I drove my Dad nuts draining the batteries of my radio falling asleep listening to the Blackhawks. Loyd Pettit was the best.
Although many hockey announcers would say "He shoots, he scores", Lloyd Pettit's famous "Shot and a goal" followed by the Chicago Stadium crowd roars, was truly music to Blackhawk fans.
Those where the days. Loved Hull and Mikita !!!! ATG's
Plus Lloyd was the man …..he was in a class by himself !
AH this is so much fun to listen to Lloyd Pettit. He would do Cubs games with Jack Brickhouse when I was a kid he never did sound the same calling baseball but his hockey calls are classic
I LOVED when Lloyd Pettit would go from a hockey game into a boxing match mode when a fight broke out! I've never heard anybody do it better.
Thanks . I barely remember beginning to follow the Blackhawks in 71 and than they became terrible after 74 or 75. So I turned them off until Savard arrived.
Lloyd Pettit, the greatest play-by-play announcer in hockey history… and Harvey Wittenberg, the greatest public address announcer…
In the 1960's and early 70's Bobby owned the city of Chicago in the same way that Michael Jordan, Walter Payton and Ernie Banks did.
I cheered and hat a shot of whiskey when my buddy from Chicago called and said "Ding Dong the witch is dead"..Old Man Wirtz was tightwad douche bag…good riddance!!
My childhood.. thank you for this..
Lloyd Pettit: Best hockey play-by-play man of all time because his voice captured the speed and excitement of the game perfectly and better than any other ever!! No one will ever have a more exciting signature call than Lloyd's classic "A shot and a goal!" Long Live Lloyd!
Greatest sports announcer ever. Can't even think of who would come in second place to Lloyd. Loved it when he began speaking at a 100 mph. Many thanks for some wonderful memories!!
Lloyd Pettit, yes indeed, the greatest announcer of all time.
Lloyd Pettit's play by play of Chicago Blackhawk games of the late 60s and 70s provided the soundtrack to my youth. He was a class act and a gifted announcer. RIP
The Blackhawks really need to erect a Statue of Petit and Pat Foley, their Two NHL Hockey Hall of Fame Announcers at the United Center announcing.
“A SHOT AND A GOAL!” beats “HE SCORES” any day!!! Lloyd was THE BEST.
Wonderful memories. Thank you.
If I remember correctly, Pettit announced the games of the Chicago Black Hawks, not the Blackhawks.
Even better than "shot and a goal" was "shot, save, rebound and a goal" Best radio play by play in Chicago history, imo
I'm with all of you. This trip down memory lane was awesome. Thank you for this gift.
Who are the "Candians" ?
Wow please post complete games of u can!!
Two of my fondest memories of a misspent youth in Chicago: Phil Georgeff calling the races at Arlington Park and Lloyd Pettit calling the Blackhawks at the Stadium or on the road. They turned the events they described into magical experiences. My sincerest thanks to both of you gentlemen; I miss you both.
I know how you feel. I grew up in New York listening to Marv Albert on the radio, I remember listening to the Ranger Blackhawk triple overtime game in 1971 when Stan Mikita hit the post with an open net and Pete Stemkowski scored the game winner at the beginning of the third overtime period!
Game seven 1971 I was watching the game in a theater downtown Chicago, after the game I was a total wreck
Bobby Hull's 500th goal February 21, 1970 Blackhawks 4 Rangers 2
Was that stan mikita sit on a bench in the blackhawks locker room smoking a cigarette?
A shot and a goal! This was a link to some exciting memories of my youth. I watched or listened to every Black Hawk game through those years and Lloyd Pettit was the voice of those games and my enjoyment. You are so right that he painted pictures that made the games live in your mind even if you were listening on the radio. I really liked his interviews between periods as well; he often had to work hard to get some of the less talkative players to do their part, LOL. On the other hand, try to get a word in when Stan Mikita was the interviewee. Thanks for posting this very nice tribute to this great sportscaster.
those cub games with lloyd and lou boudreau were 10 levels over what we have on the radio now
Listened from Buffalo as a kid.Pure hockey excitment with Lloyd and his great calls.
"and a Goal" I remember those words so well from my childhood / teen!
I believe WGN Channel 9 did have originally show Chicago Blackhawks home games, until the early seventies.
I was born in 1968. We moved to Streamwood when I was 4. That was 1972. Same year my uncle took me to my first hockey game and the first time I was helping my Dad turn the antenna so we could get da Hawks game on channel 44
Lloyd was the GREATEST
Pat Foley I think modeled himself after Lloyd
Pat Foley and Dale Tallon! Yeah! How bout that?!
Pat and Eddie!
I’ll bleed black and red until I’m cold and dead
Truly the greatest. Best hours of my life listening to Lloyd call the games for my Blackhawks.
Man, thanks so much for posting this. For some reason, I recalled “a shot and a goal” today; I tried looking up Lloyd Pettit on YouTube, and there you were… my mom & dad & 3 sisters used to watch Blackhawk games together, and this was the announcer, Lloyd Pettit, the greatest… thanks for the blast from the past!
"I'm not annoyed if you call me Floyd, but I might wince if I'm called Vince."
Lloyd Pettit is right up there with Dan Kelly. He could make this life long Blues fan a Blackhawk fan if only for a few hours a night. And when they aren’t playing the Blues.
Danny Gallivan is the finest hockey broadcaster, by far
It's Canadiens , not Canadians
I am a Blues fan in Texas, my intro to hockey was kmox the sports voice of St Louis in 67 or 68. In those days in my hometown you couldn't see any hockey on tv. It was several years before I could see what I was falling in love with
on the radio. I got books in school you could order from your teacher and one of my first was Hockey Stars of 1967-1968. That was also I think my first paperback. Of course the Blues had the great Dan Kelly. However on a few occasions I happened to run across Chicago Blues broadcasts on Chicago radio, when kmox wouldn't come in. Even though I never knew who the broadcaster was, I always could recall hearing a shot and goal. Like it was yesterday. Thanks for the video. I can finally put a name to the voice. Was he your broadcaster when the Hawks won any cups? It's a shame Dan never saw the Blues win it all.
What fabulous voice, golden age of the riotous Chicago Stadium.
Lloyd was the best announcer in all my 67 years! He put the thrill in the sport. Loved that guy! I'll never forget!
I think I once heard somewhere that during the 1970's, not only were Chicago Blackhawks home games blacked out from local TV, but that only ten or so regular season away games were televised.
To make matters worse, the games were supposedly shown on a tape delay at 10 P.M. Central time!
Bobby Hull slap shot and A Goal
No one did it better, no one. He put you right there at ringside. “Shot & a goal!”
grew up in Chicago 50s-60s and found out about hockey listening to Lloyd Petit on the radio, his famous saying.."A Shot and A Goal". and remember him saying when the old Chicago Stadium was full, "their hanging from the rafters". after i got out of the service in '67 we had seats up in the 2nd balcony, 2nd row. and there actually were people(workers) walking up on the catwalks above the ice… RIP Robert Marvin Hull
