Nick Blanchard: The new Tim Conboy :-P

Anyone find a Video of this yet?

Looks like the cameras missed it. You can see the aftermath here.

Thanks for finding that!

Question for you, Rat Byte:

When Chuck Kaiton called the game here in Raleigh where Nic (Nick?) played, he pronounced his name “Blon- SHARRRD” – Very French. (This is standard for Kaiton – going with the native tongue pronunciation to the extreme.)

However the local guy on this clip goes with standard English “BLAN-churd”. How would young Nick prefer it?

Just wondering.

Let's go Canes!
Hakkaa Paalle!
