Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

Unsat...

Seriously, the #1 College Hockey team in the nation is not televised, while I could flip thru the channels at any given time and find a dozen programs featuring teen moms, midgets, homosexuals or even basketball??? :confused:

This country is going straight to hell. :rolleyes:

Don't get me started!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

What are people not seeing? What is there not to love about college hockey!! God I hate bouncyball, squeekyball, timeoutball, whineyball, **** it, now I'm ****ed off! I self started!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

No TV this weekend. This is only the 2nd series of the year in which none of the games are televised or videocast by DU. The other was UMD on the road. In total only 6 DU games all season have not been televised or videocast by DU. I guess we will all be listening to Jay and Sandy.

Jay will probably be flying solo without a net as I don't think Sandy Clough travels for the broadcasts. I hope I'm wrong though -- Sandy really adds to the broadcasts.
 
Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

According to this link, http://www.b2tv.com/upcoming_events.asp?q=s&value=hockey, it looks like the game will have internet video for $7. How are the broadcasts this year? Worth the $7?

I've purchased a few of them this year. So far, I haven't had a broadcast that didn't work or was interrupted. In years past I have had trouble, but the company was very quick to return my money in those cases. The only issue I've had this year is that they don't exactly start the streaming "on-time," so I'll miss the first couple of minutes of the game waiting for the link to purchase and then enter payment information. The broadcast is the local Mankato crew from Bethany Lutheren College in town--I believe the same broadcast that is ran on the local cable co.

It is a VERY low resolution broadcast via B2, so if you are looking for even SD TV quality, you will be dissappointed. I've loaded it up on my 42" LCD TV at full screen mode and it isn't terrible--just slightly worse than a Center Ice SD TV broadcast that I'm stuck with most times (or Gopher games broadcast in SD TV on FSN). It is hard to follow the puck at times, but it hasn't been a choppy feed by any means and the audio is decent.

If you do purchase the game, I recommend closing the embedded browser broadcast in which it first launches; then, use the reconnect instructions they send in email with the purchase confirmation to view. That launches it in the full Windows Media Player client. So yeah, you'll have to use MS Windows to view, too (unless you have a Linux hack/player that plays Windows media--it might be out there, I'm not sure?).

Sorry about the sweep a couple weeks ago Minn St. but you can return the favor by sweeping Denver this week then you probably won't have to play UW again in the playoffs. Do we have a deal?? :P

Thanks, much appreciated. I'll give it a try.
 
Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

College Hockey has never felt the love from the video game community, so underappreciated! Many of us up north fans would love to see it.
A quick note, MSU-Mankato has an Olympic Bronze Medalist...Congrats to Nina Tikkanen! Hope Backes and crew top the podium on Sunday.
 
Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

DU can clinch the MacNaughton with a sweep in Mankato and have the presentation at Magness when cc comes to town.

Despite some horrifying memories from previous DU-(di)MSUM games. I'm rooting for a DU Sweep!
 
Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

Friday: 8-7 Mankato, DU gives up a 4 goal lead in 3rd period.
Saturday: 1-0 Denver, Cheverie shines again...
:D

Awww, they aren't going to have the cup ready for the team in Mankato? Too bad, as it would be as close to the trophy the Mavs will ever be.

I wonder why DU might want the MacNaughton presented while playing CC :p ;)

It's tough on Jay. He has to lug that "mostdangerousleadincollegehockey" clock on his back. And it's a b***h getting that thing through airport security these days.
 
Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

Have you heard that Stastny and Backes are playing today?
You know, in that "warm up" game before DU vs MSUM.
Here's to them and Team USA!!!

USA!
USA!
USA!
 
Re: Denver comes to Mankato - 2/26-27

I know DU fans will find humor in this:

The Tigers have gone a pedestrian 5-7-0 since Jan. 1
