And what's a zambini???!!!
Yes it was great! I heard only on-off spells until 10.00 and then heard the whole of overtime as I drove back from work.
Typical! When I arrange to get period by period scores phoned in to me - GMR do full commentary!
Jack Dearden did really well considering he hasn't seen that many games before.
A funny bit was in overtime when Andy Costigan said, "...and some of the Nottingham fans are taking the mickey out of my commentary...!"
Lets hope GMR keep it up - I believe it was their first ever full commentary game for ice hockey. When I spoke to Andy Buckley he did promise that if Storm reached the B&H semis there would be top coverage - so here's hoping!
We've got quite a few Tuesday games coming up soon, so lets hope there's no football on them.
And most importantly PHONE AND WRITE TO GMR AND TELL THEM HOW GREAT IT WAS!!!!!!!!
