Maybe Mike can stick with the right pronunciation of his name too. Da-lee-a or Del-i-a.

I mean, I'm trying to give Mike a chance, but he's making it really difficult. I can ignore the mispronouncing of names or the more-than-occasional stumbling over his words. But I really can't stand the over-the-top excitement he puts out there over routine plays, especially when they misconstrue what actually happened. I can't count how many times he's screamed himself hoarse over a "save" on a shot that clearly went wide/high.

Same. I can give him some latitude on road games but at home, he has no excuse. He's too busy trying to ID every player who touches the puck instead of calling penalties or seeing empty net situations. Plus, he's always behind the play. Amateur hour.

Not the time or thread so I will be brief. You are just missing John who is one of the best. Mike isn't bad and he has gotten better through the year. Hes also doing something John doesn't have to do and thats call away games from a TV. No doubt John would do it better but still.

Turn on the Hawks broadcast and listen to Eddy O try and keep you from wanting to put a nail through your ears because if the other guy with him, or deal with either one of the Caps guys, damn they are like fingernails on a chalk board. We really have been spoiled. Now its time to listen to Mike and Tripp or as a fabled Cleveland Browns GM once said "Go root for Seattle", ok he actually said Buffalo but you get the point.

I was hoping Eddie O wouldn't get a national gig he KNOWS the Blackhawks but he put less then a tenth the effort for other teams.. (for his national calls)

Ass reaming in order for the Canes from RBA between periods…

Everything below is the honest truth:

First I read that as “ass ramming”. Then I kept scrolling, and finally processed what I had just seen, but remembered it as “ass ramming from Rod”. And I scrolled back up to make a Tobias Fünke joke, only to find out I misread it on both counts. Which makes me the Tobias here.
