Remember the old times WNIR they used to announce both team rosters , what a borefest that was, ..hopefully Saturday's intro of players are here to stay ..maybe a trial who knows..
I always thought it was brilliant back then tbh, all the razzmatazz was like a breath of fresh air, especially being a City fan in the days when you had to shout to the nearest guy to you to hear you.
Obviously that buzz has worn off for 99% of people, but the newcomers probably enjoy it.
Slightly off the point but can you imagine what it must have been like for someone like Steve Oliver, who might have been getting 5 mins of ice time at that level to be announced.........# 8 ..Steve Oliver, and he toe picks his way up to the blue line with 2500 fans cheering him. (open to be corrected on name and number) Sorry to pick you out if you are reading Steve. lol
Must have been an incredible buzz for them.
Totally agree about doing away with it all now though
