Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted March 8, 2007 The problem in St. Louis is John Kelly went there from Altitude. The good news is, they split up the worst team in professional sports history when they took Kelly away from Peter McNab. The bad news is, now there are two teams soiled by complete idiots instead of just one. Only problem being the Avs got rid of Kelly, went thru Macleod in a few months, and now have Mike Haynes aka the worst announcer in the history of announcers.

Well, maybe in the limited time they've been watching hockey. Terry Crisp is the frickin' genius who was responsible for trading Brett Hull from Calgary to St. Louis claiming that he'd never make it as an NHL player. Yeah, some hockey knowledge.

redwing711 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 I'd be happy if they could just get our players names right. I think they do it on purpose as some kind of slap in the face, but don't realize it just makes them seem like a bunch of stupid hillbillies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salviaman 104 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 When Crisp mentioned about season tickets going on sale for 2007-08 season for Nashville, he pronounced the year 2007 as two hundred seven. That made me a sad panda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daniel1 32 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 Honestly, I can handle the homerism... after all it is the other team's announcers. What I can't seem to stomach is the large amount of marbles their play by play guy seems to have in his mouth as he's attempting to call the game. Why does "Radulov" sound like "wadruoff"? Datsyuk is Dotsweuk when he trys to say it... half the time I have no idea who he's even talking about. I know it's a southern Nashville accent, but for goodness sakes! If he's going to make a living by talking then someone has to teach him what "enunciate" means. It's an embarrasment to the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The combo of homerism and general lack of knowledge about any team but the Preds is really what gets to me. They're homers and, as far as they see it, no other team but the Preds really exists.

BOO @ Nashville and yeah... rabble rabble!!!! Oh, the announcers are morons. With over two minutes left, they hypothesized that Nashville was attempting to gain the zone in order to give Vokoun time to skate to the bench.

All I could think was "Is the fact that Tennessee has the highest unsolved murder rate due to the lack of dental records, or the fact that DNA evidence matches most of the population?" Wow. Did an announcer really say that?? I tend to think most people who have to listen to a "rival" teams announcers are going to think theyre homers, but did an announcer really say something like that?? Thats embarassing. Especially since its coming from Nashville - the academic center of the country, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Show me a coach who pulls his goalie with two minutes left, and I'll show you a coach on crack. If you're down by two goals and plan on pulling your goaltender, what's the difference between two minutes to go and one minute? Actually, pulling him with two minutes to go makes more sense since if you score with the extra attacker, you might have some time to pull him again and try for the tie. If they fill the empty net with 1:30 left or :30 left in the game, either way it's over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cincywingfan 1 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 <---Stuck with Center Ice / FSN feed I still like Terry but it is a little less every game I have to sit through. The other guy is BRUTAL. Yes they are homers, but that's how it's supposed to be. Ken and Mick are textbook homers and I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAredwingsfan91 28 Report post Posted March 15, 2007 You honestly think Arnott drove his elbow into Lebda's head? Anyway, I think Pete and Terry are awesome. They have fun calling games, they're funny guys and they really know their s***. They're homers of course, but every announcer is, Redmond is just as bad as the rest of the league. I've heard him make some ridiculous statements as well. Plus Pete and Terry are very nice guys to meet and talk with, Pete Weber posts on our message boards once in a while, and there aren't many guys in hockey who can tell a better story than Terry Crisp. "they really know their s***?" didn't that fat piece of meat Weber commentate baseball games? damn baseball to hockey he DOES really know his s*** then huh? he should have kept his lazy fat ass at the baseball field along with the rest of those so called "athletes". as far as crisp yes he was a coach for tampa bay and played for philly if i remember correctly but still if hes been around the game for such a long time he should know what to say and what not to say cause sometimes he just runs his mouth too much.
