Mike Emrick and Eddie Olczyck are both American.
The Poojer Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 i don't know about your questions, but i commented on how hard it must be to be a hockey play by play, and how the guy last night did an outstanding job. i was very impressed, but i am not a hockey fan so i do not know if that was the norm

A total class act in virtually every way.
KD in CA Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Doc is one of the very best ever at what he does. A total class act in virtually every way. No doubt. Even Al Michaels was quoted saying he wasn't one tenth as good as Emrick. The guy almost never misses a name. Amazing in a tourney like this when all the players have changed teams.
John Adams Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 1. Were the announcers last night the VS announcers?2. Are they Canadian 3. Did it sound to you like they were saying 'American' like it was a dirty word? I found Doc to be, if anything, biased to the Americans...which I was happy to be part of. They highlighted all those nice plays by Americans getting back on defense but rarely showed the total dominance of Canada in the zone. Besides when the US had power plays, it was a Canadian man advantage all night long. Makes the win pretty sweet though. The play-by-play was off the charts fantastic...noting colleges, birth places, teams, teammates, juniors, etc. all in the middle of end-to-end no commercial action.
