what's your favourite Jack Michaels one liner?

What can you saAAAy

That voice crack! 🤣

I was watching the game a little while ago, it was the 1 year anniversary and he’s like “That was the day mcDavid turned me into an adolescent, my voice hasn’t cracked for years.”

Came here to say this.

Classic call for a classic play

https://youtu.be/laNRPAjKQsM

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE PLEASURE WAS AAALLLLL OURS!!”

My favorite ending to a win!

Pulsating hockey

COMING DOWN THE STRETCH

“ONTHEOILERS…………radio network”

This brings me back to when I worked at DQ in high school. He definitely made being stuck with a 4-close on game night a lot better.

Mmmm I felt this.

I used to over exaggerate how fast he says OILERS.

I like when he randomly brings up wrestling

Favorite phrase is "bulge the twine" but any game he says "down the stretch" and "pulsating hockey" is great too he has some classics

Missed it by an EYELASH!

Or whisker.

I’m waiting for the day he chooses “pubic hair” for the adjective

Gesticulating

Lol I lost it at this

“THE OILERS X, THE opponent Y, INNN OOOOOOOOOOOVERTIIIIMME!”

You could have saved a variable, Oilers x, opponent x-1, in ooovertime!

When McDavid McDavid’s and he says “What can you say!”

Whenever he says down the stretch my heart rate instantly increases

"And here come the oilers"

Recently, been a big fan of his SpecSavers ad reads, but hockey-wise, can’t go wrong with “pulsating.” “Jitterbugs” is a classic too.

couple games ago he really went full ham on SPECSAVERS!!!! it was fuckin glorious

I absolutely love JM but his “jitterbugs” is one of my least favourite

“Pulsating action!!!”

A prostrate Mike Smith makes the save

They ran (insert team here) right out of town

Nashville, because dri is the mayor of Nashville

“POUR IT ON!!!!!”

I’m just here to say I hope he’s our pxp guy for decades to come. He’s top 5 in the world at calling games.

I hope he gets to call some playoff games 🙏

“Up the gut” or “knifed it” or “pitchforks it..”

+1 for 'pitchforks it' and 'up the gut', haha love it

I prefer the ones that come when it means the most… yes not a one liner…

DOWN THE STRETCH WE GO

Anytime there is a two goal lead for either team "up by a deuce" or "down by a deuce"

Or "Two goal BULGE"

When he says " DOOOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!" at the last commercial break

Go*

I enjoyed his suggesting Skinner belongs on the set of Tombstone. He's not wrong.

AND HELL’S COMING WITH ME

"Some posturing, some gesticulating, but ultimately no blows exchanged!" 😆

What can YO-u say??

After a moment of silence from a McJesus miracle

Not one-liner, but I like when he says “alacrity”

"He clears the puck ex-pertly!"

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE PLEASURE WAS ALL MINE”….”THIS IS THE BATTLE OF ALBERTA”… anything Jack Michaels says with enthusiasm will get the goosebumps going. He really the goat commentator.

Slithers behind the net

“THIS IS THE BATTLE OF ALBERTA WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR THREE DECADES!”

So true

This has to be it.

You nailed it, my blood came to a boil with this one.

Off the schnied

Me and my wife always grin when someone is off the schnied. This one is hands down my fav

DOWN THE STRETCH WE GO!!!

When one team is leading by a 💩

AND THE OILERS ARE RUUUUUUNNING EM RIGHT OUT OF THE BUILDING!!!!

Was looking for this one.

My favourite was a few weeks back against Nashville, and the camera pans to Ekholm who is bickering with the ref about something, and right before we hit commercial Jack goes: "we'll be right back with Rogers Oilers hockey, and that man is NOT HAPPY!"

I love when he makes a literary reference and then self deprecates right after.

There’s so many that I love but the one that just gets me is whenever he slides in the word “clavicle”. Goalie takes a shot in the shoulder? “Right off the clavicle” Guy gets crumbled into the boards? “Watch the clavicle”

Oilers win in "OVEEERRR TIME!""

It makes me laugh and sometimes cringe when he starts talking about Louie’s body or his workout routine. Man has a serious bro crush on Debrusk.

