He has a good voice but uses non-hockey words/adjectives (waffle boarded, twisted along, played back - ahead, caught the glass, etc, etc) corney and can’t stand his description of the game. I would much rather listen to ANY other teams play by play man than him. He’s awful.
Squib, drive, turning stick of, everything is BY THIS NAME, BY THAT NAME, no knowledge of the game, becomes an icing, held by GOALIE NAME, obedient change of lines, constantly pointing out US College players, fake breaking of his voice for excitement, no idea of strategy or play. AWFUL.
I can't stand his call of games. He embellishes everything - so annoying. Goalies don't saucer and paddle the puck along, players don't cancel each other out, and the annoying irrelevant side comments. He stinks, ruins watching games. Pierre M bad also. Give me Kenny Albert instead!
I don't hate him as a person, but I hate when he broadcasts any hockey game, especially for the NY Rangers. He talks about EVERYTHING that a majority of hockey fans would rather not hear while watching a game, and it is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. He is probably a great person, but please don't let him Broadcast hockey games!
He has ran his course. Put him in Behind the scenes. Not doing the game live. His voice squeaks and he uses the same phrases over and over again. "Fires" "Ricochet" "knifed away" are examples of phrases you'll here 50 times a game. It's time Micheletti takes the lead.
YES!! He’s retiring!!
Unbearable & nearly impossible to watch any game he is announcing. Also his bias is very obvious & unacceptable!!

His ridiculous, nostagic comments and pathetic attempts at horrible "Dad humor" needs to be removed from this sport. Emrick was a joke as a play-by-play guy for the Flyers way back when. And, he's only continued to get worse from there. Do this great sport and it's fans a HUGE favor and remove this nostalgic fool.
