Assquatch Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 Will he get something special hung from the rafters? Hopefully that something special is Larry Quinn.
Trey Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 I'll always have fond memories of RJ, but he's been going down hill for a few years now. Put him in the hall and move on while he's still looked upon fondly. Then immediately fire Neale. I read an article several years ago that compared the PbP guys in hockey. They said one thing that really stood out for me...something along the lines of "we like John Doe because he can excite the fans without having to scream at us like some other PbP guys". That bugged me then, but over the years I've come to agree.
JJFIVEOH Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 Could be worse, we could have Mike Emrick who sounds like nothing more than somebody trying way too hard to do a Casey Kasim impression.
DR HOLLIDAY Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 His whole career has been based on showmanship! But I agree that after May Day, he started scripting big moments more. (And even the "May Day" line was not invented on the spot, not that time anyway.) :rolleyes:
darksabre Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 his son will come up from portland soon. then all will be well in the kingdom. please god no
johnyvegas Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 Gotta admit i like RJ's boy. I hated him at first but i listened to him do a Portland Game on XM during the Olympics and he did a really nice job. On occasion he sounded just like a young RJ. I think when (if) he takes the job, by midseason, it'll feel like 1975 on the AM radio again. Side note.. i miss Gary Thorne. The sound of his voice, an open window, spring breeze coming through ... just screams playoff hockey to me.
sabills Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 Hopefully that something special is Larry Quinn. maybe it'll be his buttpillow
repster Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 I'll vote for Dunleavy #1 and Hamilton #2 - no others please.