He had a great one that was wasted during the preseason imo. McDavid was skating towards an empty netter and Jack said "Here comes McDavid. The net is empty. Now it isn't."

Connor scored a filthy goal for a hatty in a visitor’s arena and Jack says:

"Jesse makes a pass"

I don’t recall him ever saying this.

Down the stretch we go……

No one uses “carom” quite like Jack Michaels

"Much to his shegrin!"

BODIES STREWN ACROSS THE ICE

Jack covered a game years ago when Luke gazdic was on the team. After a good scrap he was talking about how tough gazdic was - “it’s helps that he’s got skin like leather. He doesn’t need to use shaving cream, I’m not even sure he uses water!”

"He's looking for a call, but non forthcoming"

dOOOOWN the stretch WE GO

"Pour it on!"

HARD RIM

"Insert goalie name, holding sway!"

Not really a one liner, but there was one game he knew a random stat from memory and said, “I’m like the old blind squirrel.. every once and awhile I find an acorn.” Haha

"OHHHHH MOTHERRRRRRRR"

Best announcer out there

Anything about trigonometry

That iconic call when McJesus slayed the evil Calgary in OOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRRR time will perhaps never be topped

Just upvoting every comment. He is amazing at his job. I wish he would get the playoffs as well. He makes regular season games feel like they are playoff games.

DOWN THE STRETCH!!

“In…..OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVERTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME”

I love all his one liners, he is a gem for sure.

THIS, IS THE BATTLE OF ALBERTA WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR , FOR 3 DECADES!

Since he's been around, I try to fit "I digress" in my regular vocabulary.

AT THE BUZZER! LEON DRAISAITL PUTS EDMONTON ON TOP 4 TO 3! THE OILERS ARE GONNA WIN THIS HOCKEY GAME!

Holding sway.

Can't remember who we were playing or what the score was, but it was earlier in the season, and we were blowing them out. As it was cutting to commercial break the camera focused on the other team's goaltender and Jack is like "The Oilers lead by a score of 5-2, and THAT MAN isn't very happy." Literally had me in tears. Fucking love Jack

Ekholm I think lol

DOWN THE STRETCH WE GOOO

Just the other day after McDavid scored his Hattie, he said something like "not many hats on ice but they'll certainly have some equipment to pick up"

I like his little adjectives for puck moving: "hurdled down the ice" "knifed out from the boards" "sifted to the corner"

DOOOOOWWWN THE STREEETCH WE GOOOOO!

" Down the stretch."

The Zack Hyman evening skate call on the pk

When he's on Ched doesn't he do like a growly sounding "Oilers" when they go to commercial break? Love that.

I really liked the one from the recent game “Waits waits and finally he…..whiffs”

Down the stretch they come!

How has no one mention the phrase "chisels it up the left hand boards"? I have never heard anyone use that before.

POUR IT ON

DOWWWWNN THE STRETCH!

Goalie playing great? He's "Holding Sway". Don't know why but I love this.

Bagels on the board!

DOWN THE STRECH WE GO!!!!!!!

“It’s not over yet!” After a late goal when it’s been over for at least 20 minutes.

I laughed yesterday when he was talking about late games and how he and Louis had been “pounding Jolt cola and Sour Patch Kids, getting ready to call tonight’s match up”.

Mypillow

Something about signing off.

I have ived out of market most of my adult life and due to time differences have had to usually listen online; i am so happy that cam moon is starting to take over the calls.

None. Jack Michaels is not as good as Chris Cuthbert or Kevin Quinn. He is a wrestling announcer.

Boo this man

You, sir, are wrong.

You’re down 15 downvotes in OVEEERRR TIME!

Funny enough, did you know he tried out to be the lead announcer of Smackdown when the WWE debuted the show in 1999?

Honestly the wrestling announcer vibes is what makes it for me. Hockey is exciting af and having a play by play guy that excited makes it even better

But ‘ARE YOU ENTERTAINED’? I know I am.

Jack who? You mean the quintessential stud muffin Joel Gertner?

My favourite is:
