Did they he not have a timeout to use? Pretty cut and dry interference. Moving pick is an easy call.

Miami at 19 in NPI with 3 top ten series in a row giving them every chance in the world to get an at large bid. Forget NCHC coach of the year, Noreen deserves national recognition.

Clarkson ties Quinny with 5 min left in the 3rd.

Sinking the Badgers' NPI while inching Bob back from the chopping block? Yes please!

Hopefully the new coach doesn't treat it like a sinecure.

Wisconsin crashing out....did not see that coming.

McKenna ejected

Bowling Green over Notre Dame is good for us with 2 common opponents plus Big Ten OOC dropping.

Article mentioned he started forechecking

Claims his former Chicago Steel teammates are why he went there. Probably some truth to that. https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/2026/01/transfer-forward-thriving-for-no-1-michigan-hockey.html

In the podcast, Brad talks about getting one of Lin, Carels, DuPont and Rudolph as though one is a foregone conclusion, then says could they get two, then backtracks and says UND would be lucky to get one. I'm taking that as a sign one of them is a silent commit.

Shaugs is noticably small, VV played bigger than his already sizeable stature. What are the parallels between them?

Someone probably read how Penn State offered 700k and the next closest was 300k or whatever MSU offered for an expected generational talent and compared that to how much they spend on football bench warmers and a lightbulb went off.

I can answer via DM, just want to respect the player's privacy online Thinking back, this sounds like Driscoll since we did recruit him but wanted him to wait another year. It is NOT him.

No, this player has come and gone. I think this tactic is more common that we know. By stop gap I meant he filled a role during his tenure. Not a leader or particularly memorable.

Too busy to look them up now, but previous captains under Bryn/Smaby might be targets.

I paraphrased it poorly; it was more "we want you but don't have space this season" and the individual was aging out of juniors. Said player could best be described as a stop-gap once he arrived.

I won't say who, but according to a good college hockey source, one of our portal pickups was told to go elsewhere for freshman year and transfer in once he demonstrated he can hang in NCAA. We could have another situation like that as well. Less likely now given the glut of players eligible but we could (ahem....should) have some leadership already lined up for next year.

I hope the staff is transparent with some of these players about their likelihood of making it to campus. With CHL silent commits and the portal there are a few matriculations I just can't imagine happening.

They are not likely to use goalies for their overager slots, that's why Spunar went from WHL to USHL for his final year of juniors.

There's a lot of schadenfreude for Bwahvare and OMac here but little for Perron; my recollection is JP checked out in early 2nd half and it was an open secret he was going to Michigan. He deserves as much disdain as the others, if not more. It's easier to point and laugh because BU is underachieving, but no need to punch down. Focus that energy on the kid who said he stayed close to home for his sister and then quit for an NIL package that will barely cover the additional travel costs for his family.

Barely snuck by UAA in the previous game too. A weekend in Dinkytown will undoubtedly cure what ails them though.

Especially now that NCHC standings matter for hosting the conference tournament. Glad we are doing well the first year of it

For ASU, that's just the way she goes....

Tech stepped on a mine.
