the pitchforking, squibbing, filtering, rattling around, careening, and playing along to the back does get to be a bit much after awhile.

That's my issue with him. His play-by-play call overshadows the game. Someone just needs to tell him to calm the (frank) down already.



Dear Doc Emrick,

You've already won the lifetime achievement award for best hockey announcer vocabulary ever. Now how 'bout you stop trying to show us how smart you are and just call the damn game without trying to invent a new word for every common hockey activity?

Thanks,
Everyone

yea he tends to watch those games and ignores the local bruins games completely that and he's also a fanatic for kansas basketball

I'm hoping and praying they beat Kentucky tomorrow night. I just don't see a way they can unfortunately.

well if they pull a flyers and start out brain dead in the first half they'll get killed

they've had an issue all season long of being terrible in the first half then flipping the switch in the 2nd half

won't work against kentucky but they could beat them if their full team shows up

I'm getting seriously tired of some Flyers fans posting their indignity about what went on today as if our team is pure as Lilly white driven snow. Get over it.

Stop reading.

You'd need a new building, angry fans from every other city would blow the new one up

I'd hate to be answering phones in the customer service department at NBC if that happened.

Absolutely. If you start slow against Kentucky, you will be down 15 before you know it. I think Self is a better coach than Calipari, but there is a pretty big gap in talent between the two teams.

How can a person not root for Thomas Robinson, poor kid lost both his Grandparents and his Mom in a 3 week time frame. That's unfair for a 20 year old college student.

It's amazing just how many stories there are like that with these kids. It's hard for a suburb kid like me to relate to or even begin to understand.

Oh boy.... Is the KHL season over?

It's not a joke about the plane crash. It's 100% true. The amount of passengers sounds a lot like the Lokomotiv crash.

No one has said it's a hockey team involved. I was just speculating due to the amount of passengers.

It's on twitter...however the crash took place outside of an area that doesn't have a KHL team. However, they have a Russian Major team based there that was on the short list for KHL expansion

Even if it's not a hockey team it's terrible. If I ever go to Russia I'm renting a car.
