Has Phil Housley Improved his color commentary? Just Brutal!

Okay, we get it already Mr. Housley. We know that Joe Gleason can bring offense from the defensive postion. STOP FREAKING SAYING THAT ALREADY. Mr. Housley, you have uttered that same phrase about 15 times already this game. SHUTUP and stop repeating yourself.

Housley and Welch are both ex Packers. Right? Both lousey coaches. Both have all but destroyed their respective programs. I would have to assume Russ Welch with his "school girl" voice and "childish antics" probably won't shed much more insight on the games than what were stuck with already.. Suggestion? Bob Kurtz & Walley Shaver.

Agree with Wally, How about Frank Mazzaco? If Wally did it then we could listen to him about losing icetime to little kids!

But Al, we still have the Wooger.

Thank GOD we still got The Wooger. He likes a "Bump" now and again.. I like that. The "liquid" lunch bucket mentality. If only his understudies Housley and Welch were paying attention when he was giving class. Coaching 101/Basic Training. Although we would have no need to have this forum. There would be no one else to lamblast-No one else to pick on. How boring would that be? I would rather listen to the game on the Chinese network than listen to Mr. Housley. Any Links??

Pete Waggoner and Bart Archer are awesome on myfoxhockey.com. Maybe a tad Edina biased at times, but tremendous passion and knowledge of the game.

Pauley Ken has really got his team using the Tape on their sticks this year.

Our pony express rider is loaded with the petition, bringing it to the big city. All he needs is the address and a bucket full of oats for his ride. We will get rid of this Housley character even if it means we all have to send him some players so Stillwater can make the tourney.

Anyone have a link so we can send our complaints via that new found E-mail thing?

Every town and/or team has a local radio announcer that could do this better. We as residents of the "State of Hockey" deserve better.

It is punishment listening to Housley's commentating. He doesnt have any enthusiasm with his words and stumbles through every sentence. Not to mention is it too much to ask for to get a name right. (Paul Willie)

I would think this is the most watched event of the year for Minnesota Sports Fans. Yet its got the feel of Public access television. Clay and Phil are only half the problem. Overall Channel 5/45 has really done a poor job with a can't miss event.

Maybe its just me and as I've aged it's lost the luster it once had for me as a child. Or the wrong network obtained the rights.

I think we have a BINGO! Where's Ann Hutchinson? Hopefully FOX Sports North gets it............oh wait you guys hate Gorg too................Maybe KARE11 can get it so we can have Perk at Play. We know what a huge hockey fan Shaver is. Maybe KFAN can get it on the RADIO only and we can listen to Common Man in the morning and Barrerio at night wouldn't that be great?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say while he still isn't very good, he has improved over last year.
