New York Ranger Crisis SHOW # 169

I don't have anything against Ranger fill in announcer John Giannone personally , but as a collector of vintage Hockey videos and a ardent follower of the TV Hockey announcers from the 60's to present,

John Giannone comes across as a monotone company guy with no real passion for the game or team he has been affiliated with forever.

He does have a couple advantages over regular Rangers play by play announcer Sam Rosen.

Giannone knows the names of players on the visiting teams and can keep up with the action instead of editorializing like Sam does while scoring chances are happening.

He also isn't follicley challenged like Sam, who for some reason won't remove that horrible rug from his dome.

But enough about Sam. John Giannone has decided that "From the side" is an actual area on NHL rinks. So a fellow ranger fan from HF boards AOWRanger decided to make a video commerating Johnny G's work.

The video is quote memorable and has become somewhat of a You Tube sensation.

I think you will like it and enjoy it, especially from the side !

From the side? what does that even means?

[MomotheOld]

@MrFelixify who knows apparently John Giannone thinks "From The side" is an actual place on the ice.

[MomotheOld]

I;m not sure Boogs is the answer..he may windup being just as much as a disaster as Brashear. I will get prust in there.

[MrBarelylethal]

This guy seems to have some passion...FROM THE SIDE!!!!

[MomotheOld]

@MrBarelylethal when I am at the diner I like my french from the side !

[MrBarelylethal]

Ya Brashear is just scary

[GOODPLAYA20]

Dude, Boog's been in enough fights this year. It's time to put one of them into the intro instead of Brashear. We're trying to all pretend that disaster never happened and his image in the first second of your vids ain't helping.
