  1. Instant classic. Worthy of a nickname. Ideas?

    "Sticks Up" Game: props to Blake for doing it on goal 4, Berg for skating right in front of their bench with it on 7, and everyone who celebrated the W with it after the final buzzer. Keep it going tonight, maybe later in the season too.

    "Altitude Room" Game: in the college sports arms race, new must-have amenity just dropped. Does anyone know who is behind it, i.e. NASA, UND aerospace, private sector, etc.?

     

    On Gaber's goal it was so painfully obvious what they were doing, somehow their players didn't know what to expect though. Their PK is having an extra video session today.

    That would explain Taylor's tweet this afternoon.

     

     

    She's a great addition to the broadcast team, never misses a beat and helps cover others' slip ups. Wonder if she has mixed feelings about working UND games after getting her start at Jan Brady.

    UND's worst series in Denver...at least in recent memory...was probably the series in the 2015-16 season.

    I'd vote for the playoff series where they ended our season after the detour in New Mexico, either 2018 or 2019. Outplayed them but couldn't pot a goal.

    Shocking to me that people would prefer espn+. It’s always been a disaster for me and is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. So happy to not have to use it or pay for it once football starts. And espn+ doesn’t give any better exposure. No one just clicks through that terrible service looking for something to watch.  

    What issues do you have? Only time I have problems are when I forget to close the app before turning my VPN on.

    A few people I play beer league with said they've watched some college games for the first time due to their availability on the app. Not exactly moving the needle but ease of access is key.

    Interesting topic of conversation down at ASU.  Hopefully ASU remains "like minded" after they hire their new AD.  

     

    I'm going to go ahead and assume having the Coyotes playing 40-some on campus has a larger economic impact on the school and area than 7 football games. Obviously it's not a permanent situation but he doesn't include that in his calculus.

  6. My beef is the app doesn't work for streaming pretty much ever, at least on Android, so I have to use the website to stream it, and it's not optimized for a phone. When using Roku or desktop it's fine.

    Also, ESPN+ is all in on hockey, joining the masses is good for exposure.

    What’s a joke is that the NCHC discussed switching to ESPN a couple years ago and decided to stick with their own streaming service. I get that it makes them more money but from an exposure standpoint, it’s not going to do it. CBS Sports has also seemingly decreased the amount of televised games on that network every year, so they really should consider reevaluating that contract. 

    Hopefully ESPN still wants them when CBS lowballs the conference during the next renewal negotiations.

    They were probably going off the USA Hockey/Rink Live poll, which had UND and BC in a tie for #1.

    Or maybe PWR, where BC is #1 currently too.

    Fair enough. Harvard's broadcast showed them as #2.

    Who cares what ESPN thinks? All that matters is the PWR.

    Prior to half of college hockey being shown on their app, it was frustrating that they had the rights to tournament. Now, however, they are the stewards of hockey.
