Your most hated commentator lines

[Phil McKraken]

I don't have a particular line, but I hate any type of good-natured ribbing and fake laughter. They do that stuff a lot.

 

[PolishPrince21]

Butch Goring: (whatever goalie) had no chance. (whatever goal scorer) made absolutely no mistake about it.

 

[T REX]

I miss Doc already.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

"I'm Leah Hextall" ....... three words that trigger immediate horror.

 

[Sheppy]

"I'm Leah Hextall" ....... three words that trigger immediate horror.

I'll second this.

Jeff Rimer;

“…spins, turns…”

“[Player name] effectively clears the puck.”

“Goal-mouth pass!”

“How many posts has he hit tonight?”

 

[robsenz]

hard/soft dump in the corner

I've always preffered "Pinching a loaf in the corner"

 

[Rodgerwilco]

I hate whenever commentators say "remember that save!" especially when it's early in the game it's only 1 or 2 goal difference.

 

[AvroArrow]

"Goaltender had no chance" Anything Jack Edwards says. Anything Pierre Mcguire says.

 

[Dr Pepper]

"Goaltender had no chance" Anything Jack Edwards says. Anything Pierre Mcguire says.

The "Tavares' magical play" incident will go down as one of the worst calls in hockey broadcasting history, IMO.

 

[tunnelvision]

“How many posts has he hit tonight?”

...and that was another "shot at point-blank range!"

 

[AvroArrow]

The "Tavares' magical play" incident will go down as one of the worst calls in hockey broadcasting history, IMO.

I learn more about a players junior career and junior coach than I do about the actual god damn game being played on the ice when Mcguire is on.

 

[Shark Finn]

Skate right shoot left

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Millen's "Right.... THERE" when describing something we all see very clearly always irritating

 

[Prettyisland]

Skate right , shoot left

 

[TropicOfNoReturn]

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

It's so dumb. I'd hate it anyways but the fact that it's the leaves just makes it that much worse.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

…and Stumpel up with it!

 

[Dr Pepper]

…and Stumpel up with it!

....Can't imagine that one's been used for quite some time.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Ranger fans will know what I mean. Sam Rosen.

"Off the post!"

Puck clearly hits the goalie.

There's a resounding ping that resonates through the arena. Even deaf people know what just happened, but my man Rosen with the call:

SAVE!!!

 

[SRBisles]

"Grip it and rip it" is the absolute worst

 

[Synesthesia]

"Holy jumpin'" makes me cringe everytime I hear it.

 

[Crashsunday]

Only two that come to mind immediately were:

''That's Hockey baby!'' - Carolina

"It's a Power Play Goal!" - NYR

Just grates on me for whatever reason.

Would probably have a few from Bruins and Penguins commentators as well, but turn the sound off if I am forced to listen to either team's broadcast.

 

[Nordekes]

"Puck luck"

 

[Minnewildsota]

"Compete level"
There's a word for it. It's called competitiveness.

Example: "His compete level is off the charts"

 

[tunnelvision]

Example: "His compete level is off the chart levels"

Fixed it for ya.

Also kind of related to this, what's the difference between "good play" and "good hockey play"?
