2/9/13 Skating away on the thin ice of a new day! SCORES!!

Re: 2/9/13 Skating away on the thin ice of a new day! SCORES!!

I don't always use sarcasm, but when I do it's in a Division III hockey thread. :D
 
Re: 2/9/13 Skating away on the thin ice of a new day! SCORES!!

I was really happy with the way the NSN technical people got things fixed at Krietszberg last night. And of course George and Tanner were their usual topshelf performers.

Bears sweep! Sorry I had to interject....haven't been able to say that for a long time. It's an early spring this year as the Bears have come out of hiberation. Not trying to gloat, let me enjoy this for a bit!
good for you,your a loyal fan, but lets hope they go back to sleep come fri when Oz comes to town,,,,but I doubt it
 
Re: 2/9/13 Skating away on the thin ice of a new day! SCORES!!

Sorry but the whole whinning over NSN is really pathetic, especially from some who have been around before the old USCHO/Maine3 Cell Phone network. You are watching a FREE hockey game. Unless you are sponsoring the show or paid some $$$ to watch, sure it sucks but its better then nothing. I love how people like to nit pick and "slam" broadcasts when its FREE. Or when its a student run broadcasts and its not "up to par" with Oswego (who is?). Sure Plattsburghs broadcast (after they FINALLY started doing it) has had its nights...so what its FREE! The way I look at it....**** happens. Now if I had to actually PAY to watch the game id expect a high quality no buffering presentation. Sure I've listened and or watched some college run and "professional" broadcasts and laughed at some of the things said, everyone makes mistakes. Even Ducky makes mistakes and Im sure George has as well. Heck the Fredonia broadcasters were calling last weeks win over Plattsburgh "the biggest win in Devils history"...9 times out of 10 you're dealing with broadcasters who only know of their team and their teams conference at most (and that's a stretch). That's one reason why guys like Uticas Ray Biggs and going back some but Ryan Maloney are/were great to listen to. They pay attention to the WHOLE DIII.

But in short, unless you're paying to watch/listen to a game be thankful you have ANYTHING. And if there is a problem, use your head. If you're seeing a problem, don't ya think they see it too? And if broadcasters are being "idiots" for not pronouncing names correctly, have a chuckle but remember they are usually a bunch of kids doing something they enjoy. Some people don't take it as serious as others. Be glad you have something. Id rather hear a mispronounced name then wait till 10:00pm to find out if a team won or loss and how....

Charlie was over at the rink at 10 am working with NSN and transvideo to diagnose the issue. Hope yesterday's broadcast was improved.

If trans-video has something to do with it, you just never know...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

To add to what Remy said, you could pay to see games on Fast Hockey with no commentary and one lame camera where you can barely see the game.

+1 Well said and right on target...
 
How could you argue that Fredonia's regular season win over Platty isn't the best win in program history?

I mean, it has to be bigger than the National Semi Final they won. At least bigger than the 2007 SUNYAC Championship victory in Platty.

Sarcasm is fun for all.

I am glad you put that last line in there or UCBadger might have missed it.

Also don't forget the 2007 semi-final win over Oswego as well as the 2011 win also over the Laker's. Although Remy would tell you that it was more Oswego tanking than Freddy winning.

When it happens year after year I call it a pattern....I think Plattsburgh has been knocked out of the SUNYACs as the higher seed twice since oh um ever. They've won the SUNYAC more times as the 4th and 5th seed more then they've been bounced as the higher seed. As I said in the other thread, a team with that much talent, a .825 + winning % should have more then 1 SUNYAC trophey and 2 Pathfinders....(again that's if the seniors don't get it done this year)
 
Re: 2/9/13 Skating away on the thin ice of a new day! SCORES!!

I was not disagreeing with you at all. As a matter of fact I agree with you 100% and Oswego is showing many of the same patterns that have led to their demise in the last few post seasons.
