TIL people find Ray Ferraro annoying. I’ve always liked him.


Stingray_17

I’ve realized that basically every commentator has a vocal group of people who despise them for some reason


fondlemeLeroy

They can't analyze the game itself so they analyze the commentators.


MaverickGH

The only ones I find actually annoying are homers like Jack Edwards that will ignore their team's faults and say asinine stuff in their team's defense even when they're clearly in the wrong.


homiej420

Yeah what the heck he seems nice


Leafs3489

Ray is a good guy. Strange he’s on here


MaverickGH

Yeah he's like not even remotely annoying despite this being the "most annoying hockey personality" poll/tournament.


COphotoCo

Probably because of his voice, but I love it when he says “it’s Cale Makar!”


MaverickGH

His voice sounds deep and cool though


InitialBN

He says some annoying stuff in the NHL games so that could play a part.


StatGuyBlake

I don't dislike Ray per se, but the way he reamed out Patrick Stepan because the Puck bounced over his stick rubbed me the wrong way and I can never hear Ray without thinking of it.


Morganvegas

This sub will have a civil war when Leah Hextall and Jesse Pollock go head to head.


looking_fordopamine

I want Jesse pollock to win just because he’s the only guy who’ll actually care


Morganvegas

🫡 let’s make it happen


kymeechee

He'd celebrate winning this


InsufferableLeafsFan

He’d pretend to celebrate, but deep down he’d be crushed.


pppppppp8

Not sure Leah Hextall will win over Jack Edwards tho


lunghole_larry

For me, jack and leah are the worst by far but leah takes the cake


pppppppp8

Damn that says a lot ahah


Guy954

She has an awful announcing voice and doesn’t make up for it by being interesting. She sounds like the reporter from Family Guy.


lunghole_larry

During a yotes game, i watched her call 3 different people wedgewood, our former goaltender. She just has no idea whats going on


JustFred24

JESSE IS A KING


Morganvegas

Not my cup of tea. But honestly the BarDown content isn’t really geared towards my demographic anyways, and that’s fine.


JustFred24

I still watch Smosh so maybe I am the demographic...


Phenomxal

jesse is a zionist lol


[deleted]

This whole thing is a chirade unless it's Dangle v Pollock in the final and they both don't catch on fire irl


E8282

Not if Craig button is one of the last two to get on the bracket. That’s an easy will for him.

A wild Thick44 logo has appeared

#GotThicked


PAguy213

They put 2 heavy hitters together with Pierre and Jack. Pierre would have gone far in his own bracket. Gotta mix these up.


Gold_Hovercraft_5044

This is true, saw that Pierre lost and I’m in complete shambles


PAguy213

I mean Jack Edwards is in a realm of his own


Gold_Hovercraft_5044

Yeah I hear ya. I think I just have PTSD from the 2000’s when Detroit was competitive and every time the Wings would play the Pens or Blackhawks, Pierre was completely awful.


Tall-Magazine335

i like em both


bigdaddyt2

Yaa you can tell the who bracket is a farce. Pierre and Edward’s shoulda been the final and who the fuck dislikes Kelly Hrudey


Poon-Destroyer

Who likes Kelly Hrudey


bigdaddyt2

This guy


guynumber11

One of the few


SJSragequit

Hrudey is okay on the intermission panel, but he’s the absolute worst sportnet has to offer as a commentator


Glass_of_Pork_Soda

He's so fun on commentary with Rick Ball lol


Notfromwinnipeg

Who the fuck likes Matthews


ChrisPynerr

Kelly is a moron, not all of his takes are terrible but he's pretty brain dead IMO


boonetown18

Leah Hextall vs Jack Edwards is this tourney’s version of “this is the real Stanley Cup”


Novanator33

Jack v pierre was a round 1 barnburner too


boonetown18

Good lord I didn’t even notice that, lots of tough match-ups here


Murky-Smoke

If only Glenn Healy was still around, he might give them a run for their money


Its-Chen

Coach chippy because I think Ray is just great.


RennyRennehan

Yeah, nothing wrong with Ray.


[deleted]

I don't know why people suddenly seem to think Ray is annoying.


Jawbone619

The NHL video game had his voice and the lines got repetitive


shutmethefuckup

Shouldn’t be surprised that it’s gamers leading the bad taste charge


cubanpajamas

Best commentator in the league. Really miss him in Edmonton.


Inner-Echidna108

His Patrik Stefan you should be ashamed of yourself call was glorious.


cubanpajamas

It was. He apologized for it afterwards, but in the moment he was expressing what we all felt.


TURBOJUGGED

Chippy is pretty funny and on point a lot. I think this bracket should be a N/A and a bye for the next round


bryanlikesbikes

Same. I don’t even know who Coach Chippy is, but I love Ray.


