No, he is not and I've never heard Doc to hate on the Flyers during a broadcast.

Edzo, on the other hand.....eff that guy.

- johndewar



can't stand doc. listening to him call devils/flyers for years will make you think he doesn't love the flyers. people who didn't have to listen to those feeds disagree.

cannot. stand. him.

another team scores in OT it's "OOHHHH AAAGHHH WOWWWW"... flyers score in OT it's "the puck somehow bounced into the net"

Just please no Emerick (Flyers HATER) or Pierre McGuire (No words needed)
- GOA88


Yup, Doc is such a Flyers hater that he was a driving force behind the HHOF selection committee finally putting in Mark Howe and Fred Shero.

Also, Emrick has many fond memories of his years as a Flyers broadcaster.

Rinaldo is a wannabe goon. Terrible hockey player. Terrible fighter. Can't hit worth poop. I'm not worried about him at all.

About as much as you watch Zuccarello apparently.
- rangerdanger94


Zuccarello is a good player, but he's nowhere near the "elite" playmakers. Heck, MSL is better than he is.

And there's zero chance he's toning it down to NOT come off as a Flyers' homer? You know, since he was a Flyers' announcer for all those years and remains close to the Flyers' organization.

We were getting too buddy buddy up until that point. I was getting uncomfortable

- jmatchett383

Yes, MSL is better than Zuccarello. MSL, when he's on AKA right up until he got traded to the Rangers ( ) is a top 20 or even top 10 player in the league.

Zuccarello isn't an elite player. Giroux, Crosby, Toews, etc. are elite players. They're elite players because every aspect of their game is elite. Zuccarello does have elite passing skills though, and if you say otherwise, you're just making assumptions because you don't watch him every night.

have to think emery is pumped for this opportunity

i'm sure he wondered if he'd ever get another chance in the playoffs again

- -davies-

Good point. Imagine where his head was in 2010 watching the team.

Those were the days when he would say, "DRIVE!" and we'd break into the theme song from Hardcastle & McCormick.

He hated the paper they used to print their checks with. Irritated his fingers and caused such abrasive PbP calls against Philly ever since.

I'm sure he's a great guy, but the tone and timbre of his voice is really grating to me.

All I'm gonna say is that the last time these 2 teams played, I spent the better part of the day leading up to the game in here telling you guys that McDonagh is an elite player and will be in the Norris conversation and about 85% of the fans in here all laughed and said McDonagh isn't elite yet and that he's only really good and that putting him in the Norris conversation is ridiculous....

and then this gem happened:


and now this:

You've been warned

I'm off to do real life things. Gonna be a heck of a game tonight and a heck of a series.
