Holmstrom96 347 Report post Posted November 4, 2014 Which is why they should have kept Murphy around. He was really coming into his own. He was like the lovable goofball that you couldn't help but laugh at. My two favorite Murphy moments... 1) Doing a pre-game spot on dollar hotdog night from the hotdog stand. When they delivered his order he had SEVEN hotdogs. 2) A couple of years ago when we played Nashville in the playoffs and Murph did his pregame spot while onstage in a Nashville music hall with full backup band. Every time he made an important point the drummer crashed on the cymbals and Murph would pump his hammy fist in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted November 4, 2014 I don't even get why an opposing fan wouldn't like him... I think he is one of the most exciting, knowledgeable, unbiased color analysts out there, but then again I may be a little biased... Who cannot enjoy all of the Mickey catch phrases (Mickeyisms)? And he always tells it as it is. If he thinks it was a terrible call to put the Wings on the power-play, he says that. He doesn't sugar coat anything. I love him.

I love him as much as anyone but don't pretend he isn't biased. Yes he will call stuff like it is, but he's always going on about how great everyone on the wings are.
