AJS Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Also, not sure I’ve ever watched a game where I felt neither team could score on the power play. UMD is bad. Quote

Does anyone remember the origin of that little inside joke? I have forgotten it but damn, just about spit my pop out at the first reference to it last night. Quote

I think he was only in the booth for a year but had several gems like TCOS. 4 Quote

He hasn’t come close to reaching the level he was at 2 years ago. Please someone suggest he need not scream when every goal is scored be it on NCHCtv or CBSSN 1 Quote
TheFlop Posted February 22 Posted February 22 2 hours ago, AJS said: Keep same lines together, but put 29-8-27 as the 4th line on the line chart tonight. Come on Berry, show how you play matters, even with your super special Seniors. 3rd / 4th lines were by far the two best lines last night. Really want things to click for McLaughlin on the 1st line, but they aren’t. Croal should play every game. Who shouldn’t when Perron is healthy? Clearly 29. I like 29-8-27 playing together. The line isn't necessarily great at defense, but instead of spreading 3 guys that can't score across 3 lines to drag them down you just bite the bullet and have one line you know has no chance of scoring. 1 3 Quote

He interacts with all the players and coaches when he interviews them like they are besties. Quote
Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted February 22 Popular Post Posted February 22 Alex is a big time play by play guy. Midco is lucky he's still willing to call a lot of their stank. 11 Quote

He needs to be careful he might get to excited and fall out of the broadcast booth. Quote

Godsmack Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Last night, we sat through the St. Cloud broadcast. I’m sure Geno Parrish is a nice guy but man, very difficult to listen to his fan boy color commentary. I think UND has it good compared to other programs’ commentators. 1 Quote
