Oh I forgot the weatherman was doing play by play

He sounds like the guy on WOR Channel 9 out of New York that did the calls for the harness racing back in the 80's.

HAHHAHAHAHHA Mark J's goal call was sooo pitifully bad

[bob_sauve28]

Sounds like a damned munchkin.

And Gerbe shoots? He played that with less sence than a pee wee.

The kid couldn't call a curling match.

Gerbe and Vanek on a 2 on 0 ...... not even close to scoring..... :sick: :sick:

[thesportsbuff]

How does an 8PM football game, a 8 PM hockey game and a 9 pm hockey game all have intermission/halftime at the same time =(

[darksabre]

Wow, what an awful play by Gerbe and Vanek. You're supposed to make the goalie reach, not come together in front of him. What the f*ck! :wallbash: That was a GIMME GOAL.

Gerbe and Vanek on a 1 1/2 on 0 ...... not even close to scoring..... :sick: :sick:

Fixed it.

Gerbe should be sent back to Portland for that play alone. Who the heck cuts across the slot when you have a 2 on 0 and cancel out your teammate?

[korab rules]

Gerbe should be sent to Portland tomorrow. I can't believe he pulled that stunt. This is the NHL, not your local beer league. Feed the 40 goal scorer the GD puck!

A player coached by Lindy Ruff?

Agreed. This experiment is done.

[SwampD]

Awesome.

Good call. That was a really bad play.

That's the first thing I thought....a harness announcer.

I don't care whose kid he is; he should never be allowed to broadcast anything again. This is horrible. I mean, horrible. John Gurtler was better than this! I'm switching back to the USA game, not because I care more, but because even Gary Thorne (a hockey fan, but a baseball guy) can call a came better than this. Again, why isn't Hamilton given consideration?

i think he's doing a good job...way more energy than hamilton. it's just an unfamiliar voice.

 

and i miss gary thorne calling nhl games...i think he's great.

 

in general, i think there is way too much pissing and moaning about play-by-play guys anyway. we're so lucky here it seems like some folks have to hate everyone other than rj cause they're not rj.

[waldo]

A little seperation between the two offensive players and a couple of quick passes back and forth to get the goalie moving before a wrister, redirection or slap shot would have been nice NATHAN.Not a backhand on a goalie sitting deep in the middle of his net.NHL goalies generallly do not get beat that way. Thomas is not a puck hog Nathan, he would have given you the shot if you were the open player. You probably would have missed that one too.

I'm conflicted. I think his play by play is very good (minus an obsession with the word "delivery"), but the goal calls are pretty brutal. I don't see how he overcomes it. His voice just doesn't have "it."

Steroids!

I'm going to pull a Swampi here -- Ennis atones for the early mistake and scores the winner late in regulation or in overtime.

 

Holy moly, the HD of this game is by far the best I've seen.
