Doc Emrick plans to let Islanders fans do the talking

Doc Emrick plans to keep relatively quiet Sunday at Nassau Coliseum, because he would rather have the crowd speak for itself -- something he is confident postseason-starved Islanders fans will do enthusiastically.

"You don't have to say anything in an atmosphere like that," the NBC play-by-play man said Thursday as he watched the Penguins' morning skate at Madison Square Garden, where he was to call the first two games of the Rangers-Penguins series.

"What you wind up doing sometimes is going to a break without even saying the score. They can see the score. If it's something that's really been inspiring for the home team, you just let the crowd go.
