We went to game 2 of the Buffalo-NY series and when the crowded started chanting "Miller" we turned to each other and said at almost exactly the same time, "The chant is 'Miller!' here in Buffalo." Every guy has his little tics it seems.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35329786.post-44520002791381674972007-05-02T20:20:00.000-05:002007-05-02T20:20:00.000-05:00I can't stand Joe B!

I love Joe Beninati but it looks like I'm the only one - I think I may just be used to him since he's our usual play-by-play guy in Washington. Certain phrases he uses will always make me smile. I didn't realize other people hated him, though...does everyone feel that way?? Poor Joe B.CapsChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842304975138438055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35329786.post-34709555045414076762007-05-01T07:27:00.000-05:002007-05-01T07:27:00.000-05:00Well in all honesty, I am only assuming it was Emr...Well in all honesty, I am only assuming it was Emrick who called the play by play for Sunday's Rangers game. I only saw the first OT between getting home form work and falling asleep on the couch. I could be wrong, but whoever called it was good!adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563446806103573261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35329786.post-53205650241981584272007-04-30T22:51:00.000-05:002007-04-30T22:51:00.000-05:00You people are nuts! I can't stand Emerick! He's...You people are nuts! I can't stand Emerick! He's been better the last few games I've seen but to me he doesn't talk about the play enough - too much time devoted to precious stories about so-and-so's childhood, tics, training habits etc - and once he's started a story he goes until he's done regardless of what's going on on the ice. He has no flow which is not good for a game as up and down and back and forth as hockey.<BR/><BR/>Interesting to hear other opinions though. I'm genuinely surprised - I thought everyone felt the same way as me!Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35329786.post-68658506824416811492007-04-30T22:18:00.000-05:002007-04-30T22:18:00.000-05:00Cool...I haven't had a lot of exposure to the Amer...Cool...I haven't had a lot of exposure to the American hockeycasters, so it's neat hearing what you make of them. Emrick and Olczyk definitely impress though.<BR/><BR/>There's this one specific tic I noticed - there's this other phrase they use for the boards. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they couldn't just say "boards" and go into oodles of detail instead. It's play by play! They have to be quick!leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04302562575472335411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35329786.post-81519943114325549432007-04-30T18:59:00.000-05:002007-04-30T18:59:00.000-05:00Okay, I was just thinking about this yesterday whi...Okay, I was just thinking about this yesterday while watching the Rangers/Sabres game. I guess it was Emrick doing the play by play, and it was very good. A lot of times, I find the play by play announcer so annoying that I just watch with no volume. Emrick does use some phrasing that you don't hear all that much...I really enjoyed his use of the phrase "cancelled out" about 200 times in the first OT.<BR/><BR/>There is one announcer, either for the Sharks or the Ducks, that sounds like Keith Jones and I always get confused when I hear him...like what is Jonesy doing calling play by play?<BR/><BR/>I know there is someone else that annoys me...I will add another comment when I remember who.<BR/><BR/>As a side note, for some reason I love Brian Engblom and his bad hair! Love love love it!adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563446806103573261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35329786.post-74563427226261692842007-04-30T17:20:00.000-05:002007-04-30T17:20:00.000-05:00From what I've seen so far, Mike Emrick & Ed Olczy...From what I've seen so far, Mike Emrick & Ed Olczyk have been the best. The worst are Joe Beninatti on Versus and Brian Hayward on FSN. I don't understand how Joe still has a job. I really hope that Hayward doesn't do any playoff games on NBC because that would be horrendous. He is very biased towards the Ducks and cannot tell or take a joke to save his life. John Vanbiesbrouck hasn't been that great either but his main problem is that he's boring.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631663414267137790noreply@blogger.com
