Hey Rogie-


1. The entire games are available indefinitely for replay on BTN2Go. What's that you say? The entire world does not subscribe to the Big Ten Network? Sorry, the B1G cannot hear you over the sound of all the football and bouncyball cash jingling in their pockets.

2. PB (Paul Braun) has been the TV voice of Wisco Hockey for 40 years. At this point he's essentially Badger Hockey's version of the Cub's Harry Carey, so it doesn't really matter what he does. Since he broadcasts on Wisconsin Public Television which, until the invention of the internet (something PB may not yet be aware of ) was pretty much only available in Wisconsin, and there are no other D1 hockey teams in Wisconsin, his Wisco stories haven't been a big issue. He's sort of an institution even though he calls Tim Davison and Adam Rockwood David-son and Lockwood. God knows who's name he murdered on your roster. Like all real Badgers I love PB, but I usually listen to the radio voice of the Badgers, Brian Posick on WIBA who's excellent and the real heir apparent to former Badger Hockey announcer, Hall of Famer and longtime voice of the LA Kings, Bob Miller. Not that that is helpful for you guys to know now.

Thanks, Wisko. Quite a few leading internet providers (Comcast, Fios, Optimum, Cox) support BTN2Go. The archived games have edited out the TV timeouts and between-the-periods interviews, etc. And thanks for the PB backstory. Still no highlights posted.

I'm watching the 2nd game and the announcers just pointed out that BU's first line has 68 points. The entire Wisconsin roster has 70. :eek::eek::eek:

What a difference a year makes. (Oh, and that guy wearing #9.)

What he means is... 'my team is no longer dropping passes at the blue line for the other team to pick up and go the other way.'

Look at the schedule. When we beat some quality competition, then you can crow. Until then, BC is a middle of the pack team. 'Nough said.

Listen, you all know the first-line strategy: Just circle Eichel with all your players so he can't pass. Then you'll win the second-fourth lines.

The above was at the start of the game. At the end of the night it was 78-70, BU first line over Wisconsin roster.

You beat me to the punch - I was going to find that post and say something to the effect of "thanks for lighting a fire under Colin."

Good to see him contributing.

On a related note, are either Bonino or Nieto hurt? Haven't seen them on the scoresheet much in some time.
