Recap of last year....
Living in Twin Cities, which is a hockey wasteland if you want to watch a quality product, , had digital cable package and saw Sioux vs. BC on CSTV in the Fog game that ended after two periods. I believe I saw them on CSTV one more time during the season.
My FTA picked up all the home games; no signal issues last year so got to see all those games.
Charter Cable started carrying a WCHA series of the week and showed the Sioux @ Mankato series. Drove down to Saturday's game; Sioux killed them!
Sioux @ Badgers was on 1 night I believe...Sioux @ UMTC on Fox Sports both nights...Went to Sensers on a Friday night and saw the Sioux against the Gwoz and DU...Drove to Duluth for the Saturday game when Trupp got hurt...Final Five games carried on FSN...Saw the Princeton regional game, don't remember what channel...talked my buddy who had Dish Network to upgrade his package for one day to catch the regional Final against the Badgers...Blacked out after one period in the National Semifinal on ESPN2...Did we win?
Now they are talking about having a WCHA Network/game of the week? It's definitely moving in the right direction...
I enjoy listening to the Sweeney...yeah he's Cheesy and a bit of a homer but still a 1000 times better than Hairhat and the Woogster on FSN...The only thing they need to improve on is putting the PP time on the screen somewhere, anywhere!
It's all good...with $12 gas (soon) this beats driving to the Forks...
