My nitpick about Vanini is that he uses the word "great" way too many times, making it lose its impact.

I had not noticed, but I will now.

your endless capacity to be made angry by nothing is, in a way, inspiring.

j/k?

I love him. I will grant someone needs to take him aside and explain nobody gives a shit about the Binghamton Rangers.

The Binghamton Rangers ceased to exist after 1997. When Grady was there, they were the Binghamton Senators. Now they’re gone, too.

Is Grady the espn plus guy and Jason the radio guy?

I think we just did, but I also appreciate Grady. We are fortunate to have both a radio and video pbp announcer.

Grady wouldn’t have mentioned it. That would require paying attention. Jason perhaps. Not Grady.

Grady is an excellent announcer. Your comment was bad and you should feel bad.

Unfortunately, Grady spends too many words on random tangents and not enough on the game itself. He needs to track the action better.

I love him. I will grant someone needs to take him aside and explain nobody gives a shit about the Binghamton Rangers.

I think he is capable of being a very good announcer, but at the moment, he simply doesn’t pay enough attention to the game or keep up with the action. The Binghamton Rangers stuff is the worst of all, but there are many other tangents he goes on during the game which have little or nothing to do with the actual hockey being played. There needs to be a rule that he can only bring up these topics during a play stoppage and he must commentate on the action while play is underway. It’s been pretty bad for several years now. I hope he can improve because he seems like a capable announcer and good guy.

He and Vannini have gotten a bit too chatty while the action is going on. He seems to stay better on task doing the women’s games. The young lady from IC who’s doing the color on the women’s games has been quite good for a newbie.

Grady has deliberately moved towards being more chatty. In his stint as the Cornell radio guy he was the second-best PBP man I have ever heard (Dean "Scooter" Vrooman) at any level. I assume he went to the more chatty persona to appeal to the derpier AHL audience.

Vanini is remarkable. His eyesight reminds me of Johnny Peirson on the Bruins' broadcasts. he sees stuff in realtime I have a hard time seeing on replay when I'm looking for it.

Vanini also misses a ton of stuff that's quite obvious from the video.

As someone who can't stand constant blabbermouth sports speak, I'm fine with Tim only talking about the plays he thinks are interesting. Everyone misses a whole lot in hockey which is part of the joy of the game.

When I get home from a live game I often look at particular segments to see what I've missed. And as much as I hate 5 minute referee reviews of plays that depend on camera angles and slomo, I do like to hit pause and watch in slow motion if I am curious about a play.

We are blessed to have two good announcers and two great color guys.

Agreed!! I've hit the mute button to silence these people, especially in the NFL....It makes me crazy!!

Agreed!!! Top on my NFL mute list is Tony Romo. Arguably, he knows a lot, but I don’t care. I just want to enjoy the game. Fans at stadium survive without the endless analysis. Also, too many graphics!

Every NFL playoffs, I last 5 plays and flip it off having remembered why I never watch.

I’ll allow it, for no other reason than it’s something different than the near constant use in sports broadcasting of the word “unbelievable” for anything that is deemed mildly positive

... The Big Red finally wore them down around the midway point of the third. Penney and Devlin both had some crushing hits. There hadn’t been much physicality early on so it was nice to get that part of their game going in time to turn the tide. That opened up the ice for them to find their offensive game.

Just read some Schafer quotes in chn roundup [www.collegehockeynews.com]

"We started getting going and back to playing physical again, which I thought kinda deteriorated for us. And that went in ebbs and flows," Schafer said. "If you don't play physical against them and bump them — they're not big hits, but you better make sure you make contact — and I thought that turned the game a little bit


"Nine freshman lineup tonight. When you look around as a coach and see that many young guys out there against a good hockey team, it just makes you wonder sometimes, like, man, we could be in trouble here. But it was a team effort."

They’re good but just as much homers as anyone else.

Or any Big Ten broadcast.

Jason & Grady are paragons of objectivity by comparison.

ER
They’re good but just as much homers as anyone else.

imo "homer" doesn't mean that you are more excited when the home team scores. it means that you lose objectivity around penalty calls and the relative abilities or moral worth of the teams. in that sense, i think grady and tim are not particularly vocal homers even if they obviously want cornell to do well and their calls reflect that mood.

I'd also say that they do a good job keeping some energy when the other team scores. There are a few broadcasters for other teams that all but drop to a whisper on a Cornell goal.

Where? Show me. Here’s the thread, it’s mainly people making fun of you for continuing to bitterly assert this.

I hated Q winning it because they are an antithesis to what I want out of the league member, and Rand’s a fucking prick.

I don’t know about that thread, but Trotsky certainly overtly rooted for Q, and so did others. Trotsky can answer for himself here. (He justified it with the theory that it would force Schafer to try to win even harder, lol.) After a quick skim I don’t see anybody rooting for or against Q in that thread one way or the other. Not sure why you’re point me to this thread.

Because my memory barely lasts three weeks these days, I decided to go back in this forum to see how people “rooted” for that outcome. If it were true, celebrations or at least “atta boys” would have been apparent in that thread more than any other. Like you, I didn’t see any. You seem to be still fighting a long-dead fight.

The main agenda Trotsky has here is to lob chaos bombs to ruffle the easily ruffled. I’m never surprised when you’re a target.
