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

yeah, i don't care for pierre either. and when we had our old speaker system, we turned down the voice sound and just let the crowd noise and game play be heard. much better that way.

Well, I guess it's a Caps fan thing then, because I have watched/listened to him work for well over 20 years (skipping his Flyer days), and no one else comes close to his preparation, knowledge, and true love and respect for the game and it's players. Every network save ESPN has called on him to be their #1 Play by Play guy, so it's not just me. He and John Davidson were the best duo EVER, any sport, IMO.

Milbury is as big a clown as a broadcaster as he was a GM, polar opposite of Emerick.

maybe it is a cap fan thing....i know when people talked up summerall after his passing, i was thinking 'he was great, really?' because he always seemed biased against the skins...
all i know is i don't care for him, but then again, there are very few announcers that i do enjoy listening to. most seem to think they're talking to complete morons who know nothing about the game...



and bt, you're right...joe b is great, locker---ugh.

4 goals in a period just shows you how little the emphasis is on D for the Pens. Every interview is about more offense when they need to stop Boston from scoring if they have any chance......
