Houser and Ben Clymer are terrible.

They just talk about nonsense during the game instead of
doing play by play. My nephew had the puck on his stick alot
during the game and they never even mentioned his name because
they were telling some stupid story.

This thread has potential.

I've found this to be quite common, especially on the high school games shown on FSN during the regular season. These announcers just tell random stories rather than providing a play by play. It can definitely be frustrating at times.

is this the official 2013 housleyism thread?

I hope they aplogize to your nephew. I hope you're not scared for life?

Kids work hard all year to get to state and the tv guys cant even
provide play by play?

Mule farm-get a life you donkey

whats the johnny on the spot count so far?

Just be thankful for the stupid 2 class system. Your nephew would just be getting home from the batting cage if it were not for this watered down hockey tourney known as the class a bracket.
Clymer and housley are not play by play guys so their role isn't to mention how many touches your nephew had. What did he do when he had the puck? Anything worth mentioning?
I feel bad for the tv guys on the quarterfinal day it's widely known that 4 of the teams will struggle to get a solid scoring opportunity let alone a goal and they can't just speak their mind and say their are 4 good teams in class a and rest at just ok or worse. Clymer and housley were probably two of the best hs players in the country when they were 17-18 so it's probably harder than you think for them to relate to and comment on the level of hockey that they are forced to watch.

Agreed. The A tourney is terrible especially the first day. 45 just goes for the brand name for coverage. I think it was a real loss when Tory Holt was reduced to interviews in girls coverage. He'd have been as asset on play by play.

This Torry Holt?

Wonder if we could do any worse having this as a sort of dream job reward for a couple of top students at Brown?

Seriously.

No, it's not.

Thank you for your input. However, I'm pretty sure we've heard enough of this argument. The great thing about the USA is that we have a wide variety of television channels that you can watch instead of this "watered down hockey tourney" you speak of.

Can someone tell us why they keep saying "Rochester Lord" instead of "Rochester Lourdes"?

Must be religous I guess.

Because the 's' is indeed silent.

Not because of religion. It's because it's French. For the Frogs - Paris is Paree. However back when I was in HS we played Lourdes in most sports. They were Lourdes back then.
