Easily the most unbiased game announcing I've ever heard.

Sarcasm?

...and I'll be muting the game tomorrow.

I thought the same thing the entire night.

Agreed. Radio guys for college hockey are always better than the TV guys. However, they usually are more biased. Not these guys. Kudos to Notre Dame for a great radio team.

Seriously? I thought they made Sonmor look neutral.

Irish fans, does the team shake hands after every game?

The announcers seemed a bit surprised that there was no handshake line. In the WCHA teams only shake hands after the second game.

I think we're the only conference that does it after the weekend, rather than every game. IIRC, we've (as a conference) been ripped by Eastern teams when the teams leave without shaking hands on a Friday.

I certainly didn't think so. Obviously, they were slanted towards Notre Dame, but I thought they were pretty fair. Of course, I had the Minnesota game on the TV while watching, so perhaps their overt bias has clouded my judgment

Announcers not too shabby...Saunders stole the game for the Sioux tonite in my opinion...get'em tomorrow!!

Saunders definitely played well, but it seemed that most of Notre Dame's best chances missed the net (could have been deflected/saved of course), while a lot of Saunders' saves were from long range.

Regardless, Saunders played well (as did Summerhays), and was the big reason for the victory tonight.

I think you're right. I remember some of the eastern fans being confused over that in the past.

Yes, they shake hands after every game. I can't recall the last time I saw a team not line up to shake hands, even out of conference.

They didn't shake hands after Friday's game when they played at the Ralph in 2010.

I thought the announcers were great. They did their homework to get to know the Sioux player's names - and pronounced them well ( except for Rowney, which everyone seems to do). Are they ND students?

The play by play guy is a local sports radio personality, no connection to the university other than his professional radio gigs. He generally works games alone, although a number of people have commented on the announcerS plural from last night. Not sure there was someone else working with him last night, although occasionally in the last couple of seasons Eric Ringel, a player forced to quit due to repeated severe concussions, would join the broadcast booth. Ringel graduated last season.
