I used to like Emrick, but now he's on NBC he's so annoying, he yells like hes dying after every play and sounds like wario from mario kart everytime he yells "fires" after a shot
@capnfooDRIVEin annoying every time time he talks its "Patrick Kane from the London knights" i probably hear that 10 times a game. Pat Foley is waaay better
he friggin sucks, sounds like an old man getting strangled, i dont even know how people consider him sucha great announcer, i agree with forcepro21 throne is hands down 1 of the best of all time
"I'm Mike Emrick. I make up terms and words that no hockey announcer has ever used in any era. Why would I want to respect tradition and just call the game?"
Notice how classy Yzerman was on not shooting the puck as hard as he could at Brodeur but dumps it in their zone so they can keep the puck on their first Stanley Cup
get this guy a fucking thesaurus!!! i swear, the only 5 words this guy knows are "drive" "rattle" "knifed" "careened" and his most overused word, "ricochet" (which was used 12 times during the DET vs PHX gm. 2) not to mention his voice makes me want to punch the fuck out of his nerdy ass face. Thorne, by far, kills this fag...
HORRIBLE play-by-play voice. A team is mounting a heavy attack in a crucial game and what does Emrick do? He's telling stories about what a player did as a kid growing up or what a player's superstitions are. His story then gets "INTERRUPTED" because a goal is scored. IF NBC "really" wants to increase its television audience, they'll drop Emrick & Olczyk and hire Gary Thorne and Bill Clement !!!
Emrick is the worst NHL announcer of all time. Or at least the most annoying. His regular voice is fine and might be ok for an NHL commentator just when he over exaggerates everything for the play by play it makes my skin crawl. He sounds like a wimp trying to sound tough.
He has got to be the most annoying announcers of all time. Hate watching hockey on Vs. just because of his annoying whiny nasally voice. I'm sure he's not, but he comes across as a phony who's trying just a little bit too hard. Can't we find somebody better? Just because someone's very animated doesn't make them good.
Mike emerick is so fucking annoying with that loud screeching voice and odd choice of vocabulary such as "scorching save and ladling it through the zone" him and chico are the worst pair of announcers as of today
i LOVE my ralph and razor that broadcast the Stars .. but you nj fans are fucking lucky man ... Mike is the SHIT ... one of my fav broadcasters of any sport ever
As a Calgary fan I have to give cred to Peter Maher but Mike Emrick is truly one of the greatest broadcasters I have ever listened to. He always seen to find the exact right words at exactly the right time=). So Devils when Mike retires you better have a spot for his name in your rafters because he deserves it.
wow emrick youre the most bias commentator. why dont you just say youre dying to see the redwings win another cup. watching hockey on nbc sucks because of you.
