with CI on in the background. And with my different work hours I haven't watched CI much at all in the last month. crybaby.gif

I haven't seen many of the local TV broadcasts so mine is from the radio broadcasts.

I really like the Leafs radio guys but I can't remember their names at the moment. ph34r.gif

The play by play guy for St. Louis also has a very annoying inflection. As far as color guys, Chimp Fox (LA) has to be the worst rolleyes.gif

The fast and frenzied calls of the CBJ announcers drive me nuts. I'm also not crazy about Nashville's announcers.

I think Andy Brickley is one of the better, unbiased announcers. He doesn't call things for the Bruins to make them sound better than they are, and he knows a lot about hockey that he can apply to the broadcast. He and Emerick are the best, but Jack Edwards, Eddie Olczyk, and Keith Jones are awful beyond belief.

I can't say i have heard enough of the radio announcers to judge the whole league, but i do like it when the buffalo score and the announcer does his extended gooooooooooooooooall call....gotta love that. I also like Carroll and Severyn (even though they are biased) as they are just too funny to not like!!!
