Redmond's Mickeyisms

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Official Mickey Redmond's Mickeyisms thread.

Appreciate this guy while we have him, he's often the highlight of any given game, especially this year. He is a pure broadcasting gem & I hope FSD will always see that.

10-20-18 around the 7:30 minute (left) mark of the 1st vs. FLA.

Paraphrasing:
"No, you should expect to be thrown down to the ice too...it's the game of hockey for God's sake"

-referring to the Matheson hit & throwing E.Petterson to the ice. (ensuing injury for EP & controversial 2 game suspension for FLA Dman Matheson).

Mickey and Don Cherry are forever Old Time Hockey.

Ginger ale gets me every time.

"If he has any brains & I think he does" He is the most jovial & best color commentary in the game.

If/when he ever retires from broadcasting, I'd love him to get an Advisor role on the DRW. 50+ years around the greatest game, arguably the best 50 year era, brilliant insights. SC winner.

Katy bar the door! We've got a barnburner tonight!

 

[Frk It]

His Krusty the Clown-esque laugh on this play makes me love re-watching this highlight even more.

"She didn't know Stompin' Tom (Conners) from a loaf of bread"

Technically not a Mickeyism, but he cracks me up. He'd be a blast to hang out with, especially at a hockey game.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Holy jumpin’!

Mickey and Don Cherry are forever Old Time Hockey.

Mickey is so much more likeable and charismatic though.

 

[turkleton85]

i love how he gets excited anytime a player shoots a slapper on a breakaway. AA did it in OT today and he just giggled, but you could tell he liked it


Mickey and Ken are pure gold



"we didn't have all that stuff back in the day!"

When i saw this thread on the board, i somehow expected this quote. It was one of his highlights today

Please don't insinuate that Mickey has any similarities with that disgusting moron

One of my favorite Datsyuk memories...The other being against SJ when iirc Joel Ward & Marleau? collided trying to check Dats who slipped away. Then when he turned a young Roman Josi inside out behind the net in NSH.

D&Z have some of my best hockey memories together, one game in particular against the Blues, it was like the Globetrotters vs. a JV team.

Does anyone remember what game that was or have a Youtube highlight??

"Holy Sss'mackerel!!"

"... with Phoenix is playing this loosy-goosy defense" (back in the 1990s)

 

[NickH8]

I think I'm obliged to contribute to this thread.

My personal favorite is when he did that sit down interview with Babcock and Blashil and at the end when they did a toast to a good season he spilled his drink on his suit.

Also "his jockstrap is out on Fort Street" is a good one.

By the way I miss Larry Murphy's drunk color commentary.

This brings back memories, too. That slight slur and the excitement over $1 hot dogs

In Hockey's version of a Cold War, as a triple agent working for the Red Wings, he passed that wisdom onto Kessel in an attempt to thwart the Pens. One day good 'ole Murph & Phil will have their own pre/post game crew.

Like many in the game, Mickey is fantastic in-person, too! Met him at a hockey fundraiser and joked around like we knew each other forever. Also, recently at a RW's game, he stopped on his way to the booth to take a pic with one of my co-worker's son.... with big smile and a "way-to-go kid!" Love the guy!

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

My favorite was from the 03 Ducks series (probably the only good part of the series) in game 1 in the 2nd OT where the puck hit the post, while many thought the puck went in and out, Mickey's first reaction was "This game is over boys!"...and then he sees the replay and is all of a sudden adamant saying "That puck did not go in the net!"

 

[Oddbob]

I found myself agreeing heavily numerous times with Mickey against the Panthers with the ticky tack calls, and old school stuff!

Against TB the other night, he had me laughing with a mistake as he said, "Hedman is a 20 guy a night defenceman!"

My favourite is definitely the laugh at Couture when Datsyuk turned him inside out!
