doc in the 80's early 90's sure, very knowledgeable. Today, you just keep hearing him talk about the old days, peoples fathers and tiger williams....... and when the fans are lucky enough to get a break from his nails on a chalkboard voice, it's filled with what i expect to be ANYTHING better, i'm given Pierre McGuire's "everything that is JR hockey" opinion, which makes me want to jump out of my 2nd story window, climb up to my nearest CTA red line and ask the next train that passith by my window to strike me down.

i would rather watch games on FOX with no sound and the laser beam puck tracker in standard def....then listen to doc emrick

I agree completely about Pierre, who's not only annoying, but creepy as hell, and I also LOVED the laser beam puck. Perhaps because I'm still living in the 80's/early 90's hockey wise myself, his waxing poetic about the great history of the game doesn't bother me a bit.

Who pray-tell would you rather broadcast the games?

Gary Thorne? The absolute, hands down worst play by play man EVER? The NHL leaving Espn was the best thing that could have happened to the league for that reason alone.
