Around the NHL - 2013-2014

The Flyers' radio team is fairly terrible, I've been meaning to post this for awhile. The PBP guy (Saunders) is fairly good at describing the play, but his trademark goal call is to let out a falsetto "GOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!".

 

I've never heard anything but his goal calls, but yes, he assaults my ears. Your link wasn't anywhere near as bad though. He usually gets to a much higher pitch than that. He also does one other thing that I hear from time to time with a few announcers. He will refer to a goal as "a score"... something along the lines of "and that was a score by Giroux". That one drives me crazy. Score should only be used as a verb, not a noun.

I actually like this hiring. Nashville I think could benefit from Laviolette's style. Not sure exactly how his defense will run with it but Nashville is one of those teams I can't help but hope get better.

 

Nashville better get some forwards, because right now they don't have the horses to do what Laviolette is likely to ask them to.

Anyone notice that the Blues jettisoned their goalie coach today? Him and Miller not compatible?

 

Huh. Maybe the sign of a long-term deal with Miller? Especially now that Corsi's out with Buffalo, Corsi could be headed to St Louis too.

 

Or maybe just Hitchcock shuffling guys around for his extension.
