Ray is fun to listen to like reading these quotes in his voice.

 

[Paxon]

"Michael Nerbert"

 

[Fearnot]

"Sabres need to keep shooping here."

 

[sabregoat]

"Back on the powerplay for the first time tonight"

 

[MattyB101]

[JOHNBOY]

Collackasen = Cam Atkinson

He said it so fast I don't even think he thought about saying the first and last name. He just made a noise.

This made me lol..

 

[dire wolf]

How many times a game does Dunleavy say "stays with it"?

 

[Myllz]

Weirds me out how often he says "He's a big, strong man."

 

[swordfan23]

Last night he said "aggressle" instead of aggressive. I'm not sure I can take another year of listening to him speak.

"Back on the powerplay for the first time tonight"

I heard this last night and knew someone would put in here.

How many times a game does Dunleavy say "stays with it"?

Never noticed any excessive use of this before, but i'll listen for it now. I still like Dunleavy. Doesn't try and be "RJ2.0." Sounds like he keeps it interesting for radio listeners and paints a pretty accurate picture of the game.

 

[Man of Principles]

"Yeah little communication error out front there breakdown."

 

[Tapu Coco]

"Stewart's still going at it with Pichanik"

 

[Strexvale]

Dunleavy definitely has his vocal quirks. He likes to use the players full name instead of just the last name, he loves saying "big Tyler Myers" or "the Big man" every time he talks about him, and he likes to be very specific in his descriptions. I.e. right wing, instead of wing. If you listen to RJ he's very economic in his word choice and you can visualize the game as though you're sitting anywhere in the arena, Dunleavy describes the game specifically from his vantage point.

Eh, every announcer has the phrases they use a lot. RJ uses "clears the puck" for everything--he always uses it even when he means "centering the puck", but we ignore it at this point. Emrick says drive for everything, Beninati says melts the puck instead of freezes it, etc.

As someone who doesn't have any emotional attachment or added sentimental value to RJ, Dunleavy is a league above him at this point, to say the least.

Quite frankly, I switch over to the other stream if RJ is commentating. It's just not enjoyable anymore. Probably sounds cynical because of the cancer aspect of it all, I know, but just being honest here. ;/

My favorite recent ones:

He's so enthusiasm
Head on a swiggle
Slosser pass

The first time I read this post, I thought it was jBuds doing his weird spelling thing. Then I realized what thread I was reading...

 

[Bearbait]

Last nights commentary about taking a dump in the bathroom of the hotel in Montreal....."I didn't want to leave, I just wanted to sit there forever"......

So did we Rob, so did we.......

(want him to sit there forever that is)

 

[Zman5778]

I swear last night it wasn't Dustin Tokarski. It was Dustin "Toharski"

 

[jBuds]

The first time I read this post, I thought it was jBuds doing his weird spelling thing. Then I realized what thread I was reading...

it's actually a type of bedding. Quite fancy. Satin sheets kind of thing. Rutso kind of linen.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

I love how he says "Desharnais." He just sort of mumbles and slurs the first few syllables until he gets to "nais." I laugh every time.

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

I just want to say "Nice Job" to the United Way silent auction. My last second bid got "acrost", and now I am the proud owner of a signed Rob Ray jersey.
