NHL Best Commentator Calls of All Time

The best calls from announcers/commentators ever!
Thanks for watching!

[@thebestofthenhl5337]

Sorry if the quality isn't as good on some of the videos, the old clips were hard to find in decent condition. If I missed any great calls, let me know and i'll make a part 2!

[@ccorsaro73]

For the older hockey videos, it adds nostalgia to it

[@BondedByThrash_]

I got a few, and obviously I’m biased so please forgive me... 1) Jumbo Joe ends the Kings season in game 6 in OT in 2011. Randy Hahn EXPLODED, and so did I. 2) Tomas Hertl’s 2OT winner last year in game 6 at Vegas, but you gotta use Dan Rusanowsky’s call on Sharks radio if you can find it. Again, many explosions took place. Great video bro!

I was scared that “May Day, May Day” wasn’t going to be on there, but it luckily was

[@thomasleach5352]

I came to the comments just to say this.

[@Killer_01437]

@Bomanjoe same but in my opinion i think it is the best call in sports history and i think the rick jeanneret is the best nhl announcer in the world. And im not just saying that because im a sabres fan

[@jeffreycairns767]

That was the worst one of all. More irritating then anything

[@mdeezey1849]

The Paul Kariya clip gives me chills every time.

[@prezidentjeff]

Every. Time. Scarier still that Kariya doesn't remember this moment.

[@brocktaylor3629]

I was literally coming to comment this exactly lol

[@trl2828]

@@prezidentjeff - Yea, just shows you how strong of a will these players have to want to play the game of hockey. He could have just called it a game and nobody would have said a word and yet he comes out scores that goal when he should not have been playing.

[@gordanblansky7137]

Prezident Jeff scarier even that that hit knocked a couple years off his lifespan

[@TJM_PlayByPlay]

And Gary Thorne calling it makes me have goosebumps on my goosebumps. Could very well be the greatest call of all-time.

One of my favorite cup HOISTS of all time

[@logan9758]

Even bettman acknowledges that there’s someone who waited a long time to hoist this

[@Killer_01437]

I think you mean rick jeanneret, he is the only announcer to stay with a team for this long, the sabres never won a cup and they have not made the playoffs in 9 years. So i think he deserves it the most.

Gary Thorne was great. Doc Emrick has been just as good if not better

mike emrycks’ voice is just perfect for hockey commentating

[@trumanzerse1169]

The 2012-2017 era of Doc doing playoff games and in the NHL video games was such a great period of time

[@the1trueshark338]

A more recent one, but one that will live on in NY for a while is Sam Rosen's call of mika zibenijad's 5th goal in OT against the caps

[@dannythomas417]

But game 7 against John Shithouse’s Canucks means more that Joe Beninati’s Crapitals. ‘Cause game 7 is the cup finals and Mika’s 5 goal night is just the regular season.

[@ariellesmith2526]

"up the middle to Zibanejad. he goes to the net..."

[@TheMusicjuice]

The May Day goal, call, and the ensuing celebration after feels like something out of a movie

Gary Thorne is WASTING his talent in Baltimore

[@tingle8554]

As an Orioles fan I can’t complain

[@kriimson5052]

i miss him in the NHL games he was the best better than the new guy and doc was so bland no effort went into the voice acting

[@hugh2hoob668]

He was there first genius

[@kingsully8593]

Hugh Tahoob there first or not he’s still wasting a talent that needs to be heard on a much bigger scale on a much more exciting sport and team

[@tingle8554]

King Sully wdym Baltimore is the most exciting and electric mlb team duh

[@bdawk511]

One of the things I really love about hockey, when you need a good call in the playoffs you almost ALWAYS get one. There are so many brutal NFL and MLB calls but NHL calls are almost always great.

[@mathy8933]

I feel sorry for Lundqvist...

[@slovak4life1991]

Not even a little bit. If the rags fans didn’t label him “King”, maybe I’d feel a little bad.

@@EileenDover988 Randy is just so great in so many ways, I'm surprised more people around the league don't talk about him that much when they bring up top broadcasters. He's knowledgeable, entertaining, funny, classy and just straight up cool, like the kind of dude you can watch games with on the couch and just vibe over a few drinks. If only we could get Drew back though...

[@stephenresponts2935]

and as a diehard Kings fan, of course the last one is my favorite. One of the best moments of my entire life, THE STANLEY CUP!!! MARTINEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeanneret is the greatest, but one call I'll remember forever (though I can't remember who called it) is from Evgeni Malkin's playoff hat trick goal against Carolina in 09. Geno's parents were in the crowd. The announcer went bananas. KZbin it, it's great.

[@Skinnyd4]

I'm a Flyer fan, but I have to admit, Rick Jeanneret had some great, great calls, and not just "May Day," which I remember watching on TV when I was in high school. I really liked the one back in the '90s, I think it was, when Buffalo was playing Ottawa and scored a sudden death goal. The call was "Are you ready Legion of Doooom? Here come the Buffalo Sabres!"

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Another great one against the Sens was Jason Pominville's OT winner. "Jason Pominville! Short-handed! Oh now do you believe? Now do you believe? These guys are good -- scary good!"
