Bruins Centennial Who is the best RADIO play-by-play announcer in Bruins history?

[mikelvl]

Bob Wilson is an all timer. Dave Goucher is right behind him.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

When I was a kid my family moved from Boston to Cape Breton. At night I could get Bruins games on the radio ( sometimes the reception wasn’t clear ) . Bob Wilson and Johnny Bucyk were all I had except for the occasional Bruins games we got on CBC .

Bob Wilson was the voice of my youth and he was great.

I only know Bob Wilson by reputation, but given the regard long time Bruins fans have for him, Wilson got my vote.

I liked Neumie and really, really liked Dave.

But, you can't turn back the clock. Glad he's happy in Vegas.

Forgot Bucyk did radio.

You make me barf, sir.

Lobel, *maybe.*

Ordway is a and a no nothing fool.

Now I know where the bad karma of the 90s came from.

Oink oink, fatty.

When You reach hell, give Andleman the finger for me.

How do you really feel about Ordway?

No need to clone.

AI’s got you covered.

They’re already using it for James Earl Jones with Darth Vader. He sounded better in the Obi Wan series using AI than he did in Rogue One as the genuine article.

How do you really feel about Ordway?

I'm sort of indifferent.

Glad to see Bob Wilson getting some love here.
Where's good ol' Dave Shea (not that he's missed) ?
Funny story, I was working for someone in Arlington (IIRC) and
this older guy "Bob" came by to talk with the new neighbor.

She talked to him for a while in front of her house as I waited patiently at my work vehicle about a hundred feet away, shaking my head thinking how they were wasting my time.
She said "sorry" he's kind of a celebrity around here,
he used to work in radio, his name is Bob."
I was kicking myself for months after because I missed the chance to meet him
and tell him what his game calling meant to me.
