To a point I agree. But on the other hand, I don’t necessarily need to hear his words to see what’s happening in front of my eyes. It’s a telecast, not a radio broadcast. Doesn’t necessarily have to paint the picture. 

You are right about not having to paint the picture for us viewers, I'm not requesting that.  But it would nice to not have to mentally tune out the off-topic jabbering while play is going on.  I do, at times, mute it when it gets to the point of intolerable distraction, but I also like to hear the crowd reactions to what is happening on the ice.  They could do a good job of covering the game and add to the enjoyment of the viewing audience, if they would harness their visiting with each other while play on the ice is taking place.

Alex Heinert is doing NCHC PxP for CBS Sports Network for a reason. He's by far the best PxP in the NCHC, hands down. I can't think of another PxP person on NCHC.TV that's better. Surely not the crew that did the substandard broadcast from Omaha. 

I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting picked up by a bigger network, ie, doing other CBS Sports events or for another network. He can call football, hockey and basketball. We don't have anyone better in our area. He'd blow Sweeny or Hammer out of the water. If you watch the NHL or other hockey games on a regular basis they all do this. Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley in Boston, the Wild Announcers Anthony LaPanta and whoever is in the booth with him. Just to name a few. I'd be careful what you ask for. 

College hockey pxp as a whole sucks nationwide.  So saying he is hands down the best in the NCHC isn't saying much.

You have your opinion of what is a good pxp hockey announcer.  I have a different opinion. 

CBS can take him full time, if they would like.  He would do just fine as a football announcer, but I would prefer to have a different approach for hockey.  Naming LaPanta as one of the best leaves a lot to be desired.  He's not much more than a cheerleader for the Minnesota teams.  At least Mazocco and Woog did the games in a much better way, even though Mazocco was also a big "cheerleader" for the Gophs.

Woog typically had to reel in Frank the Tank.

Sanderson is hurt again. Had his hand skated over on Sat night. He'll be seeing a specialist to see if there is tendon damage. Doubtful for this weekend I'd guess.

Great...he and Kleven both out Friday then.  For Sanderson’s sake, hopefully there’s no long term damage.

:(
Kid can't catch a break this season.
The team has done well without him this season, but it's hard to replace his skill on the ice for sure.

That said, it's playoff hockey.  Wrap it in gauze and get out on the ice.  :D ;)

I haven't looked at game film.. I wonder when it occurred and was he playing up to the end of the game?

I remember him making a diving play in the crease toward the end.  We needed him out there,though, not like Sioux were up by 5.
