Your most hated commentator lines

[Flair19Woo]

Doc emrick: “and he shoots it into the paraphernalia of....”

He’s just trying too hard at that point using that word.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Every interview between periods the last question is what do you need to do this period? The answer is always get the puck deep. Every game. Every interviewer. Every player. Play a cartoon or something.........

just once I want one of them to simply reply, put the puck in the net, and skate away.

 

[Riddum]

"DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE"

 

[DOCHockeyGuy]

Anytime Pierre feels the need to tell us about a players background playing hockey. "Yeah he grew up playing on an outdoor rink in western ontario, his coaches third cousin twice removed used to play for the Nordiques, thats where he learned how to skate backwards from".

I know I’m in the minority but I actually love Pierre and how he tells about guys backgrounds. *ducks*

So offsetting penalties don't exist? Not all penalties result in power plays, so this statement actually makes sense.

That's sort of what I'm saying. Obviously there can be penalties without a power play, but there can't be a power play without penalties. So saying there are no carryover power plays isn't necessary when also saying there are no carryover penalties. It's a case of "A can exist without B, but B cannot exist without A." Just saying "no carryover penalties" would be sufficient.

E: Part of what's annoying about it for me is how predictable it is. Unless there actually is a guy in the box, he's guaranteed to say those exact words in that exact order at the start of every second, third, and overtime period. So it's a staple of his broadcast, rather than something that gets sprinkled in from time to time, but it seems like he never actually thought about the sentence logically.

 

[Hockey Joe]

Anytime they tell us about the importance of the first goal. Next thing you know, they'll talk about the importance of scoring more than the opponent.

 

[remer]

"we bring it up to Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson in the booth, take it away gentlemen" the game goes downhill from there.

So true. They are brutal. You always know which team they want to win the game. Very bias. HNIC with Nick Kypreos and Kelly Hrudey are not a lot better to listen too.

 

[Hire Sather]

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.

So you hate both catch phrases of the team you follow?

Sucks

 

[hangman005]

The two phrases I hate the most.

[Team we are playing] Score!!!!!

[Team we are playing] Win!!!!!

Is it so much to ask for a 98 Game winning and shutout streak?

 

[Pikesburgh]

Eddie Olczyk during literally every scrum ever. "The refs need to start tossing players".

 

[JRull86]

Some Jack Edwards gems:

"..with the reach around"
"Tumbling muffin"


And the best one of all...

Starts at 15 seconds in.

 

[TP]

100 seconds to go!

Spoons it into the corner

The post is 3" wide


From NHL 19, not sure if Doc actually says this is in real life...

OFF HIS HELMET MASK! what?

[Hockeyfan2390]

When a commentator says "the goalie had no chance on that one".

Also, I've never liked Sam Rosen's "IT'S A POWER PLAY GOOAALL"....but I don't have a legitimate reason as to why that is.

 

[El Travo]

"And no penalty called on the play." - John Garrett whenever a Canucks player falls.

 

[Do or Die]

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

Some kind of religious object, I think,,,,,

 

[Cup or Bust]

Louie Debrusk says "listen" a bit too much.

 

[P10p]

When anyone on a Wild broadcast, that isn't Carter or Lapanta, talks.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Also, a new drinking game - take a shot every time that Arizona's broadcaster uses some variation of "to the front".

You'd be dead by the end of the 1st period.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Louie Debrusk says "listen" a bit too much.

And "in the blue paint." Louie's got a lot of crutches.

 

[BLNY]

Well scratch my back with a hack saw.

[Emerica]

"X goalie had no chance"

Some Jack Edwards gems:

"..with the reach around"
"Tumbling muffin"


And the best one of all...

Starts at 15 seconds in.

"Reach around" always makes me laugh when he says it.
