Worst saying by an announcer.

[jollymania 162]

I can't help but cringe whenever the Blackhawks announcer calls a 'Hawks goal. He reacts like Jesus just handed him a million dollars and a ticket for free Angelina Jolie sex.

Anytime the puck is within 10 feet of the next and there is action he just babbles jibberish.

Kind of like Jeff Rimer whenever Rick Nash touches the puck when the Jackets are shorthanded.

The Lightning guy on the radio, Dave Mishkin, is horrible like that too. Anyone with XM knows what I'm talking about there. He's particularly weird because he actually sounds pretty well balanced most of the time, only to go apepoopy on goals. Even goals that cut it to 4-1 with 5:00 left.

Actual sayings...I actually like Pierre McGuire (I know I'm in a tiny minority on that) and can even live with "active stick" and "monster." But "roof daddy," used for a top-shelf goal?

Also when Benanati says BANG BANG that is ridiculously stupid.

He's about 20x worse doing a Caps game than he is on Versus. And that's saying something. He acutally says "Great 8" more often than he says "Ovechkin." Stupid nickname overkill.

The radio announcer for the Lightning does something similar when the lightning score an empty net goal in the first pre-season game. You think it was the biggest goal ever.

The way Benanati says score bugs me too. It just doesn't seem natural, if that makes sense.

And I think it's the Avs radio guy, maybe it's tv, who thinks every Avs player wins every fight. Anyone remember the Osgood/Roy fight? Another right by Roy another right by Roy. Surprised he didn't die from getting that excited.

Anything any of those scrubs at NBC say is garbage. Cant stand them. "That is one happy human!"

Sorry for the multiple posts, just saw something in another thread that reminded me of one that pretty much everyone does: saying that a shot off the post "beat the goaltender." No, it didn't. Why don't they say this about shots that miss the net entirely? It's about equally true.

Beating the goalie = puck in net, plain and simple.

Yes! "Happy human," "healthy human" and "logjam of humanity!" What the hell? Also, Joe Beninati drives me nuts! It's like he's got a list of adjectives sitting on the desk in front of him and he bet someone that he could get them all in by the end of the game! You can almost hear him crossing them off the list! Some of them don't even make any sense. Sometimes my hubby and I just look at each other like "huh?"

What's wrong with Waffleboarded? That's what they used to look like, hence where the phrase came from. To me, waffleboard is classic.

Because it makes me hungry for waffles everytime he says it? And if I ate a waffle everytime Emrick said 'waffleboarded' I'd weigh about three hundred pounds?

"WHOLEY MACKINAW!!!!!"

Nobody? I hate that s***. So annoying. I think the guy that always said this is retired or dead.

Yeah, whenever I catch Leafs game highlights I hear him say that at least 2-3 times for any above average save or goal. It's pretty awful of its own accord, nevermind when it's being screamed every five minutes.

Agreed. He sounds like a complete idiot. I'm embarrassed just listening to it.

And he's still announcing.

Sorry not dead. Joe Bowen going strong for Leafs TV and Sportsnet Ontario.

OUCH!!! Thanks for sharing. lol.

[Yzermania 156]

I didn't notice this one yet...but I think it's one of the worst ever....

"datsyuk's wind aided goal"

[Wings_Toledo 233]

Kind of like Jeff Rimer whenever Rick Nash touches the puck when the Jackets are shorthanded.

My buddy and I are convinced that Jeff Rimer wishes every player was Rick Nash just so he could say his name more often. "Rick Nash passes to Rick Nash, back to Rick Nash, one-timer, he shoots! Oh, what a save by Rick Nash!"

Datsyuk with a DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Gomez and Perry cancel...

There's a couple "Emrickisms" that just annoy me to no end.

If anyone watches the World Junior Championship on TSN each year, you know about Pierre and Gord. They are so bad and we have been so over exposed to them in Canada, that they have become downright funny to listen to.

Gord Miller drinking game... pound a shot everytime Gord yells "INN front".. listen for it next game.

Pierre trying to be cool and cater to the young audience is also awesome. Phrases like "roof daddy" seem so forced. In one 2 minute clip, we can almost cover what it's like to listen to these two all of the time. Pierre says "Ryan Ellis" about 8 times, and Gord drops the classic INNN front. enjoy.

I think my favorite part of the whole thing is "Not so fast, hornman!!"

Don't hate on Beninati. That guy is my second favorite sportscaster behind Thorne.

His voice is perfect for the sport.

I still remember a Wings/Caps game from a few years back when he was calling the game and said "Uh oh, it's Datsyuk" when he grabbed the puck on a breakaway and soon scored. That still cracks me up.

"DOC" is my worst... mother F*Cker! i hate when they call him that

Rrrrrrick Nash!

Gotta admit, those broadcasts are infinitely more tolerable without Danny Gare. I used to deliberately avoid their games unless they were playing the Wings, now I'll check them if they're playing a semi-interesting game.
