Randy Moller is the radio announcer for the Florida Panthers. In the tradition of Jack Brickhouse's "Hey Hey", and Harry Caray's "Holy Cow", Moller, tends
to get exuberant.
Best to minimize and listen like it was a radio broadcast the first time, then look at the video if you have missed any of the pop culture references.

I'm not going to lie, I laughed at every one of these.
A little too heavy on the Will Farrell/Vince Vaughn references, but by the time the video got to Kool Mo Dee, I was laughing pretty hard.

This does re-emphasize my point that, to my non-hockey fan eyes, every goal looks like a miracle, and should be celebrated as such.

Finally, I somehow need to incorporate these saying into my lovemaking.

start with "He shoots....he scores!!!!" I would leave out the "LA face with an Oakland booty." When you get to being blinded by science...well..Flickr and all. America wants to know.

Call me an old fogey, but no play by play guy will ever beat Chick Hearn, the Lakers' voice for over 40 years. He did not quote Pop Culture references, he created them, coining such phrases as...
"Slam dunk!" (yep, he was the first to say it, for Wilt Chamberlain, who was one of the first dunkers)
"faked into the popcorn machine"
"the mustard came off of the hot dog"
"caught with his hand in the cookie jar"
"The Charity Stripe" (free-throw line)
"The Leapin' Lena" (awkward jump shot)
"throws up a brick" (NOT a vomit reference)
"left to right (or right to left) across your dial" (for the radio audience)
and
"This game's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'!" (because when one team has an insurmountable lead, you have to do something to keep the audience's interest... the refrigerator reference had many variations, but that's the most familiar)

I hate hockey but that was fuckin' funny I assume he's making these references when they're relevant, correct?
My fave was, "I had lunch with McCauley a half hour ago!" I lol'd.

The minute he says "Boom goes the dynamite," the world will meta itself into a pretzel.

You may also want to skip "That, my friend, is how you get pinkeye."

"Run, Forest, Run!" made me laugh out loud. At that point you know he's just messing with us, sort of like David Letterman's weatherman days.

Like the time the weather map was screwed up and no longer showed a border between Indiana and Ohio, and instead of doing the forecast, announced the invasion by Ohio?

fantastic! I go to hockey games and yell at the goalie. "Your mom drives an SUV because she's environmentally insensitive" is one of my faves. Most of my calls don't really make a lot of sense. I love yelling.

whereas Brickhouse and Carey's calls seem to emanate from within the men's raison d'etre, Moller's calls, while exuberant and funny, seem forced.
Double Yoi!
