Stromer Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 per the WCHA website: Gary Thorne - play by play Ray Ferraro - color Clay Matvick - ice level Bob Norton - intermission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 per the WCHA website: Gary Thorne - play by play Ray Ferraro - color Clay Matvick - ice level Bob Norton - intermission YAY! A lot of worthless references to Chicken Parm! There is nothing better than endless references to inside jokes among analysts and commentators that the audience is not a part of. Makes you "part of the crew." Seriously, Ray Ferrero, maybe you should put the kabosh on that crap. Chicken Parm is a food and, unless you are willing to explain wtf they are talking about every time it is mentioned, you should drop the reference.

What I don't like is the term "Ripper." Seriously, a "ripper" is a really loud fart... or fragile backsided trousers on someone with a large backside. It will be interesting with Matvick in there. No Gophers or other WCHA teams to talk about.... he may be favorable to UND. Ferraro will more than likely go with the ESPN Party Line (Go BC/Michigan!). Thorne will be impartial (as well as an ESPN commentator can be), Norton will do everything but wear a BC jersey, Matvick will more than likely go "underdog" (Notre Dame/ UND). My prediction on the bias. Expect to hear a TON of Gerbe, Porter, Kolarik, "Can BC make it 3 in a row over UND?" etc. And don't take Norton too seriously. Take him like a hostile witness. It will make the stuff he says less difficult to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Time Hockey Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 As long as it isn't Dan MOriarty and Jack Edwards, I'm fine. They got us a championship (2000). It was great to listen to Moriarty eat his words in the third period! Only thing Jack Edwards screwed up was when he called us South Dakota. I can still hear Edwards say, "and that will end it" when Lee Goren stole the puck from a BC d-man and fired it into the empty net! Gary Thorn is a great play by play guy so I am glad he is calling the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Ferraro that does it, it is Buccigros (?) that calls him that, so I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thorn is a great play by play guy so I am glad he is calling the game. I thought it was Jack Edwards that did all the talking and Dan Moriarty who called us "South Dakota." During intermissions, Moriarty couldn't get two words in on Jack. And they didn't get us anything. They spent the entire time rooting for BC. Called a nice move by Farkas "The move of the playoffs" but failed to acknowledge that the move got him squat as Goehring made the save. They referred to Doug Flutie 1,000,000,000,000 times and generally made it seem like UND was nothing more than the Miami of the NCAA tournament that just got farther than they should have. I have no respect for them. As for "Chicken Parm," alright. Buccigross it is then. Still, it's stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeidiSioux62 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Will super mullet boy, Brian Engblom, be available? Wouldn't want to miss that horses azz. I think he works for VS so wouldn't be available for an ESPN broadcast. I really wish Bill Clament would do the broadcast. He always seems pretty even minded (except for the man-crush he had on Greene during the semis against MN in 2005, but that was pretty funny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxTupa Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Gary Thorn is very good...I look forward to listening to him... I am just pumped that all the games will be in HD!!! Slightly off-topic, but will they be IN HD or just ON HD. Because last year, they were on the HD channel, but in 4:3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Slightly off-topic, but will they be IN HD or just ON HD. Because last year, they were on the HD channel, but in 4:3. Yeah, this is more realistic. People keep thinking it's on HD every year just because you can see the game on ESPN HD/ESPN2 HD. These games aren't being broadcast in HD as far as I can tell looking at the channel guide since in the description it isn't listed as HD. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

KEH Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Whenever I listen to Gary Thorne calling a UND game he seems to favor toward the UND side. He also loved Michagan State's goal last year. I believe Thorne at the beginning of his career did play-by-play for Maine hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
