farce poobah Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Ever since 3x3 was legislated out of the normal run of play, I have missed it. (Rules changes designed to prevent the team trailing from getting the benefit of 3x3 ... etc etc)I have some fabulous memories of 3x3 play including a Dec 1981 goal James Patrick scored to win it in Minnesota. Best birthday present ever.I think its a good step forward. if it means fewer shootouts all the better. Quote
Goon Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) So far only C.C. and UND have announced that they're giving out COA's. I imagine that DU and MU will follow suit.UND Hockey to Give Players Cost of Attendance Stipends Edited August 31, 2015 by Goon Quote
siouxstudent Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 http://thehockeywriters.com/chicago-blackhawks-top-10-prospects-5-through-1/?ref=yfpThis is the worst assessment of Nick Schmaltz I have ever read. Literally, the worst. The writer is positive when writing about Schmaltz but his assessment of the type of player he is could not be further from accurate.You are right,that is so terrible. Quote

Kober got a lot of heat from us on here, but I enjoyed him. Sure, he wasn't the most articulate guy, but he was funny and has plenty of knowledge. Quote

UNDBIZ Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 He may be very knowledgeable, but he struggles to convey that knowledge to the viewers. I would be much worse than him, but I'm not the color guy for one of the most highly followed college hockey teams in the country. Regardless, good luck to Kober at EGF. Quote
ericpnelson Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I'll replace him, but I have demands. 1) I get to do play by play during the second. I think I'll get bored doing color the whole time. 2) food vouchers... pretty much anything I want. We're gonna go through some nachos, no olives or the deal is off. 3) I'll keep it off camera, but it's good luck if I have a dacqueri. I don't even really like them, but it's the principal of the thing. I'm not sure it will hurt performance. 4) My elite hockey insight can leave something to be desired, so when I compensate by just making up words, I want zero sass. 1 Quote

stoneySIOUX Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Yeah, we're going to have to go ahead and agree to disagree on that Stone Hahaha don't get me wrong, he's not my favorite, I just don't think of him when I think of bad color commentators. Barry Melrose comes to mind... Trent Dilfer last night on MNF... oof... Cris Collinsworth... there's another... I like Kober. He feels like "one of us" Quote
ericpnelson Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Suuuuureee.... you don't like them. It's ok... froo froo drinks are ok for manly men every once in awhile I like the mango one (I think that's it)... somehow the black cherry one is the lucky one. I love black cherry stuff usually, but not in Ralph Dacqueri's. I have to respect the magic of the Dac-trick. 1 Quote

iluvdebbies Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 There were times when I thought maybe Kober shouldn't talk so much ....until Hammer started talking again. Quote

I legitimately do not remember. I've been told it happened but if my mind has no memory of drinking said drink, did said drink really get drunk? Quote

The Sicatoka Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) OK, OK, I'll replace Kober. I even already have previously qualified for an Federal Communications Commission Third Class Radiotelephone Operators Permit with a broadcast endorsement. (For those of you who know what that is and what that means, yes, I was in the radio industry back when that was required of on-air AM or FM broadcasters. That requirement has since gone away.)

ericpnelson Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 He was kind of fun along side Hammer, but my god--a cliche' machine. If I was the color commentator, I can promise you I wouldn't use cliches. I would put in the work ahead of time and prepare the right way. I wouldn't just go in there and fly by the seat of my pants. I'd give it my 110% every night and wouldn't just take the easy way out. I'd dig deep for thoughtful analysis. I'd try to eliminate any mental mistakes. If I had a rough call, I'd make sure to turn it up a notch and step up to show I belong at that level. One thing that's for sure, I'd take advantage of my opportunities (as color commentator). 1 Quote
