On the first day of Christmas, the NHL gave to me, champagne in the Stanley Cup
On the second day of Christmas the NHL gave to me, two first round draft picks
On the third day of Christmas the NHL gave to me, three point games
On the fourth day of Christmas the NHL gave to me, four playoff rounds
On the fifth day of Christmas the NHL gave to me, five minutes for fighting
On the sixth day of Christmas the NHL gave to me six ounces of rubber.
On the seventh day of Christmas the NHL gave to me 7 playoff games
On the eight day of Christmas the NHL gave to me eight digit salaries
On the ninth day of Christmas the NHL gave to me, nine jagged stitches
On the tenth day of Christmas the NHL gave to me, ten months of hockey
On the eleventh day of Christmas the NHL gave to me, eleven missing teeth
On the Twelfth day of Christmas the NHL gave to me twelve players skating



I dunno if you watched tonight’s game on versus, but I think those 11 missing teeth came from Darren McCarty’s mouth. Oh, and Ryan Miller may be my most hated player right now. Merry Christmas from the Leafs.
Myles,
Ha! I did watch tonights game, and we could also say On the eleventh day of christmas the NHL gave to me, 11 Versus Brain Cells….because that is about the extent of it. A good announcer/broadcaster/color analyst has a pretty decent vocabulary so they are not repeating things.
These guys on Versus repeat the same catch phrases through a 60 minute game. Next time turn down the sound on your television and turn up your simul-cast radio broadcast.
Thanks for the read and the comment.
Yea the Versus guys are so bad I actually started streaming the game online instead of watching it there half way through. I think it’s time to get the Center Ice package so I can hear Joe Bowen and the boys every night.
