Ahh, sweet. Watching a vintage Penguin game on NHL network with a competent play-by-play announcer.

surely you aren't referring to that "scratch my nutsack with a hacksaw" moron, are you?

No, I'm referring to the 2001 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award winner.

Can't wait for Thursday! Rangers/Hawks

are they one and the same?
honestly I don't know - when i think of Pittsburgh announcing all that comes to mind are those ridiculous non-sequiturs.
I think Doc Emrick is annoying as hell too, and he's a Foster Hewitt winner as well

Yes, one in the same.

I understand an opposing fan not liking him, and considering his sayings annoying, but there's a difference between calling someone annoying and calling him a moron.

His post-goal exclamations aside, he is one of the better play-by-play guys that accurately conveys the action and emotion of the moment on the ice. I did bring him up hoping to get some to tune in, because he does get unfairly pigeonholed by his sayings.

OK, I retract that.
he's not a moron. his sayings are moronic.

This just makes me sad. He really is a lot more than what he's most known for.

I like Doc, I'd take him over Jim Hughson anyday.

Maybe I should have put this in an olympic thread...

 

[dash]

I don't mind Doc, but give me Chris Cuthbert over both Emrick and Hughson.

 

[mattola]

yeah cuthbert has been my fav for a while. I still like hughson alot. but when we grow up with the play by play we have back to the 70s I have to be somewhat less judging for these guys. the worst in canada is lee and miller, hell rick ball calls a better game than gord miller.

 

[higgyfan4]

I don't mind Doc, but give me Chris Cuthbert over both Emrick and Hughson.

I would too. I love Chris Cuthbert.

NHL rejected Steve Moore's disability claim, according to court documents - NHL on CBC Sports - Hockey news, opinion, scores, stats, standings

Absolute disgrace - the league is only concerned about the money and not the long-term health of their players - they just want to get out of this as quickly as possible because they know they're in the wrong and they're screwed - basically they're holding Steve Moore hostage
