shrader Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 The Flyers' radio team is fairly terrible, I've been meaning to post this for awhile. The PBP guy (Saunders) is fairly good at describing the play, but his trademark goal call is to let out a falsetto "GOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!". I've never heard anything but his goal calls, but yes, he assaults my ears. Your link wasn't anywhere near as bad though. He usually gets to a much higher pitch than that. He also does one other thing that I hear from time to time with a few announcers. He will refer to a goal as "a score"... something along the lines of "and that was a score by Giroux". That one drives me crazy. Score should only be used as a verb, not a noun. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) @PredsNHL . @PredsNHL announce hiring of Peter Laviolette as 2nd head coach in team history to multi-year contract Read more -> http://bit.ly/1on9Mr1 Also joining coaching staff is Kevin McCarthy, who will serve as an assistant alongside Lane Lambert & Phil Housley. http://bit.ly/1onazrO Edited May 6, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Quote
LGR4GM Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Posted May 6, 2014 @PredsNHL I actually like this hiring. Nashville I think could benefit from Laviolette's style. Not sure exactly how his defense will run with it but Nashville is one of those teams I can't help but hope get better. Quote

Nashville better get some forwards, because right now they don't have the horses to do what Laviolette is likely to ask them to. Quote
X. Benedict Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 Nashville better get some forwards, because right now they don't have the horses to do what Laviolette is likely to ask them to. The team that should play the left wing lock is probably the Canucks. Washington or back to Carolina is a possibility too. Quote
spndnchz Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 Me neither. Just installed Chrome and it didn't change anything. You have e mail notification enabled in settings? Quote
Iron Crotch Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 That the Preds were going to hire Laviolette was the worst kept secret in town. He and Poille have the USA Hockey connection and there was really only one candidate. Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 Report: Flyers promote Ron Hextall as GM, Holmgren to president Maybe a goalie will fix their never-ending goalie problems? Nah. Quote
Weave Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 Anyone notice that the Blues jettisoned their goalie coach today? Him and Miller not compatible? Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Anyone notice that the Blues jettisoned their goalie coach today? Him and Miller not compatible? Huh. Maybe the sign of a long-term deal with Miller? Especially now that Corsi's out with Buffalo, Corsi could be headed to St Louis too. Or maybe just Hitchcock shuffling guys around for his extension.
