USA Audio Broadcasters HORRIBLE!

[Let'sGoHawks!]

Anyone else think these guys are clowns? I had no idea where the puck was or what was going on, it sounded like a high school game being broadcast. Why in the world did "Double Minor Broadcasting", whoever that is, get the rights to broadcast? Why not Tim Hennessey? I realize yet again how lucky we are to have Tim broadcasting Sioux hockey.

hear ya!! My father in law (who goes to most Sioux games but ALWAYS has Hennessy on regardless) said the exact same thing tonight!! He said "Tim puts you IN THE GAME - those guys keep you OUT of the game!) They are very VANILLA!!! Plus, unlike ESPN2 who's been pumping up the crowd excitement - I noticed these clowns were talking about the "sedated" USA crowd at the Ralph (Even when I could hear "USA....USA" in the background Do I sense a LITTLE BITTERNESS about having to travel to ND to work during the holidays? maybe it's just me!!

Maybe they just didn't like the fact that the bars there close early??

My sister sent this to me today from Denver. Those Canadians cheer for anything. I love their enthusiasm.

Crazy Canadians

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) Leave it to Canadians to cheer for ice and snow. Blowing snow and icy roads stranded hundreds of fans here for the World Junior Hockey Championship.

While Canada was breezing to an 8-1 win over Finland, authorities announced the closure of Canadian Highway 75, which turns into Interstate 29 in North Dakota.

Canadians cheered the announcement, nearly as much as their team

Due to family work schedules, I've had to go to the Canada games and my wife gets the USA games. I wish the locals would pick up a thing or two from the Canadian fans, outstanding team backing, the USA games I've seen are more like the sedate Sioux crowds. One thing that stuck me on Monday when there were 10,700 rowdy Canadians, that rumor has it drunk REA out of beer, REA staff was letting them get away with stuff that would get a lifetime ban at a Sioux game. A group just below me was banging on the glass everytime any player skated by, banging on the glass with sticks and shafts that had Canadian flags. The dasher was lined with beers, I think only one got spill the entire game during a check. Many a fan had comsumed a lot of alcohol and no security came into the area to take the fun out of the moment. I got to go to the USA/Czech game and a guy in a Calgary Flames jersey got up in a tunnel exit and tried to fire up the crowd for about 5 minutes with building sucess but the results were far less than the same actions during the Canada/Finland game. He went back to his seat and put his head in his hands like he was saying "what do you have to do to fire this crowd up?". But overall I like the atmosphere during the WJ, not as corporate as Sioux games, just hockey fans!

For those of you who are upset with the USA broadcasters, go to this messageboard and complain. It is the parent company of the broadcasters. They erased what I posted, if more people post, they can't erase them all.
