    What, nothing on Melrose saying the 1980 team was made up mostly of players from these two teams (MN and BC)?

        Gary Melrose and Barry Thorne could have at least taken some time to learn names and grab pronunciation guides from the teams playing in the tournament this year. Perenteau, Rau and Seratorre are having their names butchered all during that first period, and not a word has been dropped in respect to Erick Haula being MN's leading point getter. I'd bet that if I knew more about BC's team, much could be the same said for them, too.

          Except when they explicitly stated that after talking about BC's top scorers, right before mentioning Bjugstad as the Gophers' leading goal scorer.

          Edit: And they just mentioned both of them again. Did you hear it this time?

            I didn't hear it the first time around. I certainly did hear the mentions during the second.

              Gary Thorne is not a college hockey guy so, yes, he messes up names. Regardless, it's nice to have a professional play-by-play commentator who is able to keep up with the speed of the game.

                Thorne used to call UMaine games...he is a college hockey guy. It's just not his day job.

                  Yeah I wasn't insinuating that he doesn't know college hockey. Thanks for clarifying, I didn't know that he used to call Maine games.

                      No, the point of the post was it is nice to have a professional who can keep up with the speed of the play...

                            I watch Mike & Mike as I'm getting ready in the am for about 15 minutes while I'm in the bathroom (yes I have a tv in the bathroom ), and the day after the BB championship game they bumped them for US women's soccer. I was disappointed. I'm not a huge M&M fan, but in that 15 minutes I get a sports big picture view for the day.

                                Question of the day time.

                                Which event coverage is more over-hyped -- the NFL draft or NHL trade deadline day on TSN?
