I have an attachment to him from the cup years and I’m 100% on board with him never doing another game

Listen I feel your pain we have goring babbling on like a moron half of the game. As for the rangers they have a lot of talent but remind me of Toronto in that they don't have enough sandpaper in their lineup and don't do well in a physical game. Tampa was like that until Coleman and goodrow join last year.

Speaking of announcers here's a rating they are doing

You should be able to rate them separately. Burke is great, but Butch is hard to listen to. We haven't had a good color commentator since Jaffe. I'd still take Butch over Micheletti. Micheletti is horrible.

AJ is intelligent, insightful, and well-spoken

Butch is a drunken buffoon who signs checks with a crayon

Butch is horrible, but I'll admit he's kind of grown on me over the years.

I remember Brendan did a national broadcast with Pierre on color commentary and it was the most awkward broadcast I've ever heard. I appreciated Butch a little more after that, and during the next Isles game, you could almost hear the relief in Brendan's voice when he said, "Good to have you back" to Butch

It's usually more fun to watch hockey with drunken buffoons.

Jaffe was awesome. Michiletti I cannot stand. Disliked him when he was with us. I think it’s incredible that he played he knows nothing about the game.

How so? I'm curious because Burke and AJ are the only ones I can listen to. Shannon needs to stop jamming anything with sugar on it down her throat and Butchie is Butchie.

I mean, I'm not criticizing him for liking Butch...that's fine. But I think AJ is so much better.

Same here. His honesty was what got him the axe. Wang heard his critique of the team and made a phone call. Liked Billy.

The (frank) she does.

The more of her there is to love, the better.

I like to imagine making love to her in UBS arena atop a pile of game worn Lee jerseys strewn about center ice.
