Florida Panthers Announcer Randy Moller: Pop Culture Specialist

Randy Moller is the coolest hockey radio announcer ever. As the play-by-play guy for the Florida Panthers, Randy Moller creatively inserts pop culture references into his goal calls. He often inserts these references into the goal calls from movies like Wedding Crashers and Jaws, but also makes references to music like Baby Got Back, and in a very obscure reference… Kool Moe Dee (I like his song How You Like Me Now).  It turns out that the Florida Panthers are on the same radio station as the Dan LeBatard Show. Listeners of this show submit ideas for the references and Moller picks his favorite. My personal favorite (at least from the clip below) is a tie between “pay the man his money” from Rounders and “what’s in the box” from Seven.

Randy Moller played in the NHL and was know to drop the gloves for the occasional donnybrook. Its also interesting to note that usually former players become color guys instead of play-by-play. Anyway, its safe to say that Randy Moller is our favorite radio hockey announcer. Enjoy some of his work:
