Who's the most homer TV announcers?

Watching the Calgary/Vancouver series I have to say the Vancouver homer announcers are downright awful. I watched the Chicago announcers in the past and they were very fair. I don't know if Beyak is biased in Winnipeg being a fan of the Jets but I sure would love to know what other fans think?

Boston and Florida have the biggest homer announcers Ive ever heard, just brutal.
Colorado's guys are ****ing hilarious. They actually go into depression whenever the avs lose.

Someone post that OT goal by Foligno

Denis Potvin probably takes this. Florida now, Ottawa before. Hard to take.

Oh, and my own home announcer, Bobby "The Chief" Taylor is ridiculously bias. Luckily, he can barely string two sentences together so it makes it more funny than anything else. And he's retiring.

The Pittsburgh guy, Steigy.

With him, the Pens can do no wrong. There will always be something to blame for the poor performances of the team (like at the end of the season). Hearing his depressed voice after a breakaway goal by Ovechkin this year gave me more pleasure than the goal itself.

HM to the insufferable Jack Edwards.

Sportsnet's bias against the Ducks in the WPG series was brutal. Down right unprofessional.

Based on highlights I've seen, the Philly guy doesn't even try to hide his disappointment when the other team scores.

Boston, Pittsburgh, as noted but Butch Goring of the NYI team is a little tough to take at times due to his homerism.

I'm a Ranger fan and our TV guys are fairly objective but on the radio side D Maloney almost seems like he gets mad and actually upset when the Rangers play poorly. Dudes a real straight shooter.

Boston - Jack Edwards is the biggest homers.

I watched a couple Kings games this year and would say they were the most objective crew that I have listened to in a while.

The worst, no one comes close to him.

I actually like Jack Edwards, somehow.

Florida's color guy is ottawa's old color guy. Doubt hes bias. Potvin was awesome and called out players every once and awhile


Jack Edwards and the guys in Pitt imo

Potvin was an incredible homer in Ottawa. He wasn't unprofessional, like I think Jack Edwards could be accused of, but he was very, very biased. And he's brought that same spirit to Florida.

Boston, Pittsburgh, but especially St.Louis, more so Darren Pang. He's beyond unbearable.

Watching the Flames/Canucks series they've been pretty bad too. Such Canuck homers for what's supposed to be a national, neutral broadcast.
