Your most hated commentator lines

[3074326]

"I got two words for you, game over"

Cant get more annoying than this

It can definitely get more annoying than that.

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Personally I hate when they say what a player is thinking

 

[KirbyDots]

"Spanked it!"

Actually I kinda like that one.

 

[Benneguin]

Anything that comes out of Emrick's mouth. Although it was comical when he vomited his entire inventory of phrases all over my speakers when Kane scored that cup winning goal. I'd rather hear epileptic seizure Emrick vs the normal one.

 

[NYR94]

"Tower of power" from Pierre. Just bugs me.

 

[Ace36758]

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

I’ve watched a lot of hockey games and I don’t think I’ve ever heard that.

 

[kalessin]

"Winger win" courtesy of Hughson. There are a bunch of these every game, never heard any other play by play guy utter it once.

 

[Butch 19]

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

I'll add Fox's "time and space"...

and "he's walkin' the line"

 

[Seanaconda]

"He whacked him right in the trapezoid."

Woah there the thread wasn't best new hockey line of the year

 

[WreckedUm]

Got a Bee under his Bonnet
D 2 D
Carries over the 8 Spoked B
OOOHH ITS ROCKEM SOCKEM ROBOTS
They have beaten them, and now, they have beaten them up
we got a donybrook on our hands
Tic tac goal!

too many gems

“And it’s a can of corn for Rask/Halak”

 

[Seanaconda]

I’ve watched a lot of hockey games and I don’t think I’ve ever heard that.

Yeah me neither and I'm Canadian so the curling crossover would make sense maybe I just never listened for it.

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

boom goes the dynamite

 

[jcs0218]

boom goes the dynamite

Passes it to the man.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

“He’s got a long stick”

 

[Seanaconda]

“He’s got a long stick”

Do they just say that for every poke check or for guys with weirdly long sticks like lots of dmen and poolparty like to use .

Chara is always an acceptable for the use of that line as well.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

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.

I love those 2 !

The worst one is probably the Philadelphia "Tasty Cakes" one.
"Holy jumpin"
Also anything that comes out of Steve Cangialosi's mouth whenever the Devils score.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Anytime Doc says "waffleboarded"

"Knifes it on ahead"

 

[SpectralThundr]

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.

Yeah what the hell is the deal with NBC this year and women calling games? They're terrible.
Not sure which NBC commentator it is but "Melts it down" every time a goaltender stops play. Drives me nuts.

 

[Crosbyfan]

"...and that's a (penalty) call they'll make...every time"
when we all know damn well they don't and often won't even when it's clear they saw it and it's twice as blatant

 

[BruinNL]

Anytime Doc says "(...) is the chant".

 

[Alwalys]

although waffleboarded and knifed are high on my list, my pet peeve is "flexed"
like what the f*** does it mean to flex a puck

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Anytime Doc says "(...) is the chant".

- Early in the first period

- The game is tied at 0

- Crowd: "CBJ! CBJ! CBJ!

- Doc: "Defense is the chant."

 

[Martin Elz]

Ward (or current Carolina goalie) says no. Can you imagine a goalie compulsory saying "No" after each save?

 

[Braunbaer]

Not a specific line, but I don't need to be reminded every 2 minutes ...

... what the score is
... who scored
... how many shots have been taken
... what game of the series is being played and how the score is in the series
... what period we're in and how much time is left to play

 

[Chief Nine]

After any team in any sport in the playoffs goes up 3-0 or 3-1, it’s a

“Commanding 3 to none (or one) game lead”
