Talking about how important Simonson is to the team on Saturday got an eye roll from me. A few years ago when he announced the game where O'Donnell had a hat trick against Duluth he was talking about how OD had such an outstanding career...he was scratched half the time with injuries or just not making the lineup. That said, he is knowledgeable about the game and the current college players. Takes the time to pronounce names the right way. Also, he's not overly enthusiastic like a certain ESPN guy. My critique is something a big fan would notice, but it likely makes it more enjoyable for the casual fan. If that's the worst aspect of his pxp, he's doing well. Expand Yeah I mean I notice some of that stuff too where the characterization of a certain player is a bit inflated. But like you said, it's more enjoyable and easier to get into the game for the casual fan which I'm all for. And it helps that he's a pro scout too, so you know he knows what he's talking about and not just blowing smoke. IMO I love Holden's goal calls, just the perfect amount of enthusiasm while not sounding like a freaking fanboy(Hi Bucci). 1 Quote
