I hate it when they call new kids 'rookies' when they are not on the rookie list.

fat side of the ground (is that where you get a skinny cap?)
smashed at the clearances
hard ball gets
got the loose (thanks for the commentary box coaching, Timmy Watson)
"the dooks, Gary" (memo to Brian Taylor- the 749th use of a phrase does not have quite the same impact as the first. Almost, and of course it's ever so amusing, but not quite the same nevertheless.)
ironic cheers (since when has sarcasm been 'irony'?)
very little time left on the clock (and you would otherwise find the time... on a sundial?)
"the big man" (special mention to Clinton Grybas, for whom anyone over 5'6" is a 'big man')

Booing (in reference to Robert Walls: "They're booing Mark Riccuito")
He actually got it right for the first time last week, "ROOOOOOOOOOO".
Others:
- Champion player (or the sentence " I know the word champion is used alot, but .....)
- 8 point game
- Mathematically possible
- Under rated player (especially when used for Tyson Edwards)

"That was a 2 goal/12 point play."
In reference to when a side misses a goal at one end, and the opposition takes it up the other end for a goal.

The Dukes is the best buzz word.
C'mon how can you not be fans of the Dukes.
I hate when they talk about 'World Record'.... Blighty seems to say it a fair bit

The 'OOOOOoooooo' sound the crowd makes whenever Ricciuto/ Cooney etc gets the ball gets on my goat.
