Butch-isms Hall of Fame

[Pnut]

He shot it in the Toy Department!

Yeah what the hell was that?

That it was upstairs where the toy department is usually located

Maybe there in Canada the toy department is upstairs from the rest of the department store items?

In the 80's Newberry's down here had the toys and housewares in the basement (In the old Gardiner Manor Mall).

Butch - the Winnipeg fans are not hospital,hospital,hospital, hos-pit-al, hospital
Jiggs- hospitable
Butch- yes I had a brain blank

Lots more today couldn't keep up

I was screaming HOSPITABLE at my tv during that exchange.

Butch also called Frans Nielsen, Fran's Lee

 

[GilliesGirlie]

I loved the hospital/hospitable one, the best part is he laughs at himself.

So far, the best Butchie quotes this year are:

"Yeah, she swims like a rock." - Referencing Shannon Hogan's swimming career.

And this paraphrase, "Bob Bourne was a fast skater, I guess he fell out of the tree pretty fast, too [laughs], but no, seriously, get well soon to Bob Bourne."

 

[Sparksrus3]

I think it was the pre game vs the ducks Howie mentioned
That Shannon was a good swimmer butch said "where down
South" Then Howie said something like no butch she swam in college
Then butch said " like a rock". I was shocked he was so rude towards
Her.

Butch is butch is butch is butch. He is a slice of cheese short of a cheeseburger but he's all ours

Jiggs over did it with the "Johnny Hockey" references every time Gaudreau had the puck.

I, frankly, don't like the nicknames.

 

[Sparksrus3]

There is only 1 " Johnny Hockey " and he wears 91 on our team.
Our broadcast team should have mentioned this on air instead of patronizing the other team.

 

[Renbarg]

There was a good one last night

Talking about how gaudreau's line is really short: "Gaudreau is 5 foot 9. Johnny hockey is even shorter than that"

 

[JTforPres2012]

"The neutrons aren't working tonight." I think you meant neurons there Butchie.

 

[islandermaniac]

Great story from Lyndon byers tonight about butch getting completely hammered as a coach on a road trip and byers had to get him to the airport and home to his wife. Butchie throws up on the way and byers has to get him changed before "pouring him into the airplane." Byers is a riot!!! Troubled, but a riot!!!

Anyone have a .GFI of Butchie getting scared when they shot the Cannon in CBUS the other night?

 

[Sparksrus3]

Equipment or paraphernalia . When Hagelin went to the locker room
"That's what I like to call it"
4 minutes into the second he says strait is playing very good. What freaken game is he watching

 

[cjdv16]

Howie: "The Rangers are looking for a shot of adrenaline to start the 3rd with Cam Talbot in net."

Butch: "Or maybe they're looking for a way to wake up."


Websters Dictionary: adrenaline..... gives a person more energy.

Atta boy Butch. At least they don't pay you to simply repeat what Howie says.

 

[MichaelK]

The greasy wheel or whatever that expression is

 

[Isles72]

I like it when he calls goalie pads flippers

 

[BillD]

Well, sometimes you gotta sell it some. If you squeak long enough, you know they say the greasy wheel is, well whatever that expression is.

 

[Sparksrus3]

Alert! Alert! Alert!
Butchie if you read this. STOP WHITENING YOUR TEETH!!!!!!!
Enough already. Compared to Howie it's insane .
It might be an addiction. Must be the new giant flat screen tv.

All I can say is you remind me of Ross on friends when he whitened his teeth.
If the lights go out they will glow.

Michael Grabovski

He calls himself that to be fair.
