LSSU vs. NMU first team to 2 goals wins.....
- Thread starter AnchorsAway
- Start date
You sound like Truth Squad.
There's one in every crowd. And this one's better than the Truth Twins. He's had four different names and only knows half as much about the game.

Re: LSSU vs. NMU first team to 2 goals wins.....
Listening to LSSU's radio guy on B2 is pure torture.
Every time an NMU player touches an LSSU player, he cries "penalty", and LSSU has never deserved a penalty, from what I can tell. He's as big of a homer Hawk Harrelson from the White Sox, absolutely obnoxious.
I guess it just makes me feel all the more lucky we have Dave Danis....

I agree and take back a lot of the stuff I said about him last night. He got worse with his *****ing on Friday, tonight was unreal. Dude needs to get off it.
Also, it sounds like hes in a closet.

LOL. You thought he was a good announcer on Friday night, but now you take it back?

It sounds like they are defending ccha ref's to me. That's something that I would never have expected from either teams fans.

I missed Friday night's game, but I thought Saturday's officiating was okay. The only play that baffled me was when there was a delayed penalty, NMU scored, and they still got the power play after that. I guess I don't know the rule.

I know NMU got robbed of an icing call late in Saturday's game.
I was very surprised Doan didn't get the start for NMU Saturday. Is he really bad in practice like Ravn is for the Lakers?

Re: LSSU vs. NMU first team to 2 goals wins.....
In the CCHA:
NMU is #1 in Penalty minutes and #11 on the PK.
NMU is #10 in scoring and #10 giving them up.
So, that being said, whether the officiating is good or bad or NMU's offense and defense are capable or not, they have a lot of work to do and a lot of ground to make up in the standings to make something of this season.
Whether a goaltending change would help or not, I don't know. But, some kind of adjustment seems in order at this point.

Re: LSSU vs. NMU first team to 2 goals wins.....
No defending of refs...I thought some calls were bad, some were good, like a pretty average night in the CCHA, to be honest.
But the whining and crying by the play-by-play guy was so over the top and melodramatic. It was unbearable. It's not like he was complaining about the officiating as a whole, but just the penalties against LSSU and any contact that didn't get called on NMU.
At one point I recall him saying something like: "That is the FOURTH penalty in a row on LSSU, UNBELIEVABLE", pause, then say: "Penalties are now four a piece." He also complained about several penalties, then admitted he didn't see them.
What's the whole point of announcing if you're just going to spout your inner monologue rather than actually narrate the game with some type of realistic analysis?
On another note, LSSU looked a Hell of a lot better than NMU for most of the weekend. This is especially true of the goaltending/defense. I suspect NMU really needs the time off to regroup after this weekend.

Re: LSSU vs. NMU first team to 2 goals wins.....
I don't know . . . I guess I'd be more worried about NMU's team on the ice, than about the LSSU announcer's obvious dislike for NMU.
And for the record, Crawford has taken a lot of heat over the years for being not biased enough towards LSSU. I suspect he just doesn't care for NMU. And what do you expect? We're supposed to be rivals. Its almost funny that a few NMU folks are upset that the broadcaster for their rival school, calling a game between the two rival schools, is biased. Again,what did you expect.
And for the record, again, I am in that class of person who likes a good biased announcer. I like the Hawk in Chicago because he's so over the top. You can listen to bland Mario Impemba and his thousands of clones call game after game, and you can't tell the difference between Detroit, Pittsburgh, baseball, basketball, or soccer. Nothing wrong with personality. It can't all just become bland, corporate, non-offensive, white-bread, stale . . .

Re: LSSU vs. NMU first team to 2 goals wins.....
I know I haven't made any friends in Ann Arbor when when their fans pick up the NMU feed! Each local broadcaster generally will sound a bit biased simply because he is far more familiar and far more emotionally invested in his own program. If I were to call a Bemidji St vs. Ferris State game for an independent network sometime in the future. I'd sound very neutral. Northern vs anyone for an independent network, I'd still sound a bit biased simply because of familiarity with NMU and it's history. I'd probably sound slightly biased with Tech or LSSU against anyone else, or a CCHA team against a team from out East. Bill has taken a bit of heat from some who don't find him biased enough toward LSSU. I root root root for the Wildcats, but when it comes to what is actually happening on the ice, I try to be as honest as possible. For my money, Bill is a pro and a pleasure to share the press box with.I don't know . . .
