My complaint with PASS play-by-play man Larry Oosterman (sp?) is that he fails to realize that his medium is television. He talks way too much. It sounds as though he is doing a radio call, announcing that the players are skating from left to right, that shots are going behind the net, etc. He needs to remember that a picture speaks a thousand words, and that the primary role of a TV play-by-play person is to call out the players names. Too much detail is a distraction, thus making PASS broadcasts almost unbearable to sit through. As for NESN's Bob Norton, John Haeussler is right in calling him the John Madden of college hockey. It's not just because they're both funny and of a common girth :). Like Madden, he knows the game and the players as well as anyone. Likewise, the players know him, referring to him as "Mr. Norton." For my money, he's the best color man in the business, and makes NESN's broadcasts very enjoyable. Now can someone tell me how I can find an outlet broadcasting this weekend's games so that I can listen to these guys? Edward N.
