Emrick doesn't promote himself, rant, or try to take over the games that he announces.

He might seem old-fashioned to some, but in this media era of "over-hype" he is a welcomed voice on national broadcasts.

The "ass clown" remark is itself an ass clown line.

I knew about the double penalty about 2 minutes before Emrick tonight, yea he's a well prepared ass clown.

Tom, I didn't see the situation you referenced, as the hockey season ended 2 weeks ago (for me). Is it possible that Emrick missed something? Sure, but I will bet that he admitted his mistake and probably apologized for it. Most broadcasters would simply make **** up and pretend it didn't happen. Have you noticed how often broadcasters of all sports will tell you what just happened, then a replay will come up that completely shatters the illusion they have just created, but will stick to their interpretations anyway?

There are a handful of honest, sincere guys out there who's main goal is NOT self promotion. Emrick is one of them.

Want an example of the opposite? Have you ever heard John Sterling broadcast a game?

Excellent game to watch last night. Large spans of play with no whistles, plenty of shots, great saves and hits. Entertained enough to stay up till the end. Just got the feeling that they could play till Sunday and the Pens weren't getting another one by Rask, the guy was locked in.

I took a little extra notice last night and thought Emrick was locked in too. Him and Eddie O did a great job.

i agree about the game, awesome...but i didn't make it to the end, throwing in the towel after the first OT. have it on now, an encore presentation, waiting for the gwg.

as for the announcing, at some point my son asked me something about what emrick had said.
i told him, i didn't hear it-i pretty much tune out announcers these days, i don't need their help to know what's up.

That game was as exiting as it gets. WOW. Playoff hockey at its finest.

on a side note...
Mike Milbury is a stooge. he was chicken sh1t as a player, terrible coach and GM. Brutal hairpiece, and brutal on the ears.

After we got those bums who messed with our big race for skinny people, the cup will be Boston's reward.

whooooooooooooooooooa there bob, you might want to pull them reins back

boston is playing the best hockey i've seen out of any team in the playoffs. As much as i want ANYONE from the west to beat this team it's going to be a tall order. Claude has got them boys dialed in, and don't let 'm get a lead on you, they'll milk the sh!t out of Chicago or LA in the neutral zone.

I just think it's all relative..sure Boston's playing well, but this is the West where top to bottom the competition is so much tougher. The 7's and 8's weren't Toronto and Ottawa. LA or Chicago ain't giving up 6 goals in a game, which reflects a bit on how much competition Pitt really is.

Seth, I was mostly bustin stones. He's well prepared, and very professional. So is Joe Buck, I just find them both a little annoying.


The Bruins look like a different team since that amazing comeback.
