The only thing he says that I don't care for is the 'dispossessing' of the puck.  Just sounds wrong.

Yeah, that one bugs me, too.  But all in all I think he and Jake do a great job.

I think Alex and Jake serve us very well.  

But I HAVE to comment once again how irritating Tim's color guy is.   I love Tim Hennessey's pxp announcing--it was my only way to observe games for a lot of years.  I even listened at times when video was available because he is so good at what he does.  I don't expect him to ever pair up with another guy as good as "the other Tim,"  but this current guy has me avoiding Tim H., which is not something I thought would ever happen.   He's probably not that bad, and his sins are not egregious, but I just can't deal with him very well at this point.

The problem Jack has is he is screaming and yelling on every play like it was a game winning shot in game 7 of the NBA finals or a winning field goal in the Super Bowl.  It gets real old quickly.

Denver started the season 8-0 and now haven't won a game in their last four since starting NCHC play.

Well 6 of those 8 were against Alaska Fairbanks, Lake State, and Niagara...they did sweep BC at Magness so you got to give them credit there.

Yeah they haven't had the toughest schedule, that's for sure.
I don't even think BC is that good this year...they're at 7-4 currently but that's only because they just wrapped up a four-game stint against UConn and Vermont...two teams that have a combined 3 wins all season.

So refreshing to listen to Tim this weekend without Ole.  Just Tim doing what Tim does best without getting cut off constantly.

Tim is too good of a pxp guy to have such poor color commentary.  Would love a reunion weekend of TH and O'Keefe.

Hahaha, but it's grammatically correct.

Alex is ALSO a soccer fan - and that's a soccer term.  Doesn't make him a bad person for translating it into the hockey lexicon.  I can tell you knowing him personally he puts his heart and soul into UND Hockey but as a sports guy he has MANY interests and incorporates them all into his call.   Bottom line is his enthusiasm is sincere, honest and true - which I think UND fans would appreciate.   Jack Michaels is the same...the enthusiasm of a real SPORTS fan calling a game - we should be glad be have BOTH of them calling UND sports.   There are NO local gf media personalities (aside from TH) who could pull this off for ANY UND sports right now OR please feel free to name some if you can....

I sound like a broken record on this, but that is so easy to cure, or at least address.  Tim has to know, and it's on him to make sure his color guy (and young but hopeful understudy, probably) understands what he needs to do to improve.   It's seriously annoying and a problem for Tim.

It's also an issue when his color guy calls out a fanbase and throws out "keyboard warriors".  What a bleeping idiot.  I hope he reads this so he knows everyone thinks he's terrible.

He is terrible....but he was spot on with the keyboard warriors.
