Joe is the best in the business!
Only person I’d replace Joe with would be the great Larry Brooks

 

[zlev]

f*** no

 

[JohnC]

I’d take Eddie O in a heartbeat over Joe.

The problems this fan base has with Eddie as a commentator have always been overblown bellyaching anyway.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Fine with Joe.

He isnt perfect but neither is Eddie

 

[RangersFan1994]

How about Eddie O whenever Sam retires?

 

[bleedblue94]

i think regardless who is doing color for the nyr games they are going to suck bc of the amount of fluff msg wants within their broadcasts. that being said i would love to see joe go for no other reasons than his constant need to talk over sam. it makes for such a difficult listen when joe is constantly steamrolling sam.

 

[Inferno]

Joe is terrific and is needlessly hated because he had the misfortune of replacing an absolute legend.

I like Joe a lot.

 

[Number 9]

Eddie Olczyk is a Ranger hater so f*** that guy.​

 

[zlev]

we have the best commentary team in the league and it's not even close

 

[TominNC]

Anybody over Joe. So tired of his oft repeated phrases. He doesn’t add any insight just talking for the sake of talking.

Sam should retire too.

Sam should retire too.

Yea, you are definitely in the minority with that.

 

[SA16]

Joe is a terrible announcer who provides no valuable information and just repeats the same catch phrases about the importance of faceoffs and just taking shots instead of passes.

They don't even do the same job. How about the Knicks let Gerard Gallant coach a few games for them while we are feeling crazy?

Came to say this.

Dude has a cup ring from 1994 and hates the NYR. I know why but jesus stop crying about your ice time.

IF YOU WERE ANY GOOD YOU'D HAVE PLAYED MORE

Don't forget his spot on detail as to whether or not penalty killers can stand or not.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Neither should be an option.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

poison

 

[Hunter Gathers]

What the f***? Eddie O is awful.

f*** that loser.

 

[bobbop]

Olczyk to Seattle

 

[ElLeetch]

nah. Eddie still has sand in his vagina because he wasn't good enough to take a regular shift in 94.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Olczyk to Seattle
