Butch-isms Hall of Fame

[Richie Daggers Crime]

I'm pretty sure Burke said "Oilanders" early in the broadcast today.

 

[MattyW]

Sounded like he said Cal Clutbutton ??

 

[Dipietro39]

Butchie also said something along the lines that Eberle would want the Islanders to regret trading him (he obviously meant the oilers).

And yes, I was cracking up at Leon Draiszel. So cringeworthy and hilarious at the same time.

Yes he did.

 

[Sparksrus3]

After the Dallas goal by Elie. "That's E L I E
I guess the E doesn't stand for anything.."

 

[BarBeauWahlDobLok]

"Discretion is better than valor" - Butch.

 

[BillD]

"Discretion is better than valor" - Butch.

I heard that one. Knew it would be shifted right into the Butchism HOF

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

In pregame- "John Tolaris"

 

[BillD]

Anyone hear him start to call Andrew Ladd "Andrew Jackson", then caught himself after "Jack". The first Canes game.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

He said Teravaho - a combination of Teravainen and Aho.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Heard him use a combination of Pelech and Pulock as "Pelock" yesterday.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

In pregame- "John Tolaris"

Right before that: "Your top line has to act like your top loin."

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

It's been too long. I'm thinking he has a good one tonight, I can feel it in my plums.

 

[StumpNYI]

I checked the gdt and didn’t see anything but did anyone else hear him say “he’s the second coming of sliced bread”?

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Did Shannon Hogan just do the "wink wink do you know what I mean" about Anders Lee?

 

[WagnerGrad96]

This is not really a "Butch-ism," but can someone tell me what "gap control" means. I never really played hockey - except for the Splish Splash deck hockey team in the 90's, which doesn't really count!

I've never heard the term "gap control" other than from Butch.

The space between the defenseman and the forward as the forward is coming through the neautral zone and making a zone entry. Too much of a gap and you give them too much space to work. Too little of a gap and you get burned.

That's sorta what I thought, but I was never sure. Thanks.

 

[LaF16]

one mans poison is another mans wealth

Beat me to it. He's a mess tonight.

 

[LaF16]

I quickly put a shoe in my mouth

 

[LaF16]

Mile hile effect. I’m on fire

 

[MJF]

Disjunctive.

Isn’t that an eye infection?

 

[MJF]

Lick Neddy???

It looks like Butchie hit happy hour before the broadcast.
