EVERY. GAME. EVER. But Buccigross annoys me a trillion times more than Holden. Buccigross is kinda the worst, and his NHL color commentator can't pronounce names to save his life, and has no clue about college hockey prior to the NCAA tournament. So....all things considered I'd take Holden/Starman It's called a tag. That's his thing. I love that stuff. He's gotta keep doing it! Quote

I vote for option C, what do you guys think? E) Pot another goal, stand in front of Miska, pull a 9 Iron out of the bag (aka, use his stick), line up a shot and wish them a happy Summer on the links 4 Quote

In your scenario you need those two players for the next game more than anything else. 1 Quote

Unless we're feeding the beer to underage kids, why does it matter who is actually playing. If you are at an entertainment event, and you are of age, what is the problem? This is the NCAA. Perception trumps reality. In Cincy last year all the beer ads had black tarps over them. 2 Quote

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. 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

The scout job helps for sure, he doesn't lean on citing what round each player was drafted as the only gauge of a player's ability level. Quote
ericpnelson Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 is the NCAA streaming this game? I haven't decided if I'm gonna be bold enough to just bounce from work without telling anyone at 2 PM, so I might just pretend to do stuff for the first period while watching the stream. 1 Quote

Just bounce, nothing in Grand Forks should be open after 2pm on Friday. My workplace is literally looking into upgrading our cable package so they can watch the game. I'll be in Fargo Quote
