harvard game

[scoop85]

As difficult as it is to praise anything related to Harvard, I thought the TV announcers were good. They did not come across as homers and weren't afraid to praise Cornell players. This is my first year watching the games via streaming, so maybe previous posters have commented on this. But this was my first time watching the game.
I've actually been to most of the Lynah East games in person over the past decade, but it didn't work out this year. Hopefully, I'll be there in person again next season.

They were a pleasant surprise, I'll admit. Fully expect tonight's announcers to be gross, but that's my general attitude towards Dartmouth.

The Harvard announcers have always been solid—-along with Grady, best in the ECAC.

Now tonight's guy at Dartmouth? Not so much.

Yes the announcers were quite good. Actually informative about items like the lively boards and predicting the goal reversal.  Not connected to Harvard, just local Boston guys from what the web turned up.  As to the crowd, the announcers kept insisting that it was sold out. Perhaps all the tickets were sold but there were tons of empty seats.  Early in the season.  People aren't back into it yet, plus they jacked up the prices.

Clarkson's announcer are awful. Every time he says the time or the score he says something like "on the Potsdam general hospital scoreboard"

Not as disgusting as the RPI rink announcer calling out the "Dewey Cheathem and Howe" powerplay called every time the opponent is a man down.

Counselor Dewey occasionally showed up in Section 7 in an attempt to enjoy the games vs. Cornell. He was within earshot when I announced the Ruth Bader Ginsburg  powerplays when RPI was a man down.

This was before all the townies were banned from the rink because we are seemingly assumed to be rabid.

Also, where is everyone? Maybe attending the games, since we've played at Lynah and Lynah East so far?

Not used to seeing so few posts on game days.

I was in Monument Valley.  That probably didn't help.  :-)

That councilor is a Dartmouth grad.  You can tell by the Lone Pine Tattoo and the liver that looks like a raisin.
