Your most hated commentator lines

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

On the national broadcasts anything Mike Milbury says because it's always pro Boston.

 

[HFBS]

Whenever Mike Emerick says "He knifed the puck in!"

I collect knives but never once used one on a puck.

 

[Mikeshane]

When a guy gets nailed and looks to be hurt and hobbles his way back to the bench and sits down instead of going to the dressing room: "Looks like he's gonna be fine".

No he may not be fine, sometimes guys try to tough it out or are high on adrenaline and the full extent of the injury isn't apparent immediately.

 

[Number8]

Doc.... “and it gets glass”
Doc.... “and it becomes.......icing”

 

[tny760]

jim fox's "over the pad, under the blocker, that's a modern scorer's goal"

"long beach native, matt nieto" is one of the worst too

 

[Dicky113]

Jack Edwards has so many
- fungo’s it down the ice
- it’s rockem sockem robots!
- any mention of layers

There was actually a bingo game at one point with all of these that was pretty funny

 

[Huokaus]

I have to agree with the OP. I used to absolutely hate both "hey hey whaddya say" and "that's hockey baby!". They've grown on me a litte bit, but I still get all kinds of annoyed feelings when I hear those. And I'm saying this as someone to whom Carolina is the favorite remaining team.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Anytime Doc says "waffleboarded"

Anytime Doc uses his creative interpretation of English.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Colour commentators or analysts stay in one destination way too long. They just don't have more insight to the game to give. Same comments game after game .year after year

Greg Millen Leafs, Leo Rautins Raptors, Pat Tabler Blue Jays. You could replay their comment from any game in 2015 and the exact same comments would be the same in any game they currently broadcast.

 

[Limekiller]

Every time the Sharks' announcer calls the Coyotes the "Desert Dogs". If you made a drinking game out of it, you'd die from alcohol poisoning before you got to the 3rd period.

 

[Machinehead]

When the Rangers are sucking, Sam will casually count how many consecutive shots the opponents have. I get it, but it can be annoying in big games.

Love Sam though. He's a real fan. Always a professional but he will subtly throw so much shade at the Rangers and you catch it if you really know him.

 

[Timo Time]

Long Beach Native

 

[greasysnapper]

Most of these hated lines I actually like and have become fond of through their repetition. Feels and sounds distinctly hockey.

Especially, Holy Mackinaw. That is quintessential hockey talk.

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

Paul Romanuks fetish with making animal analogies all the time. Eyes of a panther, serpentine like a snake, circling like a shark, etc etc. Thank god they shit canned him.

Yea that game was great. Also cant stand "he can't handle the tumblin muffin"

 

[sandysan]

Skittered and or waffled
( blockers haven't had waffle cut outs in like 20 years)

Essentially anything doc says

 

[MartyOwns]

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

 

[Hynh]

"The goalie wants that one back"

Yeah no shit, they want them all back.

 

[DatsMagic]

"He whacked him right in the trapezoid."

 

[Sports2]

-the term net "moorings"

-"hes not putting any weight on that leg at all"
like yeah no shit dude why would he do that unnecessarily when he is being carried off. they always say it like a death sentence and then the dude comes back like 2 days later.

 

[Rygu]

Pretty much anything that comes out of Pierre's or Cassie Campbell's mouth. Neither of them should be calling games at the NHL level.

 

[behemolari]

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.

'Powermove'

It's the one which makes me cringe most. In my mind power move is something like this

we got a donybrook on our hands
Tic tac goal!

too many gems

 

[rocketdan9]

"I got two words for you, game over"

Cant get more annoying than this

 

[rocketdan9]

"Holy mackinaw" = Ridiculous
