Craig Simpson in general is grating on the nerves. He never stops babbling during a play stoppage. It's one big run-on sentence with no breaths in between. I wish I could mute him and listen to silence for 30 seconds until the next puck drop. Craig Simpson is the master at telling people the obvious. If you were standing in water, he would telling you second by second how wet you were getting.
He really is aggravating, and this for someone (me) who grew up idolizing him as a player.

As you say, he's the master of saying nothing but the already evident:

"Great save by Smith!"
Craig: "Ah-h-h-n-d how 'bout that save by Smith? Just a... great... save."

"And the play is whistled down on the offside."
Craig: "Ah-h-h-n-d Matthews tried to extent the leg there but just a hair offside."

"They score!! What a great goal by Nylander!"
Craig: "How 'bout that shot by Nylander? Just a... great... shot."

Remember when color commentators actually had... color??

Half-wall or half-boards for the the side of the O-zone. It doesn't make any sense, all of the boards are half-walls.

I could see if there a bone was sticking out of his leg you blow the whistle - You already know who.
