Doc Emrick calling the hockey action

Doc calls an exciting hockey game here. 
I digress...
I used to be really good at this game, having got one for Christmas when I was really young (mine didn't have the plastic bubble over the ice). As you might guess, I trashed talked my opponents, at the same time I was scoring on them. I considered it psychological warfare. I got one guy so mad at me because I was abusing him both verbally and in the game itself that after I scored on him and raised my fists in triumph, he got up, threw the game --- MY game --- on the floor, and started stomping on it. After he totally destroyed it, he threw it out the third floor dorm window. My treasured table hockey game that I had for years was now trash.
But knowing that I just totally broke this big dude's spirit, I just walked away laughing with my hands in the air.
Recently that story was fondly remembered and retold at a reunion 43 years later.
Maybe I should have not talked so much and shook hands like these guys in this video, and I'd still have that game.
Naaaah.

Hah...while watching the Stanley Cup finale, I saw this. Too funny.
I think Doc is one of the best out there. I love when he calls a game.
Man...what a sore loser your friend was...although maybe you should have curtailed your 'haha, I won and you lost' just a little bit! lol

Did I say he was my "friend"?
ALL opponents must be crushed.
After I defeated the big hulk I should have said,
"Is there no one else?"
Just like Brad.

Well, he was kinda my friend.
But once competition starts, all friendship goes out the window, ya know.
