Doc Emrick’s Top 5 Calls For New Jersey Devils Hockey

#3 Zach Parise’s OT Goal vs The Canadians: January 9th, 2010

We have not seen the last of the Montreal Canadiens being on this list. This time, they fell in overtime when former Devils’ star Zach Parise scored an amazing backhanded goal on a breakaway in the last two and half minutes of overtime. Parise scored after getting a new stick. Travis Zajac sent a perfect pass to this new stick, leading to a game-winning goal. This goal gave the Devils a 2-1 win over the Habs.

This call by Doc by far one of his best. All events preceding to the goal created added fuel to the suspense and excitement to this. Before this goal, the Canadians were pressing in the the Devils’ zone and had a dangerous chance to score. Doc’s excitement throughout these turn of events ending with him yelling SCORE to the top of his lungs made this call of thing of beauty. This is another great example of how Doc can either keep you at the edge of your seat or just get out of your seat jumping in excitement.
