VS Announcers

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

I hated the guys tonite.

"Osgood says no"

Really? That's your line?

[stormboy 47]

And keith jones beefing about the avs not getting a 5 on 3? Please.

This game was called pretty even, but the 3rd period was if nothing else in favor of the avs.

How many late, interference hits can a team throw and not get whistled...?

personally thought that one should have been called. i wasn't real happy after the game because the aves have tons of excuses for why they didn't win that one. *shrug* oh well.

my favorite doc quote: "...and kept along neatly to datsyuk."

I can't stand Keith Jones. With his "little boy Llyod Christmas starter haircut". I was totally laughing when he proclaimed a turn of events would have take place if that Forsberg call would have been made. These VS announcer all need to step into the office, cause they are f*in fired!!

[puertoricanWingsfan 5]

Its pretty clear to me that Keith Jones, Engblom and that other VS ass-clown are all sucking Avalanche cock. They do nothing but talk crap about how different it would be if the avs were healthy, how much different it would be if forsberg was in the game, blah blah blah. the FIRST thing out of their mouths after tonights game was this:

"you know, playing a team like the red wings is bad enough, but to play them as shorthanded as the avs are..."

can we quit it already? get haircuts and get forsbergs dick out of your mouths

agreed but also hilarious that we are getting to so called "Professionals" that are jocking anyone but the Wings, this just makes winning sweeter.

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my only comment is that i HATE when pbp guys call a shot a "drive" I dont know why but it annoys me to no end!!.....and theres a drive on net...or...theres a dirve that goes wide...you drive in golf ...not in hockey...pleeeaaasssee stop saying that. in hockey you shoot at the net...you dont hear the coach tell you you should have "drove" that puck.....okay i'm done my rant is over....

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

They just flat out SUCK. Don't even know what there talking about anymore. There little quotes are the worst I ever heard. I swear I could do a period and do by far better then these people. Also, who cares about the chants, just worry about the d**n game not the crowd.

While I was typing this I got the Montreal and Philadelphia game on. One of the Montreal players got hurt and then a little pushing went on and not sure who the announcer is he says "The player must be taking a breather on the ice, or he is hurt." You could clearly see the player was hurt. I don't know about you, I just thought that was the dumbest thing I have heard.

I enjoy when VS just broadcasts the TSN feed, Like tonight with the Sharks/Stars.

I agree, every game I find myself wondering where these guys came from. I have two sayings that bother me. The first one is, so and so "feathers a pass". I'm not sure why that one bothers me so much. The second one I know why it bothers me, it's "activates". I was watching a game earlier this year and the announcer said, "Zetterberg activates from the point". I don't think I have heard any other announcer say that and I thought that it just didn't sound right. It also called up some old images from when I was a kid (and I know I am showing my age here), but when I was young there was a cartoon on Saturday mornings called the Justice league, with batman, superman and others. There was a brother and sister called the wonder twins and when they needed to use their super powers they would say "wonder twin powers activate". So now when I hear him say that, I get this mental image of Zetterberg and Datsyuk as the wonder twins and they are going to activate their super powers.

I dont know who the one guy is in the Philly-Montreal series, but he will just not shut up about Carey Price. He keeps repeating himself over and over and ripping on a 20 year old kid who has had an amazing season. I hate Montreal, but it's starting to piss me off.

That's Joe Beninati. He knows so much about hockey that all he can do is tell you what color sweaters each team is wearing... 487 times a game.

It wasn't Beninati, it was the analyst he was with.

Did anyone notice the other night when Brickley said "Kronwall learned so much by playing in last year's run to the Western Finals"

Really? Because I remember him being out.

some of the terms you guys are complaining about make it sound like you guys are the ones who know nothing about hockey...that or you really just have low IQ's and can't comprehend a little imagination in the english language. Get over it, they don't get paid to say "he skates in, passes, gets a pass back, passes back, stickhandles around the guy, skates more, shoots...save with his right handed blocker" damn if you guys are distracted by a guy calling a game with words that describe perfectly what is going on, you really need to wake up and find something new to complain about.

I have to agree. Hall-of-famer Ernie Harwell had a similar unique broadcasting style. Notice I said "similar'. Obviously nobody has ever compared to Ernie.

Yes, Yes they do. That's exactly what they get paid to do and that's what they SHOULD get paid for. When you listen to a good announcer, you shouldn't even really hear them at all. They are supposed to dictate the play to you, not come up with fantastic phrases like "geometric pass" or make clever little jokes about how bald Pierre Mcguire is or sarcastic remarks about what a great hockey player Eddie Olczyk was. Those things do nothing but distract you from the matter at hand, which is a hockey game. I don't turn on hockey to hear two guys talk about that crap, I watch it to watch HOCKEY that's what they should be discussing that's what they are paid for.

"Holmstrom with the geometric pass!"

my geometry teacher would be proud!
