Donato2327 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I was on youtube last night watching some Devils clips (I felt I needed a solid cry), and I got to thinking what the best Doc Emrick calls/sayings are. I don't get the Devils on TV so I usually only hear Doc on NBC, but my favorite saying is "OHH AND HIS STICK BETRAYS (or sometimes FAILS) HIM!" On a Martin Broduer save: "OHHH HE DID THE FERRIS WHEEL!"... I love that one more because they used to play it when you walked into Continental.

NJDevs4978 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) I hope against hope they send him to do Wings-Blackhawks but they'll probably have him follow Crosby around the country. Well he might do a couple of the weekend games on NBC at least. Edited May 15, 2009 by Hasan4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevil1530 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I know this one is very old but this had to have been one of the greatest. It's the Dave Andreychuk goal against Philly in the 1998-99 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prucenterrules Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 What a shock that Odelein missed that gimme! There were quite a few misses in those 20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you're watching the same play he is, but when he's announcing it you're adrenalin just flies. I'd probably get in an accident if I were listening to this on the radio! His love for this sport just comes through like no other. Gotta love Doc-- the best in the biz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The spring semester of my super-senior year of college I was an intern at Comcast SportsNet in Philly. Any Flyers, Sixers or Phillies game that was going on live was on every TV in that newsroom. I always thought it was funny that everyone in that newsroom looked forward to the Flyers getting a national game just so they could hear Doc call the action. These are all people who not only know Jim Jackson, but would be hanging out with him in their free time. Friendships and professional relationships be damned, everyone recognizes what Doc brings to a game. I'd hear things like, "I don't even like hockey, but I love watching games that this guy calls," or "How does he do it? How does he make every little play sound so exciting?" being said all around the newsroom. Meanwhile, I'd be sitting in the corner updating the website like a good little intern, wearing my Devils hat and smiling from ear to ear. We are a lucky bunch of fans.

Donato2327 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 has to be top 5 Doc calls all time.(I still miss this goal horn and want it back.) P.S. If anyone can find the "OH HE DID THE FERRIS WHEEL" that'd be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
