After having to listen to the bruuuutal PBP announcing of Jeff Rimer for the past (seemingly) 75 years, I’m curious what your hot takes/opinions are on your team’s announcers.
Go.
Go.

Just in case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating about Butch:

Some of my favorites:
"Bishop is playing 7th forward"
"I scored my first goal in a 6-0 loss"
"The ref is checking to see if there's any blood available"
"They're dropping two pucks Howie, so they have a 50-50 chance of winning"
"Prust signed a four year deal at $10 million a year!"
"Casey Zeeky"
"If you look at Peter Laviolette you can see that he's a little bit incest"
"Scott Hartnell is having the career of his life."
"Steve Tavaros"
"Don't let the fat lady sing until it's absolutely necessary."
"John Tavares has W-I-N-N engraved in his DNA."
"...even though the Islanders are down by three, you have to give them a lot of credit..."
"...great poke-check by 'Kryptosoft'..."
"Joe Pavalovski"
"Mike Calamari"
Forslund is the best in the business.
Tripp is incredibly goofy and has a tendency to go off on long rambling tangents. One time he head butted a birthday cake.
They have great chemistry though, and make it work. I can’t think of a duo I would rather listen to.
Burke as in Brian burke???Burke is a terrific PBP guy. Butch took 1 (or 20) too many shots to the head during his career and sounds like your uncle with dementia at Thanksgiving
