1995 Stanley Cup Finals

When the New Jersey Devils won the Stanley Cup in 1995, the game was broadcast on Fox, but it was Emrick who called the win. I try to keep that information in the article. -- SNIyer12 (talk), 03:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The championship to New Jersey..." quote

SNIyer12 - I am removing this quote again from the article. It does not, in any way, define Emrick or his legacy. We never include the championship commentary by other announcers, or of Emrick on other Stanley Cup or Gold Medal championships, and this is no different. The only exception to the rule, in my mind, is those that have a broad cultural, almost legendary, significance, such as Al Michael's famous "Do you believe in Miracles" quote. See WP:QUOTE. Further, we don't use all capitals in Wikipedia; italics are used for emphasis, see WP:MOSTEXT. If you or anyone has supporting or conflicting views, please discuss them here. I don't want to get into a revert war. -Sme3 (talk) 12:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture looks a little... I don't know, big? Close-up?

I'd like to resize it but it's not my picture, so I suppose it's not kosher to do that. Not much else I can do except bring it up here. Vranak (talk) 18:40, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's my image which I have redone a bit. Centpacrr (talk) 20:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources needed

There are few sources for the honors Emrick has received. Because this is a biography of a living person, it is absolutely essential that all information in the article have reliable sources. Please do not remove tags until the sources are provided. Thanks for your help with this. 71.139.149.157 (talk) 20:21, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All refs added and tags removed. IP user "71.139.149.157" is clearly another of the over 300 anonymous sockpuppets (the IPs of which always resolve to AT&T servers in central Connecticut) of the long time community banned LTA Techwriter2B who for more than eight years has been engaging in a pattern of stalking and disruptively editing pages which other users (including myself) he/she is targeting are major contributors to. This IP has been added to his/her LTA case, but as it is dynamically generated he/she will not likely use it again. Centpacrr (talk) 21:37, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced claim

Emrick is a founding member, and still president of, the NHL Pronunciation Guide, which is used as a guide for all NHL broadcasters for some of hockey's most difficult names.

Funny, to be sure, but I can't believe this is true unless somebody's got a source of it. Also, how is a "Guide" something can be a president of? --Stacecom (talk) 13:10, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Emrick sucks what a constant mouth! Ruins every game I have watched! Turn sound down constantly! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.200.234.144 (talk) 19:11, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification on "In 2017, Sports Illustrated listed Emrick as the greatest sportscaster of all time"

The article in Sports Illustrated referenced (https://www.si.com/media/2017/10/13/ranking-play-by-play-sports-broadcasters-announcers-2017) is entitled, "The Top 25 Play-by-Play Broadcasters in Sports 2017," and names Mr. Emrick as the top play-by-play announcer working in 2017 and does not list him as the greatest of all time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.142.240 (talk) 06:00, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
