And now DU takes a legit trip. 5x3 UMD.

That was not a DU penalty. It was a UMD embellishment penalty. Man up buttercup.

You never cheer for officials. Man law.

DU playing as physical as I’ve seen in quite a while.

“ … ice getting better in the Bud… “ Why aren’t the most important games of the season played on the most prepared, groomed ice, meaning ice that’s been in and tended all year.

A. The ice. B. The boards. C. The pipes. D. The glass. E. Giant meteor.

Is Ottawa willing to roll the dice and have him sign a contract with a surgically repaired, untested hand.

I sure wish CollegeHockeyNews.com tracked that and not just “after it happened” transfers. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/playerMoves/

One more time … no matter how they mess with you, keep your eyes on the prize.

Message: Although you are constantly adapting to the environment and headwinds, hawks always keep their heads and eyes on the target.

I'd say DeRidder is the insurance to Hellsten next year and it puts a year gap (all DeRidder has left) between Hellsten and Hedquist. If Hedquist is on board that's a pretty solid plan.

So, given the news about "DeRidder" (aka De Riddler) ...

Sweep the leg.

If I could transplant just 25% of Tyler Kleven's aggression and put it into Judd Caulfield I'd have two so-much-more reliable players ...

Where would this team be with Jasper Weatherby.

7 lost to 9.

Dear Tyler Kleven, Two notions for you to ponder: 1. Luke Witkowsky - NHL talent, but an over willingness to make the big hit and take the dumb penalty with it. At. Every. Level. And he's led an AHL life because of it. I tried to tell him he needed to learn to reign it in, but I guess that fell on deaf ears. (How'd I tell him? I know his billet family during his time with the Fargo Force.) 2. JBD - Eight games. Eight. The rest of the year on the Belleville bus. And you'd be in the same franchise defense corps. You better than Sanderson and JBD? Otherwise you'll just be another one that rides the bus. So, Mr. Kleven, allow me to tell you what I've said before (see above) ... Learn to play within the game while it's still fun and not a job. Thank you for your time, The Sicatoka

I read that as "De Riddler" and saw a goalie mask with question marks all over it.

It's OK, you can say it. We all know it's Budy.

I won't win some hearts and minds here, but I'd be fine if Hain moved on. We need speed and offense more than another bottom six grind, and, yes, that's what Hain is, especially coming off serious injury.

The team needs (in order): offense (a couple guys that create) speed across the board goaltender to pair with Hellsten (and it just might be Hedquist) (late add/edit) a faceoff winning center man, and if that ends up as part of bullet point one, so be it

"old-timer"? Who the < bleep > do you think I am? @PCMor @Rick?

I invite some of you to investigate the 1978-79 and 1982-83 squads.

CHI: 2022 2nd round pick (MIN) [Conditional]* *Conditions: The pick upgrades to a 2022 1st if Minnesota reaches the Western Conference Final and Fleury has at least 4 wins in first two rounds. MIN: MAF for $3.5M (CHI retains $3.5M) https://www.capfriendly.com/trades Fleury has been traded at basement rates for a HOF'er twice in a year.

Dude's got reach and long legs.
