Your most hated commentator lines

[GnrlDisarray]

When you listen to the same commentators night after night there's bound to be certain lines they repeat. And eventually you get really tired of them. What are your most hated ones?

As someone who follows mostly Canes here's my top 2:

''Hey Hey What do you say!''
''That's Hockey baby!''

At this point I almost wanna hit mute every time Carolina scores so I don't have to hear them again.

Every time Pierre says "remember that save if team comes back" after the trailing teams goalie makes a save.

 

[Kcb12345]

"HE SCORES!!" When they're talking about the opposing team

 

[Conrad McBenis]

SLAVIN HAS A GREAT STICK

 

[dr robbie]

watch any Lemieux highlight video and you'll hear "beat him like a rented mule" like every other clip. That always got on my nerves.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I still don't know what a "mackinaw" is.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Jim Hughson's "he shoots, he scores" often sounds really forced and unnatural.

Also this is really specific but there's one Mikko Koivu goal from awhile back where the Minnesota commentator goes "Mikko moving, Mikko deking, Mikko shooting, he scores!"
Always really bugged me that he didn't finish it off with "Mikko scoring", he literally set it up perfectly.

 

[Icarium]

"To all of you young hockey players".

"Never a bad idea to put the puck on net".

Anytime Doc says "waffleboarded"

 

[Saekk]

Anytime Doc says "waffleboarded"

That haunts me even in NHL 19

I like Forslund but those phrases make me cringe. He is better on national broadcasts.

I started playing on mute when they switched to Doc. Not because I dislike him, but they just did a shit job

 

[Del Preston]

"Good draw weight" every single time a player dumps the puck down the ice and it stops short of icing.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I think every announcer has said "cleared, but not out" at least once.

 

[strictlyrandy]

Moser for the Avs constantly says "laid a lick" on every single hit and was saying "cleared but not out" failed clearing attempts.

 

[strictlyrandy]

I think every announcer has said "cleared, but not out" at least once.

Ha... just posted about Moser doing that! It's so bad.

 

[Wolfpuck]

He got it out, but he didn't.

 

[2CHAINZ]

that's why you keep your stick on the ice kids

 

[JT Kreider]

John Gianonne:

"FROM THE SIDE!!"

Rangers fans know

 

[The don godfather]

Holy makinow joe Bowen

 

[JT Kreider]

I also cant stand the Penguins announcer "HAAAAAEEEY SHOOTS AND SCORES"

My favorite all time call is Gary Thorne's "FEDATENKOOO!!"

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

This might just be Boston, but “blue collar shift” is such a cliche

 

[Anisimovs AK]

Almost everything Jeff Rimer says to be honest

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

Greg Millen: saying "right there"

 

[Garbageyuk]

NBA commentators are 10x worse:

"Mama, there goes that man!"



Be happy NHL commentators have not yet reached this level of schmuckery.
