Former EP coach Lee Smith? Did he retire at the end of the season?

One can only hope that ESPN has the Manning cast every week as an alternative.

I love Buck going to MNF! I don't have cable, so I don't get the games, which means (I think) I never have to listen to him on the other Sunday games! *crossesfingers*

I actually backed up a snippet of conversation I heard during one of the games yesterday between the play-by-play guy and Ben Clymer:
PBP guy: What do you think about the third period, Ben?
Clymer: Well, the more disciplined team, and that may not just metastasize itself in staying out of the penalty box, but being more responsible with the puck as well...."
"Metastasize"? Good grief Ben...just when I thought you were getting better at your job you assault my ears with slipshod English and malapropisms.

Even worse, I have to believe that it would take Clymer at least 12 seconds to say the word "metastasize".

Clymer and Parrish must be working on the cheap. Parrish adds nothing to these broadcasts. Although Clymer has some decent hockey knowledge, he tries to communicate it by acting like some Harvard elite English professor. Really wish 45/MSHSL could find someone else to do the color commentary.

Holy commercials!
Radio shows are basically commercials with a few minutes of content in between. I never tune in because of that.

Cardinal on KFAN for the next hour
Aloha!
Cardinal on KFAN for the next hour
Hope he has a better take on the team than this one 
They are most likely going to the miss the NCAA tournament in a season where they brought back nearly everyone, finally had an older team (by Gopher / Big 10 standards) and added multiple high-end freshmen. After this season, they are going to lose a ton of players and revert back to being very young unless they go the North Dakota route and dive into the transfer portal, which seems like something Bob doesn't want to do. And the goalie situation is a total disaster.
Granted not all of this is any one person's fault, and they've for sure had some tough breaks, but this team was failing to live up to expectations long before this last week where things really went south.

I know the wink is intended to add a little bit of "Hah! I'm not totally serious". That being acknowledged, this is another example of why I'm glad I'm not in the media or public eye, where anything I've ever said or written might be dug up later to discredit or at the very least, poke fun at any opinions that, in hindsight (when things are 20/20), weren't correct. How many of us, in mid-January, actually believed Close & Co. would play as well as they have and make the Frozen Four?

We have all had bad takes including me, which I've been called out on here numerous times. That is part of commenting on boards online. I will also concede that peoples opinions can change or evolve over time. He has the right to have his opinion and I have the right to have a different one and you have the right to defend him. As someone who has been called complacent on this site by the the negative nellies for having faith in this team when things aren't going well, I just wish people would let the season play out before burying this team in January. I'm just an eternal optimist. His take strictly wasn't about Close taking over, it seems he did not like the direction of the Gopher program. It is always a tug of war battle on this site between the people who always are looking at the negative and those of us who try to see things on the bright side. I think for those of us who didn't jump ship earlier, the beer will taste a little better when we are in Boston, win or lose.

We all have had the occasional opinion over the years that doesn't age well.
But that's why it pays to be in a more balanced state of mind when you throw an opinion out there. Speaking from experience, it is usually during an overly emotional moment where the "bad" takes tend to occur.
When you are in a calm state of mind, you are probably stating things in a more balanced way. You can usually see that things aren't necessarily as bad as you think (or maybe not as good too).
This was one reason why I liked to avoid posting on the message boards right after a tough game/series since the emotions tend to be running high and comments will probably fall in line with that.
To be fair, cardinal was burying the team after the Michigan loss in the Big Ten Title game.
I liked Vosters when he has done Gopher games. Big shoes to fill in Chicago.

Given where they were at the PWR at the time I thought it was ludicrous to write them off for the tournament, but no big deal it's just an opinion.

It's the old adage of sorts. Make a prediction, and if you're wrong, you're wrong. But if you're right, then ZOMG GENIUS TAKE! NO ONE SAW THAT COMING!

This is a big f-ing deal for HE and college hockey in general. All M & W game now available nationally on a platform that is easily available.
It may even be a bigger deal for women's hockey.

My Xfinity channel 963 had a golf show for roughly the first period, as well.
Holy crap! Everyone was okay. Lucky that truck didn't go over the side onto 65 below.
