Broadcasting career

He was featured on the cover of NHLPA Hockey '93 along with goaltender Mike Richter. [2] Moller has been the Panthers' television color analyst since 2015, following eight seasons as the team's radio play-by-play announcer and nine years as a radio analyst before that. He is known for screaming a pop culture reference after Florida Panther goals, though not every goal, and not when the Panthers are out of the game. Examples such as references to Tracy Morgan on 30 Rock , a Christian Bale tirade, film quotes from Wedding Crashers , Jaws , and Forrest Gump are included on a YouTube clip produced by The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz . [3]

The goal calls by Moller were done in conjunction with The Dan Le Batard Show, which shared the radio station that hosts the Florida Panthers radio play-by-play. The show and listeners provide Moller with numerous pop culture references, and he then chooses what he likes and uses it during games.
