SoCalHab Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Where is the "None of the Above" choice? My 2 favorites are: The guy for the Thrashers (JP Delacamera?) and Bob Cole of the Kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMR Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 None of the above would be my choice. I really enjoy the announcer for Pittsburgh (he beat him like a rented mule) The worst must be the Yotes announcer all he ever says is the players names it is almost as if he is listing the players for daily attendance. If you were blind you would have no idea there was even a game being played. I like announcers who know their hockey even if I don’t agree with their decisions. John Davidson is a great colour guy.

gohabsgo252006 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I do really like John Davidson, he's great. Dick IRVIN was always my favourite though, I remember sneaking a radio into my room so i could listen to him on the radio, after my bed time when i was a kid... Those were the days. Now, I'd have to say Chris Cuthbert is probably my favourite on that list and it's not because of Elisha, but she doesn't hurt either. WORST: Glenn Heally, Bob Cole and THe Panthers tv crew (Brutal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and the drone that does play-by-play are right up there with those 2 homers from Carolina with those irritating voices and limited hockey knowledge.

PB Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I am affraid I dont know by name any other than Pierre Houde. What I can tell thought is......whenever I have the chance to follow one of our game on a different channel than RDS I take it. The fluid nature of the Canadien or North American English could well be..... a little more suite to the up-tempo pace of a hockey game,....maybe,.. but mostly I feel, CBC or TSN and SportNet seems to have a better conceptual approach to how the whole thing should be done. Basically,...they get out of the way and let the Action Speak....a clear prevalant role is given to the announcer over the analyste guy...and this analyste guy better be to the point if he dares making comments while the puck is on. The other channels are just plain better '' dancing partners '' ,...they know something about '' the flow '' and letting the game transpire into your living room......in comparaison, RDS offer a stiffed reproduction cumbersomelly overplaying their stuffs and even worst.....not only do they keep filling the full image with bright red annoying statistics but they are invariably late in clearing that image in time for when the puck get dropped for most of the game. Come on RDS would you just get out of the way ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummerman Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Danny Gallivan and a close second Rene Lecavalier, wonder if he's any relation to Vinnie- all kidding aside we need a brazilian soccer announcer to liven things up- and Pierre Maguire is an annoying clone of Howie meeker- wait i take that back Howie Meeker was annoying as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 That Pittsburgh guy is hilarious. "Slap gramma from her chair, I needa siddown!" Chris Cuthbert as PBP man is excellent. I'll always love Dick Irvin. Danny Gallivan. Ah, those were the days. It was actually worth it to watch the CBC. Buffalo fella is good as well, and I miss the La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lafontaiiiiiiiiiiine! That was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu30 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I like listening to Jim Fox. He knows what he's talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yeah, the guy from Pittsburgh is hilarious. Also for me, I'd have to sat Peter McNabb, Jim Hughson, J.D, Chris Cuthbert and another guy from CBC. Forget his name. And who I absolutely hate, hate, hate would be Glenn Healy (pompous douchebag), Pierre McGuire (stated he hated the Avalanche back in....oh...1999-2000. Haven't forgiven the asshole since then) and Peter Maher (He just annoys the crap out of me. He annoys all the Flames fans I know too). And anyone who works for Sportsnet West. They're so biased, it's not even funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
