Give it up Lou

I suppose all these Lou Lovers are Doug Woog lovers also. Herb Karneal was a legend for the Twins and I respected him as a Twins Icon, but you have to admit as soon as he took over the mike in his later years the broadcast got less interesting. Same with Lou, A great Minnesota Hockey Legend, but for the good of the game hang it up. Yea all of us "Northerners", are Lou haters. Right. Oh and they put most of the Northern teams in Class A because the Cities teams were getting embaressed because a small school would beat your Jeffersons, Edinas, etc.

couldn't disagree more, he calls it as he sees it, even though he has a grandson on the team, it's gotta be tough to do it as good as him. Im not just saying this because i'm from edina.

Bronco -
Your non-metro teams gave up 18 goals in 3 games yesterday while going 0-3. Thats about a goal against every 8 minutes so don't blame Lou for not having enough positive comments to say about your teams.

Lou has been, is, and will be and awesome asset to the state High School Tourney.
You dont have to love him but can anyone think of anyone who represents total MN hockey more than Lou Nanne.
Former All American, Olympian, NHL player, general manager, coach, father, grandfather.... it goes on. We are very fortunate to have a passionate, knowledgeable, and entertaining man of his stature to listen to for all these years.
Thanks Lou

Why did you draft Brian Lawton ahead of Pat LaFontaine

A guy name Steve Yzerman was also taken a few picks later...ouch. Oh well, Lou was a big part of hiring Brooks to coach the 80 Olympic team; at least in the movie.

Oh and they put most of the Northern teams in Class A because the Cities teams were getting embaressed because a small school would beat your Jeffersons, Edinas, etc.

Opt up, easy enough. As seen in the last few days your AA schools as it is are having a tough time with our schools. DE and Roseau are playing for 5th today and teams like Grand Rapids, Brainerd, and Moorhead didn't impress this year against our cities teams. You have to walk before you run.

I forgot about Yzie!!! I just remembered all the hype about LaFontaine breaking the great Guy LaFleur's juniors scoring records, and I thought, "why are we even considering a HS kid?"...

Let me rephrase it then..

"Louie?? Why the heck did you ever take Brian Lawton #1 overall?"

I agree very much. One game in particular a few years ago I decided that I was never likely to be a fan of Lou Nanne. An outstate team was domnating the much favored twin cities area team except the game was scoreless with the outstaters unable to poke one in in many chances. You could smell the upset, and this would've been a pretty nice upset, in the air. Which when you are watching it, it's like: this is great for hockey, this is what the State Tournement is all about. Well I couldn't believe my ears when Lou Nanne started talking about how it would be too bad if this TC area team with all of their "talent" didn't make it to the finals. In fact according to Lou, it would be horrible for hockey.....and on and on he whent.....all's I have to say is hang it up.

So "when" was it that Lou

on and on he whent..

Does anyone else remember him in fact, saying it would be 'horrible' for hockey or is this a northern interpretation?
Defense, when was this?

Spoiled city f***. You're the type that when an out state team wins the AA and A tourney it's a fluke or poorly officiated game. When the cities teams kill the outstate teams you make references that we shouldn't be in the "Cities" oh I mean Minnesota Tourney. Keep Chirpin about the Northern teams. I knew I should have made CakeEater or HMFan my Login Name.

Bronco -
I sense your not going to tune into listen to Lou cover the Classic Lake Playoff Championship game tonight (a.k.a. the State AA Championship)?
I would have liked to see Hermantown win the A so you're wrong there. AA, I have no choice but to pull for a SW metro team do i?

It bugged me too, when Lou said it. Its true.

I'm not a big Louie fan, but we could do a lot worse.

I suppose Louie is biased. Seeing as how he sees way more metro games than outstate, how can't he be? Although I do remember him gushing about Ness way too much for my taste.

I'm not sure its possible for a Citiot to please a northern guy anyway. They seem to be awful bitter. Must be the short golf season...

Kinda bugs me...

someday it won't be on TV and then what, everyone will say "even the though the announcers weren't as good as i would have liked, i sure do miss seeing it". And remember when "Messier helmets was a sponser, they must have paid money to keep the cameras running. I should have just turned the channel instead of letting that bother me and appreciated it"

I cannot believe people would rip on Lou Nanne.

Love him at the state tournaments and love him on KFAN!

Fun to listen to him straighten out Sid on CCO once in awhile.

I completely agree....I'd like to see Kevin Gorg be the reporter down on the ice...but I suppose it would be an issue, contractually speaking, since he is employed by FSN.

My guess is that he is in Vegas for the tournament
