Best and Worst Play-By-Play Announcers

[ConnorMcMullet]

Thought it would be interesting to see your thoughts on this. I'll start it off:

Best: Kevin Quinn (Oilers - I might be a little biased) Edit: 4 years later, how things have changed.
John Kelly (St.Louis Blues)

Worst: John Ahlers (Anaheim Ducks - Just so dull and boring)

I don't know his name but the Stars play by play guy is my favourite

 

[BigRangy]

Bob Cole ldo

 

[aufheben]

Ray Ferraro blows.

Tampa, San Jose, and Columbus have great teams.

 

[rent free]

jim hughson. he's the only non-biased commentator. all the other ones shouldn't be commentating at all.

 

[hockeykicker]

Joe beninati caps

 

[Viqsi]

Carolina and Florida.

 

[The Macho King]

Joe beninati caps

He sucks.

 

[JoVel]

I like Carolina, San Jose and St. Louis (and obviously Tampa)

Don't like Anaheim, Colorado, Washington

 

[snipes]

Chris Cuthbert is the best AINEC

 

[socko]

Just listened to the Blues feed of the Leafs game and I haven't heard the quality of John Kelly and Darren Pang in a long time. It blew the Leafs announcers out of the water. Have no idea why the Leafs don't hire Joe Bowen who is so much better than those clowns they put on their broadcasts.

Shorty is bad.
You didn’t ask about color guys, but Garret is bad too.

 

[Beautvillier]

burke is meh. down here in florida i can't stand goldstein.

 

[SI90]

Pens and Bruins announcers make my ears bleed.

Jack Edwards is extremely annoying.

 

[Goldenshark]

Chris Cuthbert is the best AINEC

Cuthbert always reminds me of Jim Perry, the host of the old 80's game show "Sale of the Century."

 

[gumgum]

there are only 4 reasonably good ones imo tbqh

 

[Dolemite]

I’m loving the new Pens TV team since they got rid of frick and frack who made people dumber during each broadcast.

However, no one tops Mike Lange.

Pens and Bruins announcers make my ears bleed.

Jack Edwards is extremely annoying.

jack is the best in the business in every conceivable regard

Definitely agree on Blues part.
Worst are the two senile buffoons in Detroit.

You all get Garrett because the owners and some whiny fans didn’t like Tom Larcheid. He was awesome and didn’t pull any punches during games. If someone was playing like crap (or the team was playing like crap) he called them out.

You must be related to him.

 

[DearDiary]

Boston Bruins have the worst announcers in sports

 

[Snakepit]

I like Jim Hughson unless the Canucks are playing and he actively cheers for them.

 

[StrangeVision]

The Panthers crew is a damn disgrace to the industry.

 

[SotasicA]

Rick Jeanneret. And I also like the Isles team because Butch Goring is so random.
