is the best play by play announcer in any sport.
Sorry ... he just is.

No need to be sorry, it's the truth. The sport is followed by mostly heathens, but Emrick brings an elegance to the game better than any other working announcer.
I love the Fox Sports pairing of Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery for college bball too, but for different reasons. -
Not sure I agree but I have to think about it. Have to review this one closely.Originally posted by slag View Post--------

I guess you never listened to........
Gen Hart.
Only the best hockey announcer ever."It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you."Comment

Gus Johnson annoys me ... that guy screams when announcing the lineup.
Raff is a pisser, however.Last edited by slag; 02-15-2014, 12:11 PM.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.Comment

Gene was good, but he wasn't better than Emrick.
If Emrick did the Flyers even Diggle would listen.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.Comment

Not even close
Emrick couldn't sniff Gene's mic.
Ever the contrarian. Put this one to a vote."It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you."Comment

I vote Gene Hart. He would have done an incredible job with this game today.Originally posted by Overbrook View Post--------

One of the the reasons why Gene Hart was so great is that he could handle a radio/TV simulcast. Back in the day they used to air his call both on radio and on TV at the same time. He did it in a manner that worked for both medias.
Not an easy thing to do effectively in a free flowing sport like hockey.--------

I probably cant explain this well but...
Hart and Harry Kalas both had the ability to let you know how the game and the play was going by the inflections in their voices and not just the words. They were also the best at describing a play as it was happening and not a secord or two behind like most announcers. They just had an economy of words.Officially awaiting Douchebagnacht II since
