Worst Analysts/Commentators

[Gert B Frobe]

Who are the absolute worst and why? NBCSN, TSN, NHL Network, don't know all the Canadian shows. Just guys on the major hockey channels.

My $.02

Not a fan of Mike Rupp. Always talking about how he can relate to the best 4th liners in the league as if he were some legendary 4th liner. Was never a great fighter, never a great scorer and never a great defensive player. Calling Shelley irrelevant and saluting like Jagr all in one game was embarassing. At least Shelley could fight and knew his role. And mocking one of the greatest players of all time?

Kevin Weekes drives me nuts. "I can relate to that awesome save by Lundqvist because it reminds me of me!!!"

I don't mind Pierre Maguire anymore. He's weird but at least he knows what he's talking about and the players seem to respect him.

 

[Machinehead]

Inb4 Jack Edwards and Doc, both of whom I enjoy.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Homer vote for Denis Potvin, guy sucks

 

[Machinehead]

Homer vote for Denis Potvin, guy sucks

We've been saying that for over 30 years

 

[Coily]

Jody Shelley seems like has no clue what he's talking about. Dunno if he's really bad or it just seems that way, but he would get my vote.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Penguins Play by Play commentator Paul Steigerwald. Damn shame that his voice and nonsensical being and utter stupidity, will forever be there and prevalent in chronicling Sid and Geno's careers. Luckily there still exists videos of Sid and Geno with the play by play done by the best ever, Mike Lange.

 

[Machinehead]

Let me sum up Joe Micheletti.

-Dan Girardi is the best player in the world

-Faceoffs are the most important aspect of hockey

-The Rangers defense > 77 Habs defense

-*interrupts the PBP guy*

-Every American player > Everyone else

-Something something get pucks to the net

Yeah, he's bad.

Healy

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Homer vote for Denis Potvin, guy sucks

Really? I loved the guy in Ottawa. Not very good on the analytical side, and pretty bias and unprofessional at times, but damn was he entertaining. I miss the Dean and Denis combo.

 

[RaindanceMaggie]

In terms of individual teams broadcast crews, the Penguins are amongst the worst and the Sharks guys some of the best.

 

[Church Hill]

Everybody knows that Steigerwald and Jack Edwards are legally ********. Besides that there are only boring announcers, not bad ones. Those two are objectively bad, though.

 

[Luc Gretzky]

Biased kings fan offering Ahlers and Hayward.

 

[Thebolt*]

Glenn Healy , Strombo , Kypreos , Johnston , Cox

 

[OG]

Jeff Rimer and Jody Shelley are the absolute worst.

 

[Kranix]

Ray Ferraro and Darren Pang.
Greg Millen

 

[Bulls9220]

Mike Rupp did score the Stanley Cup winning goal I'm sure.

I hate the Colorado announcers. They're brutal.

 

[Bag of Pucks]

Boston guys on NESN. life sux when that's the only game on. It's like listening to Mayor Quimby call a game.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Jack Edwards, Paul Steigerwald are awful. Not a fan of Pat Foley either.

 

[Hisch13r]

No one compares to Steigy

 

[Chessarmy]

The Kings play by play guy is probably the worst I've ever heard

 

[M88K]

The Flyers PBP guy is pretty bad, had to suffer through it on NBCSN the other night.
Jack Edwards is on a level all his own of Terrible.
The Pens guy is bad.
Daniels and Redman(Wings) are pretty bad too

 

[Crosstraffic]

The Kings play by play guy is probably the worst I've ever heard

Bob Miller? If he is the worst I would love to hear you think is the best. Distinctive midwestern voice that has called Kings games since 1973.

Bob doesn't pull any punches when the Kings are bad.

 

[brokenhole]

Romanuk,Healy,Hrudy,P.J.Stock.

 

[GeNeXt]

The Flyers PBP guy is pretty bad, had to suffer through it on NBCSN the other night.
Jack Edwards is on a level all his own of Terrible.
The Pens guy is bad.
Daniels and Redman(Wings) are pretty bad too

I'm a Devils fan, and I enjoy listening to Jim Jackson. I could stand to listen to him more if he wasn't Philly's commentator.

Wow - Seriously? Joe has homer attributes but to mention him in here is asinine.
