Really the only good thing about CBS was the broadcast itself. First Ben Holden, then Alex Heinert, Starman color, and Shireen rinkside (could take her or leave her) had to be the best broadcast team calling hockey at the college age level. The number of games kept getting fewer and fewer as the seasons rolled on, meaning that either CBS didn't really care about college hockey, or it wasn't a profitable venture, or both. Like I said earlier, would love to see Starman (and Shireen, since I'm assuming it's a package deal) color UND's games all season.

None from Denver? Seems odd. Some of their players are American, right?

I will miss Starman color commentary. Maybe he could do a season-long hockey color gig for Midco? I also miss Jake Brandt color commentary. Jim Scanlan just doesn't do it for me.

Pretty sure his comment was made as sarcasm.

Ok. That's what the closed captioning says, but I know some of the other things the players say (the stuff that's not directly into a mic) the CC has wrong.

I think it's really neat the emphasis Schmidt has put on "701" as a mantra. At the end of this trailer, he does a call-and-response: "7 ? , 0 excuses, 1 goal." Can anyone decipher what they say after the 7?

I thought that away games have been in the Midco contract for a couple of seasons now.

I didn't vote, but it appears my thinking is in line with the majority in that it will be either Jerry or JTJ.

I also need a passport to get into the place I'm going (generally).

I always check Winnipeg for pricing of "major" flights (mostly overseas - Europe, Caribbean/Mexico, Hawaii). Even flew to Australia from Winnipeg for less than $1500.

Somehow I missed the R1 announcement until this thread was revived. Probably too much football and hockey talk going on back in February I agree with whoever said this should have been shouted from the rooftops. It didn't seem like it was.

Cool.

CBS (and Jim Nantz, in particular) is the authority on golf telecasts, but NBC (and its Golf Channel subsidiary) are still good. Glad NBC got the USGA events (including the US Open) back from FOX. They were terrible at golf.

I would be in favor of a full NODAK takeover of everything.

Agreed. Big loss.
