Women's Frozen Four not televised.

[PatrickHenry]

I'm sorry but as a woman hockey fan I'm outraged. Not televising the women's Frozen Four, where is the Title IX equality in that??? I feel the NCAA should bundle the women's hockey contract with the men's. Whoever buys the men's should have to air the Frozen Four games in the same manner that they do the men's. Let's face it, women's hockey is a growing sport and could benefit from the exposure. Look at how well the Women's World Cup did for Soccer worldwide.

The goofiest thing is that the game wasn't televised, but there were TV timeouts. I couldn't figure that one out.

it was tape delayed and will show this coming Sunday on NBC I believe. here it's channel 7

at least it's coming into view...even the USA Russia game was tape delayed for a few hours.
hopefully it wont take 36 years to show it live on a real station

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.

The game is on CBS next Sunday at 1 central time.

No, seriously, it is.

One good thing about the stream is it's generally available. If it was on ESPNU there would be lots of people who couldn't get it.

CBS is scheduled to show the game Sunday at noon central time. The reason for the TV timeouts.

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.

hahaha
it's on nbc or cbs at noon or 1
but we all think it's Sunday

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.

Except that it's possible for a tape delayed game to cut away for commercials and come back without missing anything even if you don't have TV timeouts during the live game.

I thought Scott Sudikoff on play by play did a better job this year than what we had the last couple years.

play-by-play guy , I like to sync up your audio with the video stream during games that you are not doing the call for the video.

But sometimes, like this weekend, the video is ahead of the audio rather than behind it, which means you can't sync them up. Do you have any idea why the audio was so many seconds behind the video stream this weekend?

It was shown live via NCAA.com with commercials.

And as for the men's USA vs Russia match it was tape delayed on US broadcasting but many in the US watched it live via the CBC.

THANK YOU Canada.

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.

I agree 100%, the game should have been on a national TV deal real time not a tape delay.
The MN governor tried to get the NCAA to let a local TV station pick it up but the NCAA contract wouldn't let them.

Whomever the color guy is for the CBS broadcast, he was wearing the CBS logo jacket, kept asking if I'd seen Bobby Carpenter anywhere......yea, like wake-up!

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.

The woman that broadcast the games the last two years may have been the worst broadcaster I have ever heard in my life, including the guy who used to broadcast the high school games when I lived on the Iron Range.

Sunday I noticed a certain preference for one of the teams by the broadcaster. Any chance he's from out east someplace?

I liked the guy (don't remember his name) who did the games with AJ Mleczko. AJ, not so much. I remember her going on and on about UNH winning 200 games in a row (exaggeration duly noted) back in the 70's or something in an attempt perhaps to diminish the Gophers winning 49 in a row after beating BU in 2013. UNH must have beaten a lot of pretty good intramural teams back then.

Even the guy who did the games with AJ butchered the pronunciation of some of the Gopher player's names, though. They all do, except for the Gopher play-by-play guy, of course. He's the best. We tried to listen to him too, on one computer with the sound off on the other, but the difference between the play-by-play and the action was just too great so we gave up. I'll listen to Dan Hamann's broadcast of the games some other time.

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.

Late to the party is all some of the "Foundation" teams should say in response to your 'Intramural" comment.....for when UNH, Harvard, Northeastern and Brown,and Providence,(that I remember) actually had women playing hockey, the West was some 2 or 3 decades asleep! In fact, Coach Russ McCurdy was known to ask recruits to look at other programs, so as to give the player more ice time, and help build up the other programs.....so maybe it wasn't equal to a Four Nations competition level but to diss UNH because you're upset with AJ dissing the Gophers 49.......DC can give you the first person account......btw, if you want a good female announcer, start with Erica Lawler on the microphone....she does the Buffalo Beauts games and rocks it.....

U of MN had women playing club hockey back around 1981 or so, I know because it was the ONLY time I have ever bought food at college hockey games (to check out the cute girls in hockey jerseys selling food to raise money so they could play) apparently they secured some of their equipment from the men's team that was no longer needed

also there were girls playing in the early 70's in leagues where I lived

maybe someone here knows the history better

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.

When UNH was still a club sport, I used to get in nets for them as they were on the ice after we practiced....around '76'...just a glove, waffle, stick and my Timberland boots....there was a girl on the team from Minnesota....as you say pokechecker, cute and blonde, but she insisted on shooting for the upper right corner! D#$% her......

I'm no internet expert and have no idea why this would be so. But a good question which I will try to figure out.

Thanks for listening...or at least trying to.

why do you people out west always have to find something to whine about? Jesus you are so bad. I never knew everything in MN and WI was so perfect. are you serious? can't you just be happy with your great team's win and find something good to write about. My God you're feeding into the west arrogance so badly...all of you.

"a certain preference for one of the teams by the broadcaster." really? was 3-1 not good enough you have to complain about an announcer? i'm sure the towels in your bathroom have all of the lines match up while hanging.

WOW

When you are used to dom perignon ripple can be tough to swallow, sorry. OTOH you may be making more of it than we are. It not that we can't listen to the other just that we would like the broadcast to match the quality of the game.