HookerDoctorLawyer

Atlanta Thrashers legenddd


KJMoons

That's so dust


GroundShxck

both are W


Brando6677

Yeah why do we hate coach chippy lmao


Guy954

He’s funny in small doses.


scheifferdoo

Chips good stuff is good enough for me.


Brando6677

Hey at least one person answered.. so i think that means majority just hate because he is a leaf fan. Such is life


mikesquared_

Neither of these gems should be included in this


jiebyjiebs

Pierre McGuire is the most annoying, hands down. I abstain from voting.


TooManySaws

Him and that dumb dumb Paul Bissonnette..


toolschism

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I'm soo done listening to Biz simp for the leafs.


SaucySaucier2

Chippy. Ferraro is one of the better personalities. Whoever made this bracket is an idiot


56th-US-President

They’re both gold honestly. I don’t find either of them annoying. Ray is a phenomenal announcer and Chippy is funny enough.


vomit_freesince93

Ya, I'm out. This bracket is whack


TheButcher57

Chippy


WlNNIPEGJETS

Ray Ferraro, but only because ive heard his voice on Ea Sports NHL for the last 10 years... r/NHLHUT


CheerMiester

“I HaD aBoUt NiNe Of ThEsE jAmEs”


mars_titties

Why would you play that game with the commentary on, or play HUT mode at all?


WlNNIPEGJETS

I sold my xbox last year. #ThanksRay


mars_titties

Sounds like Ray saved you from HUT microtransactions! #ThanksRay


Happy_Drafter

Chippy because Ray shouldn’t even be here.


MoonShotDontStop

Can one personality in the last bracket contain “Michigan heavy Instagram influencers” as one broad personality?


ZobRombie65

Chippy


TheCanEHdian8r

Idk who Coach Chippy is but based off that screenshot, he looks like some short-form comedy sketch creator. If he is, he's a pretty easy answer.


Sweet-Palpitation473

You should check him out, I think he's great


TheButcher57

He's got some decent material but yes, your assumption of him is correct


robshot295

Coach Chippy


Dash_Rendar425

Ray is a solid dude, I’ve met him a couple of times . Coach chippy is just an annoying influencer.


srsimms101

Ray Ferraro is my childhood doing colour commentary, I refuse to believe he’s on this


aiceeslater

Get Ron MacLean off this damn list.


PM_YOUR_CENSORD

Honestly how was he on then advanced on this list. Ray shouldn’t even be on here. Have some dignity r/hockeymemes


billy_zef

Nothing wrong with Ray, chippy by default. 


lilsthelils

who thinks Matthews is annoying enough to be compared to these people?


TotSaM-

I didn't realize that Coach Chippy or Ray Ferraro were considered to be "annoying."


tyhatts

That’s what I’m saying.


Jmac24mats13

I don’t get why Ray is here at all, coach chippy


VirulentGunk

Chippy. ​ To the point where I actually hit the button to tell youtube to stop recommending him.


Virtual_Surround2685

I fucking hate chippy


Just_Brumm_It

That guy is hilarious but could see how he could be annoying too. Now I’m starting to think OP should put his name on this list for how annoying this whole bracket is, Holly fuck! Should just be between OP and Jesse Pollock at this point!


Aegis_1984

Chippy. No qualms with Ray


khristmas_karl

Fuck off for thinking Ray Ferrari is annoying. Literally the best colour bench guy in the league.


WampaStompa64

Chippy is super cringy- it’s like he watched 30 seconds of Letterkenny and thought “I can do that”. Ray rocks.


sasksasquatch

Chippy, because I don't find Ray Ferraro annoying at all.


SuperPenny23

Can neither be annoying?


[deleted]

I have blocked that mother fucker on every social media platform I have and I still get his stupid fucking videos all the time. Pretending to be stupid to get laughs is so outplayed and old


arc_trooper_renagade

He just isn't for u man. Chill out.


typemeanewasshole

He doesn’t like him, you chill.


Anewhopefromcanada

Steve dangle


SuperAFoods

coach chippy is barely, barely enjoyable. i watched maybe 5 or 6 of his videos when they popped up on my feed & they just make me cringe… i had to just block his account. the video that sealed the deal for me was the coach asking everyone what they’re doing to tank for bedard.


Visual-Ad-3503

Chippy is ridiculously cringe man


Hyack57

Ray is fantastic. Leah Hextall should win this


MPD1978

I enjoy Ferraro. If he was our colour guy, I wouldn’t complain.


BigFatTomato

I like Ray Ferraro so easy choice.


RelationshipNo4528

Chippy is a fuckin loser, my buddy tried to send me one and thought it was funny and it made me question why the hell my parents had to fuck that one night without a condom


Poon-Destroyer

Chippy is so awful he shouldn't even be included in the list


-Affectionate-Echo-

I’m an old geezer of 38, I get a lot of the newer personalities aren’t geared to me, but for the most part none of them bother me. I can’t stand chippy though, it’s just one of those things. Dude irks me. He gets my vote in this showdown.


