2/13/15 - Not a snowball's chance in hell that we're losing tonight!!

Re: 2/13/15 - Not a snowball's chance in hell that we're losing tonight!!

We had to deal with that for a whole weekend. That was bad idea #1. Then they showed her on air. That was bad idea #2, and that beat the hell out of bad idea #1.

My condolences. I'd buy you a beer out of pity if were at your buddy's poker game.

I think I've recovered.

Then there was Northland Guy, and his "THEY'RE FIGHTING ON THE ICE!! THERE'S A HUGE BRAWL! OH MY GOD! HE TOTALLY PUSHED HIM!!" in the middle of a typical scrum directly in front of the net.

Shots were like 50-18 in SNC's favor, but big deal. SNC has outshot opponents (usually very badly) all season long and the fact remains they have been basically a .500 team since the break. Honestly, I am not sure if they have been outshot all season (maybe the Saturday Adrian contest?)

SNC is not clicking on all cylinders (obviously) and I think they are now squarely in Pool A or bust territory. Eau Claire handing it to Point tonight doesn't help either...

Okay, so how exactly did this turn out?

Makes me feel better about my own PbP skills. I'm not as good as a Biggsy, but I'm glad I wasn't as bad some others.

Make no mistake. I couldn't do play-by-play for hockey to save my life. I'm more of a color commentator myself, but at least I wouldn't come up with what those fools said, of all things.

Could be worse. Snc announcer up at northland calling the game over a cell phone with a Bluetooth headset on loan from Dave the bus driver
Ducky broadcast Plattsburgh games by cell phone many times in some of the old arenas with no phone lines.

The Domes would routinely have inactive land lines and spotty cell service...the WNYO boys had to be very creative with multiple cell phones...and smoke signals...

I did something like 3 games subbing for the great John Munson in the 98-99 season. I was absolutely brutal...it was one of the toughest things I've done. Being a father is easier than calling hockey. Jon Garver instantly went from color to pbp. And he's still there now. I still feel like he owes me for my poopyness. My unfortunate phrase of choice that I beat to death was "put the biscuit in the basket".

Potsdam 7 Morrisville 2 Final......Caliguiri with the hat trick...

This surprised me from the standpoint that Morrisville could have clinched a playoff spot with a sweep this weekend. Not a very good effort for a team trying to lock down a playoff spot. Instead, Potsdam greatly improves its chances. Tonight's game will be huge.

My "greatest" moment was when I went to say "far corner" when the puck was quickly put out in front. So, I changed to saying "puck" but had already started the word "far." True story...

My color commentator gave me one of those did-you-just-say-what-I-thought-you-said looks.
