Post-Game Talk: WCQF Game 5: Perds at Whales 4/30 9PM CT

[101st_fan]

I know there is a lot of Willie hate but in this interview he pretty much admits he knew nothing about hockey when he got the job (he did play minor league baseball in Moose Jaw, so there’s that. It’s an interesting interview and brings back a lot of memories about the good ol’ days (sometimes) of Nashville sports radio.

It's been well over a decade now as full time play by play .... nearing 20 since he started working for the Preds.

just tuned in. how are we looking?

Some good, some bad. Hanging in!

 

[Aardvarksson]

Preds ahead.

i mustve missed the goal by seconds. damn!

Willy is part of the 29th ranked broadcast team in the NHL. Theres only 32 broadcast teams in the NHL. Just sayin

In a town built on entertainment- it is stunning how subpar the Preds on air talent is

 

[ShagDaddy]

DO NOT GO UP BY TWO!!!

 

[bdub24]

This is NOT how I thought this would be going

 

[braindead]

They can’t break me again this soon. They just can’t.

 

[Armourboy]

DO NOT GO UP BY TWO!!!

Not a problem, even with an empty net we won't hit it lol

I guess I'm in the tiny minority, but I like Willy.

Yeah sometimes they get on my nerves, but I still like them and would still rather watch my home team broadcast.

I’d rather listen to a guy that knows hockey regardless of how he pronounces the players names than a guy that knows the players names and doesn’t know hockey.

I'd rather have the homer. That probably says more about my knowledge of hockey than anything else. I've been a VERY casual fan of the Preds since the beginning.... Only a rabid fan for the last few years.. I'm still a noob.

 

[sparkle twin]

I'm still a noob.

That's ok, we all were at some point!

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

My friends, whatever fresh calamity awaits us these next 3 minutes, it has been a pleasure.

I just think a guy that has been broadcasting hockey games as long as he has should know more than he does. He literally gets paid to watch every game.

 

[MadMax5150]

Can we please hit an empty net tonight?

 

[Armourboy]

My friends, whatever fresh calamity awaits us these next 3 minutes, it has been a pleasure.

Just please don't need Josi to clear the puck.

 

[101st_fan]

Can we please hit an empty net tonight?

Maybe the side or the back.

 

[bdub24]

Can we please hit an empty net tonight?

Best we can do is a post clanger from point blank

It was interesting interview, especially if you’ve been here a long time. If not, no reason to listen. My biggest problem with Willie is “Oh, my laundry!” That’s so cringey.

No one is going to top Pete and Terry. Ever.

 

[ShagDaddy]

Petterson has an odd shaped head….

Redemption!

Omg, we actually held it!
