Seriously, hasn't Gary Thorne done play by play for games on Versus for a few years? For the love of Chri$t our savior, is there a reason he can't pronounce Michael Delzotto's and Brandon Prust's last names correctly?

Actually, Thorne hasn't called NHL hockey since it was on ESPN. He did cover the junior championships though.

I could've sworn he did a Ranger game on Versus this season. Maybe it has been a long time though. It really bugs me though. Love the game aside from that and the goofy trading AI though.

Gary Thorne's play-by-play is horrible, in the game and in real life.

There's worse. Although I'd vote for a change to Mike Emrich for the next installment.

BleacherCreature · 02-02-2011, 06:47 PM

Yeah he would be a great addition to the game.
Thorne and Clement are getting a bit stale, although I have to agree there are worse than Thorne.
Joe Bedinati (Caps and Versus announcer) pops into my head on that one.

While personally, I still really like Gary and Bill in the game.

But to have a new announcing team would be sorta welcome. Just this alone, would add a fresh feel to NHL. I wish that Dr. Emerick would find his way into the game.

The names in the game that arent pronounced properly are just atrocious and ive given up trying to talk about it. A new team is the BEST possible action, the others are ok but they are stale, boring, same old sayings every year, and it does NOT flow at all with the game. Id like to see maybe:

Joe Bowen
Bob Cole
Richard "Rick" Jeanneret
Harry Neil
Randy Hahn
Jim Hughson (NHL 98 was awesome)
the guy that i think does the NJ games and most of the playoff games on american channels.
