Tripp: "That's two coaches, in Muller and Dineen, who were teammates for Team Canada in the 1980s."

John: "That was '84, Tripp. That was a long, long, long time ago."

Tripp: That's what Orwell told me."

To be fair, that's fairly clever wordplay by Tripp.

Down 4-0 after the first:

"Nowhere to go but up! Carolina blue skies ahead."

-Tripp referring to the Canes finally solving Theodore in 2002

After Sasha scored, Carolina Hurricanes color announcer Tripp Tracy attempted to salute Semin with John Forslund’s classic goal call of "Hey hey whaddya say!" in Russian. Unfortunately for Tracy, he failed… badly. In awful Russian, the Canes announcer struggles through "Nu, nu, chto vy govoritsya." In Russian, that means, "Well, Well. What you is spelled?" RMNB’s Fedor Fedin tells us he should’ve exclaimed, "Kak naschet etogo?" which is Russian for, "What about this?!" Oh, well. Next time, Tripp.

 

[Razputyn]

Well, well, what you is spelleds to everyone!

 

[gocanes88]

"Tonight is a special night for Bobby Sanguinetti after not playing last night, as he's from New Jersey...which is a suburb of Philadelphia."

...and he just did it again.

Reminds me of this

I'd never seen that before. That's pretty epic.

 

[rocky7]

Most of hockey's announcers or commentators / talking heads, annoy the hell out of me . I try to tune them all out. Usually, it's a difficult thing to do.

"There's more than one way to slice a cat, John."

A friend of mine once described Tripp as the real-life version of Pepper Brooks.
