Back here after the NHL just signed a 7 year deal with ESPN. We need Gary Thorne back in the booth ASAP!!!!!!

[@pomerlain8924]

And instead, they get Sean McDonough John Buccigross and Leah Hextall. SMH!!!

[@detroitrockcity8]

He was tied to Baltimore until last year. September 2021 he was in talks with ESPN. Hoping a deal can be made for 2022-2023

[@dannythomas417]

​@@detroitrockcity8No. And Steve Cangialosi didn't sign either. The Devils always had good announcers, and I hoped Steve would join national TV like Gary and Doc did.

[@luciousmusic211]

“OFF THE FLOOR, ON THE BOARD, PAUL KARIYA!!!” will forever be the greatest call by Gary Thorne of all time.

[@williampilling6576]

Gary Thorne is my favourite commentator of all time

[@carparthero]

i wish gary was doing games somewhere today. NBC could def use him today. if i'm not mistaken he didn't get renewed after 2004 which is shame, because he does good hockey tv work.

[@pinhead5043]

its just a shame he is stuck doing crappy orioles games on MASN

The depressed O's fan I know it's quite sad

By far the best NHL commentator EVER! Why can't he come back????? He had so much passion behind his voice!

[@alexeiponikarovsky3218]

I'm about to kidnap this man and take him to the NBC studios. It's a crime that this man is not calling hockey games

Best to do it when he's in Boston or New York.

[@srpdesigns]

Alexei Ponikarovsky. Alexei if you need any help like a driver or a look out man to kidnap Gary Thorne let me know I'm There!!!!!😉😀 ESPN with Gary Thorne and Bill Clement were the most exciting times in Hockey I miss the music the play calls and Everything about it

I live in Montreal now and I don't care what they say about their announcers here in english or french they just aint Gary Thorne and Bill Clement

[@blind_t2]

I just wanna watch this unfold. Who wants to pay for my ticket to baltimore? I just wanna see the o’s fans reaction when we kidnap him from camden yards. Let’s wait til this mess is over, then operation kidnap gary is under way.

Gary Thorne calling hockey in the 90s is a huge reason I love hockey!

[@BossManSays]

Same.

[@nathanbrisebois8756]

Playcallers just don't have the passion behind them anymore it seems. It's all pretty vanilla and boring. Hockey today needs more Gary Thrones and Rick Jeanerettes

[@one7decimal2eight]

Me too. The best nhl announcer ever. Sometimes I'll watch an NCAA hockey game just to hear him call the game. One year he did the Minnesota state hockey tournament.

[@Zach-mw5so]

Hockey in the 90s, early 2000s on ESPN was a great production. With Gary Thorne, and some thrilling playoffs/Finals to say the least

[@carparthero]

yah there were some cute stories, but bottom line, hockey from the mid 90's onward was and remains a cold bowl of soup compared to the 1980's til early 90's. when the nhl opened their eyes and allowed 2-line passes, then it started to get better. but the 80's remains the best.

[@carparthero]

also not to take away from thorne...a little frantic at times, but he has passion for calling the plays...and i'd take him over the antiseptic jim hughson

[@jackkeith740]

Zach N couldn’t agree more. Although hockey will never get old

[@jason-ct6uz]

Agree 💯. Nuff said

[@karenconnelly3053]

Great series back then

[@macmac3374]

The best part about Gary thorne is he is easily the most unbiased commentator in history. He always got excited when any team won.

[@matthinkel7823]

This man needs to return as play-by-play with the NHL back on ESPN. It would only be right.

[@anthonya8478]

Gary & Bill were the ultimate NHL-announcing duo!!!

Good times. Thorne was synonymous with Wings' successes. Loved watching him and Bill Clement. What made it tough was loving the announcing of Bob Cole - Harry Neale, Chris Cuthbert - Greg Millen, and finally, ESPN's #2 crew of Steve Levy and Barry Melrose. All were VERY GOOD!

This is why to this day my all-time favorite NHL play by play announcer is Gary freaking Thorne!!! He has more emotion, love, joy, and utter amazement at what happens on the ice, as well as respect for the history of the game than any one else who's called the game.
