for those of you who watch a lot of hockey how do you feel about him? i used to really dislike him a lot. some of the phrases he uses such as 'knifing the puck along' really fucking annoyed me. but lately hes been growing on me. he certainly gets into it and seems genuinely excited about the games he calls.

thoughts? opinions? does anyone care? is this a repost? are these questions rhetorical?

depends on your feet really. ccm never really agreed with my feet. i have really high arches and narrow feet. my brother on the other hand always got ccms. id say make sure you try them both on before you buy and see which feels better

He's better than Pierre McGuire. I'll leave it at that

Pierre sucks.

Doc is the best in the biz. It'll be a shame when he stops calling games.

pierre was a guest on a podcast I listen to and he doesn't seem to bad at all. a little weird in interviews but i dont mind him that much. mike milbury on the other hand, I dont have any clue why he has a job with anyone. dudes a fucking idiot.

docs pretty great though. his "SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR" is pretty notorious to both the league, and devils fans. if i had a choice, id probably settle with either bob cole, gord miller, or my boys ken and mick on fox sports detroit.

Knifed up, punched out, canceled out, popped up.......The guy says some odd stuff. I think he has a miniature doll of Brodeur that he keeps in his night stand.

pierre is a pretty big idiot. he thought owen nolan was the coach of latvia. when i heard that i just... no words

however, he is not NEARLY as much of an idiot as milbury (dont think anyone is). milbury is offensively idiotic. it actually makes me angry hearing him talk

Doc's great because I can leave the room to go make some food or poop and as long as I can hear the TV I'll know exactly what's happening. He basically does a radio broadcast on TV, it's a little much after a while but overall I enjoy the dude
