It's easy for fans to say he finds another gig. But does he want to leave Anchorage? ECHL radio guys don't exactly make big buck and won't necessarily cover moving expenses from Anchorage to the lower 48.

It sounded like he would be open to moving, his kids have all moved, if he wanted to move the roost he could. Something along those lines I remembering reading on the press release when he got the Aces gig.

How many people does it take to run the Jumbo Tron or whatever the scoreboard is called?
Who is their employer?
Does the rumor that we pay $3,000 a game to have it run have any truth to it?
Anyone have answers?

Another year with no playoffs. Unacceptable.

It might not have been the best performance, but it certainly was the most fun.

We lost to our rivals on home ice, with their fans celebrating in our building. I wouldn't exactly consider that fun.

You can honestly say you didn't enjoy that game? It was a great game! I didn't like the ending, but the game itself was very entertaining. If it's such a problem for you, there's an easy solution. Stay home.

No I didn't enjoy that game, UAA lost, they're on the verge of losing the Governor's Cup again and they got eliminated from the playoffs, not exactly enjoyable. Maybe you don't care if the team succeeds but some of us would like to see some wins.
And no, I'm not staying home. I've been going to games well before you did and will be going long after you stop. And considering the attendance problems, telling people to stay home is not the best idea.

Too bad he can't announce for the UAA team. The guy they have now is quite the homer clown, nothing like Haider who is a top notch hockey announcer. Or better yet, replace the guy at Alaska who not only is an even worse flaming homer, but has the most irritating voice in the WCHA.

Kurt was amazing, but you're right, he was extremely neutral. I have not listened to any other college hockey play-by-play guys who AREN'T homers. Tuttle is better than most of the WCHA guys. And I agree, Bruce has a very annoying voice. When he gets excited his voice goes up several octaves and you can't even understand him.

When they showed you and your daughter on the scoreboard screen, you sure looked like you were having a lot of fun. Lighten up JJ. It's not the end of the world. Some people take sports too seriously. For us, it is winter entertainment. We have friends who we only see during hockey season. It's still enjoyable for us.

It is crazy trying to listen to Bruce when he goes full throttle Peewee Herman when something he thinks is electrifying or he missed and trying to catch up relating the landscape.

I can't believe that only two people were dressed up for the best fan contest. An easy way to get a free round trip ticket on Alaska Airlines. Another one being given away tonight. The "Open Season on the Nanooks" guy, with all the little polar bears in his "net" was quite original!

If JJ stayed home, who else would they show on the scoreboard? Since I've seen him up there multiple times over the season.
Re: UAA `16-17 Let's end this thing with a BANG
Can you not separate the actual gameplay from the "results"? So if we won 1-0 during a horribly slow, choppy, ticky-tacky penalty fest, you would've had "more" fun?

Hate to say it, but if we did make the playoffs here's how we did against Bemidji this season:
at L 1-2 OT, L 0-4
home W 4-1, L 0-1
The at games being the most important, that 4-1 W was an off night for Bemidji considering travel and there late middle of the season slide. Total goals 5-8, we got shutout twice-both being the Saturday night affair.