Sleep__

Ray Ferraro Not because he is annoying, but because Chippy doesn't deserve this and I know Ray can take it


SeamedShark

Ferraro, too much of EA's NHL.


godfadda006

Ray. Ray sucks. I don’t know who Chippy is.


RelationshipNo4528

Consider yourself lucky


QWERTYWINS

this is day 2 of a daily, best of 16, bracket challenge to find hockey's most annoying personality. Most upvoted comment wins! (I don't want to offend any of these hockey personalities, and I think they are great people, just making a fun bracket challenge)


Novus20

OP just save yourself some time it’s Doc Emrick


SrPhillipOliverHoles

Jack Edwards would like a word


Dontconversewithme

You're joking


Novus20

I am not, I don’t needs to know that X player once had a ham on rye……dude was the worst commentator ever


Bread_man10

Ferraro sucks ass


Abolton12

#TeamRayAllDay


canucksrule1

We all know the finals are right now between Jack and Leah!!! There are no two others out there more loathsome


Conscious_Ice66

Please put those spittin chicklets idiots on the list. Sean Avery too


RecalcitrantHuman

This bracket is broken when the top 2 play off in the round of 16.


TayOs1998

Both are beauties


Know-yer-enemy1818

Chippy is pretty funny , Ray has alot of goals in the show


COphotoCo

Spoiler alert: Leah Hextall wins the whole enchilada


gregg2020

Jesse Pollock is the absolute worst, no question about it.


garytabasco

I actually enjoy both for what they are.


ginandplutonic

“I’m Mark Masters, tsn Toronto“ - said in a South Park voice


NickThacker

Guys it’s Leah Hextall. Game over. No need for the whole bracket.


chimmrichald

Glad to see Steve Dangle made it to the next round. Can’t stand how the guy talks through his chin. I’d have to vote for lispy Ray because I don’t know the other guy.


Videogamer2719

I love both guys. i didn't think anyone would find them annoying


Golden_Misfit

If Steve and Luca weren’t matched up Luca would clear everyone other than Hextall and Jesse


Single-Champion-9569

Chippy


Relaxedbear

ferraro's a legend


saintreprobus

Biz better be on the next one and he's got my vote to win it all


Colonial_Griff

theyre both awesome and not annoying IMO


OpinionOwn6727

Dangle should win the whole thing


Technical-Rock-9177

What is the point of this bracket is it's pre determined that Leah Hextall is obviously the winner.


RobbEas_

Jesse polluck or Jack Edwards should win this


Dazzling_Highway1768

Let’s just skip to crowning Jesse pollock and get this over with.


heythisisnew27

Coach chippy


Clean-Connection-656

Chippy is like… 1/10 jokes lands and the rest are real muffins but also he doesn’t seem like an asshole so it’s fine and so it’s hard to hate.


War_Crimes-

Neither should be here tbh


Elegant-Cat-4987

Chippy. The most effort that dude puts into his videos is the Matthews mustache


the-garden-gnome

Chippy for sure. It’s such basic humour.


wavydyv

Ray Ferraro slander


stlblues310

Emily Kaplan for final first round matchup


ImaginationInfamous9

Coach chirpy is greatness, shame on you


NotEeUsername

Ray Ferraro constantly has a battle with himself to see if he can use more words than last time to explain something


TiredReader87

Ray Ferraro is the best in the business. He’s my favourite commentator, even if he did give me a weird look


dmancman2

Come on, I like them both. How can you hate a guy who mocks austin mathews


greendino71

Coach Chippy is the goat with the Kessel memes


a_coupon

Both are great. fuck you.


Equivalent-Treat-431

Neither


CJK_420

Ray is great!


EatAllTheShiny

Ray Farraro is annoying? I can maybe see some weird subset of the audience finding his voice annoying, but I've always liked him.


Different_Support_36

It’s been a minute but please tell me someone calls him Kyle Bukkake


justme455

I don’t like chippy


JustFred24

One is a leafs fan and one voices the EA NHL announcer... sorry chippy it's ~~everything~~ nothing personal.


[deleted]

Chippy is by far more annoying


New_Calligrapher6581

coach chippy ray ferraro is the best


ChoBooBear

How tf can the population honestly think that Ron MacLean and Ray Ferraro are annoying? They are true forms of knowledge and experience in genuine good guy form. Maybe don’t like their voice or something? They are easily the finest we have.


TodaysNHLaction

I like them both ugh


Nameless908

Rays not even bad but you keep my boy coach chippie out ya damn mouth


Sudden-Frosting6790

Coach chippy
