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.

That was Dan Hammer’s term for the stick salute the one year when he was announcing games.  I think he was only in the booth for a year but had several gems like TCOS.

Alex is a good announcer but he won’t offer any criticism like Brandt would.  He was gushing over Jamernik as a leader. He hasn’t come close to reaching the level he was at 2 years ago.  

Expand  

Please someone suggest he need not scream when every goal is scored be it on NCHCtv or CBSSN

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.

Alex is part of the UND a$$ kissing crowd and might not get access to the players if he criticized them.  He interacts with all the players and coaches when he interviews them like they are besties.

Quite frankly I think that's just how he treats everyone he meets.

Genuinely a really really nice guy

This needs to be said.....the NODAK jerseys need to be the new everygame jerseys. White, green, black. BB knew what he was doing getting that thing started with the side hustle. They are gems.

Need to get those Nashville greens too

Meh, Alex is a lot of things, play-by-play guy? Not so much.

Expand  

If he can call a soccer match that has Messi playing in it you probably need to sit this one out.

That’s somewhat typical though in sports when comparing play by play announcer vs color commentary announcer.

Yes I agree he sounds like such a homer when he does this. He needs to be careful he might get to excited and fall out of the broadcast booth.

Well stated, I was going to respond in much less intelligent and scathing way.  I think Alex is as good as it gets in college hockey

As someone looking at a future of not being able to see the action, a legit play-by-play voice is gold.

I rather they actually use their team's name and not a name that lost in the vote.

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.

Geno is special...hard to tell who he's cheering for, right?;)
