Jack Michaels - Oilers PBP

[StoveTopStauffer]

Exhibit 972934: Jack rambling about somebody being the only right-handed shot on the Red Wings while Connor is about to have a breakaway. Horrendous goal call.

I have eyes and don't really need every moment spelled out for me on a live television broadcast. My mind isn't even focused on the words as it's happening in real time.

Team is playing excellent so no players are being thrown under the bus. So let’s gripe about pbp guy. Quit yer whining or we will we’ll end up with a Singh or a Leah Hextall

This kind of thing happens far too often. Its totally brutal.
He had an opporunity to build the call right from center ice and instead he thinks that talking about right handed shots is more important. He then calls McDavids brilliant play at the last second.
He does this over and over again...I dont know if he is just too stupid to realize how he is negatively impacting the game or he just doesnt care.
I suspect its the latter..

The thing is...the point of a play by play man is to add excitement to the game. To enhance the viewing experience.
Otherwise we could all just watch it with the sound off.

All pbp people do what jack does. And yes, I’m glad Singh especially is not calling oil games anymore. I’ll take him and his stories once in a while any day.

Jack has his warts like yapping about something that has no relation to the game, but I'd still take him 10/10 over any other PBP. Unless some fans want the return of Singh (barf). Even having to hear John Shorthouse makes my ears want to bleed.

I have listened to a few NHL network broadcasters and they are light years better than Jack.

Jack's my favorite. Its calls like these on why Jack's my favorite. Just don't see the same enthusiasm or passion for the Oilers from other broadcasters.
