Worst saying by an announcer.

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I don't know about you guys but I just heard the worst saying ever by the Ducks announcers. I don't know if he made this one up but he should be hit with a stick.

"Bobby Ryan goes coast to coast like buttered toast."

What's the worst you have heard????

FOREARM SHIVER

They do forearm shivers in the NHL? I thought that was a penalty. :P

recently that s*** about "active stick" became increasingly popular among commentators... It is a bit strange to hear even for a non-native speaker. Especially, if it is repeated 5 times in 5 minutes :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

"Slap me silly, Sidney!"

I believe a Pittsburgh announcer got fired a couple of years ago for this.

Not quite.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Lange

He's responsible for such travesties as "Slap me silly, Sidney!" and "beaten like a rented mule".

"From 1975 until 2006, Lange served as the lead play-by-play announcer for the Penguins' hockey radio and television network, never missing a broadcast. On June 29, 2006, citing a desire to go in a new direction, Fox Sports Pittsburgh did not exercise the option year on Lange's contract."

Sounds about right. Fired was the wrong word.

[voice breaks] MY GOODNESS!!

No, the best I've heard from him was near the end of the Wings/Bruins game back in '07; the Wings had just given up and empty netter, and Emrick says "And the Red Wings fans head for the river; not to jump in, but to get to their cars."
