    Worst Play by Play announcers

    I can't stand Jack Edwards doing the Bruins games....is there really anybody worse?

    I know there are some bad ones in the southern U.S. but don't know the names. I used to really think Randy Hahn of the Sharks was a big homer but he's improved quite a bit...

        I personally enjoy John Forslund & Tripp Tracy doing the Hurricanes telecasts.

        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

          You can thank Drew for that. What I like about Drew his he calls it like it is! Bad or good.

            TSO nailed it with his two picks: Jack Edwards and Tripp Tracy are two of the worst. I don't think anyone tops Edwards, though. He is BRUTAL.

            Take care,

              I hate Edwards. I can't watch Bruins games because of it. Though they do have a nice HD Channel, but he gets me sick. The Wings and Pens are big homers too. Randy was bad too until Drew got a hold of him!

                Having Center Ice I don't really know who I like. I like Randy and Drew, but I am getting sick of them too.

                  Dude got the gig once JP Dellacamera went full time soccer guy for ESPN. Used to be just a fill in and that was bad enough.

                    Bob Cole.

                    He used to be good. Now he barely knows what's going on half the time. And, just my luck, he always does Canadiens games on HNIC. Some nights I get so sick of him I switch to the French broadcast even though I only understand about half of what's being said.

                          the sabres play by play guy (on tv) is solid IMO. makes it very entertaining to watch them play.

                            No. Absolutely not.

                            RJ belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame. He's the last "old-school" Foster Hewitt-styled commentator around. He brings a level of excitement and pageantry to the game that far outshines the sterile, by-the-books announcers we hear on National (American) TV and in non-traditional hockey markets across the country. Heck, most of the announcers in the world sound exactly like Rick. Ever heard a European or South American soccer announcer after a goal? Same thing.

                            Of course, this is a loyal Sabre fan's perspective and I know there's a difference of opinion around the league.

                            Rick is like CBS's Gus Johnson in that you love him if your team is the team that makes the big play (in RJ's case, the Sabres) and you hate him when your team is on the receiving end.
