Doc Emrick Calls 3,000th Professional Game Monday Night

Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick has been the voice of just about every major hockey event in the last thirty years. From the Olympics to the Winter Classic to the Stanley Cup Finals to the run-of-the-mill regular season game, Emrick has called them all. Your memories of some of these events no doubt have his voice attached to them.

↵On Monday night, Doc called his 3,000th career professional hockey game, one of those run-of-the-mill regular season contests between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings. Of the many Doc-isms in the broadcast:

  • ↵↵finesse it along the boards
  • ↵waffleboarded away by Fleury
  • ↵gets lost in the paraphernalia of Howard
  • ↵off the pipe with the shawwwwwt!
  • ↵the Swedish-born defenseman
  • ↵he pitchforks it down the ice
  • ↵SCOOOOOWRE!
