20 years too late.
Pierre next please!
He can never stop his Chicago homerism while on national broadcasts. He shouldn't be allowed to commentate during games Chicago is playing in for national broadcasts.I hope Eddie Olczyk retires next because he is atrocious.
I always picture him sitting in the booth in a Blackhawks sweater as he calls game. It makes his blatant homerism slightly less annoying and a little humorous.He can never stop his Chicago homerism while on national broadcasts.

He can't separate his local gig from his national gig.
It's all sports and it's very weird.The immaturity from NHL fans when it comes to the announcer/broadcast personnel is beyond childish.
I'd have to say tho NHL fans are beyond bad. Like as if the game revoles around their favorite commentator. And like hockey is my favorite sport in the whole wide world (northern Minny) But its just the way people apply this nonsense just drives me bonkersIt's all sports and it's very weird.

I don't think pointing out what people dislike about Emrick as an announcer is hating or whining. I don't like him AS AN ANNOUNCER because I think the jargon he uses is simply ridiculous - he knifed the puck, they infiltrated the zone, the goalie's paraphernalia (do you mean equipment), the waffle board, etc. Watching back in the 80s he did not use these terms. Actually, NOBODY used these terms. Just use commonly accepted terminology. Also, I find his voice incredibly annoying, just personal taste I know. If longevity is a main criteria then Emrick deserves to be in the HOF, but IMO that would be the only reason.
