To add to that, IMO Wings games were best called by Redmond with Dave Strader over Redmond with Ken Daniels. That sucked when he left Channel 50 for the big time.

Melrose knows nothing about college hockey and you can tell. I don't think he knows much about NHL hockey either, but whatever.
Jim Hughson, Dave Strader, and senile Bob Cole are all better than Thorne. Back when Cole had all his faculties (up to about 4/5 years ago) he was the best in the world, by a huge margin.

Why the hate for Gary Thorne?

Why the hate for Gary Thorne? I did pbp of M hockey for student radio about 10 years ago and did a couple of Frozen Fours, and, in watching/listening to various pbp guys to try to get better, I felt like, as far as the mechanics of actually calling a game, there was no one better than Thorne. There are other very good guys, too, obviously. I just thought, as a play-by-play guy, Thorne was/is pretty damn good.
April 7th, 2011 at 6:20 PM |

My favorite pbp guy was Tom Mees, but Gary Thorne is good for a national pbp guy. I like Ken Daniels as well, but I think that had something to do with Redmond in the same booth (my favorite hockey color guy)

Too bad. My non-Michigan friends that care about hockey are all ND fans. I'd love to see M drub ND in the national championship game.
From everything I've heard about UND (NTUND) we need to stay out of the box, so if everything is getting called, that's bad for us. Especially since this isn't a random game before, the referees are all together with the same supervisors in the locker room.

Any time ND fails to make the championship game is a good time, because their fans' egos get inflated when they make it to the finals. Also, you should find new non-Michigan friends. I hear IU fans are cuddly and harmless now that they have the fourth-best basketball program in the State of Indiana.

It's a spread. Basically it means they're favored by 1.5 goals. If you bet Michigan covering the spread, you're saying Michigan will lose by 1 at the most. If you bet the other way, you're saying that the Sioux win by 2 goals or more.
