With the company line forever spewing out of his mouth, I would have thought he'd be a lock for these kinds of tourneys... especially in the Worchester or Amherst regionals.

It will be soooo refreshing not to have to listen to the Wooger and mop head for once. Go Sioux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateshattrick Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Since the games are not on ESPN or ESPN2, are any of the local stations in Fargo or Grand Forks going to pick up the regional games? If not, are there any bars in either town that are going to televise the games on satellite or on ESPN's other channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux_Hab-it Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Clement grew up right across the Ottawa River from me and I played some youth hockey against both him and Larry Robinson. Guess I finally gave my age away. He is a great analyst and I think he will appreciate the Sioux style of play. He might even see a bit of his former self in Rory McMahon. The good old NCAA newsclip has Barry Melmose vice Melrose doing the Amherst series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesemover Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 ESPN U has the game @ 8pm friday night direct tv 609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Gary Thorne is the best hockey announcer PERIOD. No one even comes close.... I sure hope you mean south of the border. I'm partial to Bob Cole (CBC HNIC), Chris Cuthbert (formerly of CBC HNIC) and Paul Romaniuk (formerly of TSN). I would definitely agree that Thorne, while a little too easily excitable at times, is far and away the best of the ESPN play-by-play bunch.

DamStrait Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I'll take TH and TO over all comers. Yes, I'm a homer, but objectively speaking, while these guys may not be the best, they are still really, really good and there is nobody Sioux fans would rather listen to.

jloos Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I was hoping to hear about the South Dakoter fighting Sioux playing in their new rink in Fargo. I agree Thorne is a great announcer - hopefully they will study up on the college game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertrex Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I complimented the area operations manager for a carrying the games last year. I made my comments at a large public gathering a few weeks back and I know he appreciated the support. Hopefully he will be in our corner on this and will get it done if enough of us ask...

As well as (obviously) the Gopher-Maine game, DU-BSU game and the East regional championship. (And some more games, but I couldn't write fast enough ) edit...CVCL beat me to it.

I was beginning to think I was getting screwed by having DishNetwork. (I suppose those with DirecTV were screwed last year during the Victory debacle, but I need my NCAA Hockey fix!)

NoSiouxp4U Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I flipped ahead for those of you with DISH Network the games are listed on Alternate 1 (445) as East Semifinal #1 followed by East Semifinal #2. Altitude (regional sports package) has a few games already listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thank goodness!! I was beginning to think I was getting screwed by having DishNetwork. (I suppose those with DirecTV were screwed last year during the Victory debacle, but I need my NCAA Hockey fix!) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I remember correctly, the DirecTV people (me) had it nice last year, because the east coast stations put on the games that Victory was carrying. It was just that they were on tape delay. I know I watched the Sioux live, but can't remember if they were the ones being covered by Victory.
