Best and Worst Play-By-Play Announcers

[Guided by Veseys]

I like the guy who does Colorado. He shows enthusiasm for the other teams players and goals. His calls for Avalanche goals are super animated as well. I like the way he says "NATHAN MACKINNON" when nate scores.

Best: John Forslund.
Worst: It was Paul Steigerwald. Paul Romanuk might hold the title now.

Blues, Oilers, Buffalo are all great and make the game much more fun. NBC's A-team is great, obviously, but their B-teams are just god awful.

NBC needs to figure out how to get Pang and John Kelly working the playoffs.

I too like Blues announcers. I also like TSN when Ray Ferraro isn't commentating.

I dislike far more than I like. The worst ones are most likely Panthers, Ducks, Bruins and especially Penguins.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stand this guy. The fact that he never shuts up is exacerbated by the pause he takes between every few words.

That’s too bad because he’s one of the best analysts in the game.

Having insight doesn't mean you're good at conveying it.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

The Panthers crew is a damn disgrace to the industry.

You guys still have potvin as the color guy? Loved him as a player, can’t stand his voice.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Montreal's english play by play guys and Edmonton's are brutal.

 

[TheSituation]

Jeanneret is awful along with Jack Edwards.

Yes. I don't mind the voice, it's what the voice says that is the problem.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Joe beninati caps

I don't like him at all but at least he's more tolerable than his partner.

'I enjoy the the Blues squad, I loved when Kings had Thorne as guest (was it last season?) I dont have any problems with Edwards, he knows hockey and is often well informed about the other team.

And Pittsburg went from last to somewhere near top 10 maybe?

Coyotes I think have a good one, and Forslund.

Oh and I love the badass voices the Caps have, maybe not what they say, but the play-by-play guy sounds like villian from a movie and the colorguy sounds like his dumb whiny assistent..

 

[Hostile Offer]

Kevin Quinn is another guy I don't like, he's incredibly boring. Doc Emrick is the best.

 

[aufheben]

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

Don't like Anaheim, Colorado, Washington

Tampa's crew knows more about the Rangers than I do lol

Gosh I miss Thorne so much.

Edwards is great until there's a fight.

doc is bad

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

I know he’s not the play-by-play guy, but Butch Goring is pure entertainment. Every game is an adventure.

 

[JoVel]

Gosh I miss Thorne so much.

Edwards is great until there's a fight.

The Bruins' crew is funny when they go full homer. Almost as funny as Chief was for us.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Jeanneret is awful along with Jack Edwards.

I find Jeanneret and Edwards entertaining. Because of highly homer biased announcing, you don't know what game they are watching though.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Bob cole is the worst

 

[Bizz]

I think a lot of people who hate on Jack Edwards don't remember his days with ESPN and HDnet. He was excellent back then. He's still just as good now.

 

[SquiddFX]

In Montreal Pierre Houde and Marc Denis are solid play by play guys on RDS.

I personally can't stand Romanuk and Galley.

 

[CCM19]

Gord Miller is great
