I didn't mind his call, but what's with the OT part.
Ooooooooooovaaaaaaartimmmmmmmmmmme
His OT call last night was awesome, he was excited, he was energetic it was real
There's no doubt that Jack was excited. He was energetic, but not enough to stop from being drowned out by the crowd during the "SCOOORES!" part. Real? Not to these ears. That "OOOOOOVERTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!" yell sounds like a needless attempt to manufacture excitement. I don't think Jack is a terrible broadcaster- just a little misguided in some of his choices.
Read a while back on the LA forum that Michaels may have the inside track on the LA TV PBP job. That would be a good gig for him. I have to say I loved his OT GWG call and the call that closed the series last night. Passionate. Over the top. Emotional even if forced. Just fun.
I agree. He's an L.A. kind of guy, and would probably fit right in there, and be a lifer. Just not the right fit for this market, IMO.
On a side note, not sure how others feel, but I kind of like Dave Randorf on T.V. I like his style, not over the top, with just the right amount of emotion at the right times, and his mistakes are very limited. I have no problem if he was our guy in the regular season and beyond.

Randorf isn't bad. Hopefully I don't have to see Remenda next season. He's probably crying in bed knowing his precious sharks lost to the Oilers.
Would have loved to hear Quinn's call on that overtime winner by DD

would like Randorf and big lou in the reg season as well .doing a great job so far.thought the oooooovvvvvveeeeerrrrr tttttiiiiimmmmeeee was a little over the top but maybe he was really that excited or looking for a sound bite to hit us media
That overtime call is part of his schtick. He does it every time the Oilers score an O/T goal.
Its like the OILERS radio network thing that he does. Its these gimmicks that makes him so hard to listen to IMO.
Did everyone not hate Louie back when we had him full time? I seem to recall being one of the few people that wanted to keep him.
Re: Randorf/Quinn, they're both good. Quinn messes up names from time to time, but that's minor in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't object to either of them
