As someone who's from the new England area, I can't stand jack Edwards. Even if a player from the other team makes a good play or something, he can't give any credit to that team. Also, if a play is dirty and it's against the Bruins, it's always a harsh call, but if it's against the other team, it's always a good call

I absolutely LOVE JK and Panger on our local STL broadcasts, Panger is simply a local treasure here in St Louis - he's probably as well known as guys like Tim McCarver and Joe Buck (baseball guys) and his "holy jumpin", "the old nine o' hearts", "thanks for comin" never get old. I cannot stand Mike Millbury. I agree with everything you said about him - he sounds dull like he couldn't care less about what he's doing. Whenever the Blues are on NBC I just pray it's Doc Emrick, although I don't mind John Forslund or Kenny Albert either. I always in the past would hope for Doc to call our games cause we'd get Olczyk too, but with him having cancer this year we've gotten a lot of Millbury. And NBC can do better than Pierre Mcgwire, but I'd rather have him do national games so we can keep Panger. Panger is great on national games but when he's doing Blues telecasts, HOLY JUMPIN he's the most colorful person interview he world.

Just coming across this video now and I agree with you about Edwards. He has a ton of natural talent as an announcer. But as a play-by-play guy, even for a local team, you can't be that big of a homer and be taken seriously. I've learned that the hard way when I was in school and early on in my career as a broadcaster. A color guy can get away with some bias, a play-by-play guy cannot.

Oh Shannon, I loved your comment about Bob Cole. It struck a bell with me and I agree totally. BUT I wish I could steal your words and insert the name Danny Gallivan. He was the voice of my youth. He was the hockey voice to me.The voice that still suddenly pops into my head while watching a game. When they run old clips to highlight some past series and I hear his voice it gives me chills. Sadly, here in Canada we don’t get to hear many of the other voices from the States because they simply are not heard.

For me Shannon growing up outside of Philadelphia especially in the early to mid 70s the only announcer for me was Gene Hart and I am not even a Flyers fan. He taught everyone in this area how to Love Hockey. His closing remark after every broadcast was, "Good night and Good Hockey". He died in 1999 and I still miss him. He was a homer but he very much appreciated greatness from other teams especially Boston, the Islanders and the Canadiens.

Wow man I love your unbiased opinions and that doesn't change, but I appreciate you saying Rick Jeanneret wasn't on the list early so I didn't have to watch the entire video. Rick is by far the greatest Hockey announcer and arguably the best Sports announcer of all time and it's not even close. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but if you're going to argue me based off of bias and fandom, know this - I became a Sabres fan because of this man many years ago, I didn't just latch on to liking him because I'm a Sabres fan. Also note I don't like Dan Dunleavy at all.

Edwards is very funny. Heard him make a mistake or say something wrong and he says "any aspiring announcers send your applications to nesn" or something like that.

Emrick’s memory of hockey is insane. He can remember goal celebrations from a Ft. Wayne Comet player from the early 70s.

My top three Play by Play guys are, 3. Fred Cusick,, 2. Danny Gallivan, 1. Bill Hewitt, My three favorite Color guys are, 3. Johnny Pierson, 2. Brian McFarland, 1, Bob Goldham. These guys were Classic and Iconic, McFarland was always gentlemanly, never really condescending and would tell anecdotes, Goldham you always learned something, and he had a great sense of humor, Johnny Pierson was always slightly bias, but he always praised players when they made a Fine play, he wasn't condescending either. I love Hewitt, because he was crisp on the Play by play, he wasn't biased, and he talked with his color men, Gallivan, never can watch a Canadiens game without hearing Danny go through my head, "'And he let go a Cannonading Drive, but Bower Stopped it Magnificently!'", like a verbal poet behind the Microphone. Fred Cusick, always a great play by play man, always partial to the bruins but willing to hand out praise to Opposing Players, I can still hear him say, "'Score! Bobby Orr!'" whenever Orr would score.
