Pat Foley's FOUR Most Memorable Calls [Read & Watch]
On Thursday, Pat Foley will be calling his final game as the Blackhawks' play-by-play announcer after doing so for a total of 39 years. Although not on television full-time until 2008 due to disputes with the Wirtz family, Foley quickly became the voice of the the Chicago Blackhawks.
Foley is a particularly no-nonsense man, and he never fails to let it show on the ice. I may be biased, but he has consistently been atop the mountain of play-by-play broadcasters over the years. It's safe to say that filling his shoes will be a tall task. But for tonight, let's celebrate and remember some of his finest and most outrageous calls. Best of luck in retirement to a larger than life Blackhawks personality.
FOUR of Pat Foley's Best Calls:
1. (Obvious) Toews OT GWG in First Round vs. STL — Game 5 — 2014
2. Murray Bannerman — 1985 — This goes to show, Foley has changed very little over the years, and it was for the best!
3. Alexander Karpovtsev — This is the most savage roast of a player by an announcer in history, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
4. "Hat-Trick Kane!" "Savoir Faire!" — This is a personal favorite from a blowout game against the Stars. No one can combine "Spin-o-rama" and "savoir faire" in the same call—except for Pat. Unreal sportscasting talent.
