Doc Emrick used to be their announcer, no? So they’ve have good ones until recently.

by Aliceanna on Mar 2, 2012 7:32 PM EST up reply actions  

Emrick being the Devils tv announcer seemed so out of place. Anyway he’s overrated. Gary Thorne should be the number one hockey pxp man, but he doesn’t work for NBC.
