Hughson's call in 2012 was horribad. ******* that's the best he can do?

I thought it was almost like a back-handed slap, as though emphasizing the Kings' futility. However, he handled himself brilliantly in the last three minutes of the game, talking about how the Kings finally faced adversity and then just going silent the last two minutes...I loved it.

About the 1:45:00 mark, enjoy the last two goals' call and the rest of it. He was very good during the Cup swap after the game too.

 
Yeah, but for the next 20 years what we'll hear during every highlight show is that last line and it was weak. I would have said something like - "After all the years of pain, frustration, and disappointment, the Los Angeles Kings are now going to have their name engraved forever on Lord Stanley's Cup."

Bob's call nailed the emotion we all felt.

I agree, I've listened to three national broadcasts through the magic of YouTube and they all fall very short. It had to be our own guys to illustrate the magnitude of the event.
 
I thought Emerick's call was pretty good actually. Hughson's was garbage. No interest, completely anticlimactic. He was calling it like he had his face painted like David Puddy.


"Gotta support the team."

Watching that YouTube link of the entire game 6 from 2012 it was so wonderful to hear Dave Courtney's announcements. Miss him terribly. RIP
