Too many to name. The classic 94 calls were great, but they were all televised. The best ones are the ones we couldn't see.
Can't even begin to tell you the impact Jim Robson had on us growing up with him being the voice of our team. Those old enough to remember there were a bunch of years we only had like what 5 games televised the entire season, so we leaned in on the radio every night the Nucks played. Even in the 90s half the games you had to go find a bar that picked it up on satellite, otherwise, no prob, Jim's got you covered. And man it was just as exciting as watching it live. Nobody painted a better picture of the action on the ice, NOBODY. You can tell how good a scoring chance was just by the cadence and inflections in his voice.."Bure picks up the puck at the blue line with speed,..he's RIGHT IN!, HE DEEKS!!!……"
Hughson and Shorty were/are great too (the local guys are the best), but JR is absolutely the GOAT.
Still going to games long into retirement until the end. Biggest shame of all is he never got to see them hoist. Nobody deserved it more.
