North Dakota Postgame 1/23

thanks - fixed it.

The announcer said "Theee TYING Cornell goal" when announcing our first goal with 9 seconds left.  That's my story, and until I hear audio / see video showing otherwise, I'm sticking to it.

Art said as he always does when Cornell scores its first goal at home:  "The Cornell goal..."  Same cadence with no variation!

I have only watched a college hockey game away from Lynah at Starr, but I would guess that we have one of the most reserved (classy) PA announcers anywhere in Arthur Mintz.  When he announces the Cornell starting lineup and Cornell goals, his clear annunciation and staid tone work well because he doesn't upstage the players' celebrations and fans' cheering and also because it is an old-school, traditional style, which echo the program's history and Lynah experience.  Of course, that's almost true by definition, since he's been the "voice" for ages now and is a part of the fabric.

Are there any other rink announcers out there in the same vein?

I do appreciate Art's style of announcing, and I acknowledge that he probably did not change anything and that I'm probably wrong, but I'll keep this notion filed away until I hear some audio evidence, should it ever arise.  If it doesn't, it's of little importance anyway.

I always loved his cadence. It reminded me of Bob Sheppard every announcement.

Some nice comments about their experience at Lynah on siouxsports.com forum. Here's a link to some pix one of their fans posted. Of course they're mostly of the Sioux, but it interesting to see some of our color through their eyes.

Aww, they put a little flag in their hotel room window!  That's so cute.

There's a whole page of links to collections of photos.

My sarcasm detector isn't working right now, so I don't know if you were being serious or not. I think it's a totally sweet idea, and if I ever come into possession of a CU flag, I'll probably do the same thing myself someday.

No no, totally sincere.

The love us, they really love us.

http://forum.siouxsports.com/index.php?showtopic=13438&st=0&gopid=431466&#entry431466 As for the Cornell fans, my word for them would have to be cordial. Very gracious in winning and losing. Cannot believe how many people thanked us for coming, asked us questions about UND, complimented our team, and fans. And one gentlemen who was so amazed at Hakstol's modesty at the booster luncheon, called him a class act. Which he is obviously. It was an all around great weekend, and all Sioux fans should look to attend the Cornell series if it happens again in the future. I will. I enjoyed meeting the other MD Sioux fans for drinks after the game

Not many!!   Most feel that screaming their (minimal) brains out or adding wild voice inflection makes THEM the show.   To me, it just shows me that they're idiots!   The players are the show and that's the way it should stay!!

Arthur, keep up the good work and don't ever be tempted to mimic these mental midgets!!  You exude class and that's the way it should be.

This for some reason reminds me of the sax player leaning out of the window at the fleabag hotel attached to the old Boston Garden.  He serenaded us with "On Wisconsin".  In '73 I think I was a bit jealous.
