I could see DU have some pro signees in a couple weeks.

I’ve said for years I don’t want hockey to become soccer, meaning 1-0 or 2-1 games. Well, here’s why. DU won on a bad bounce that was 33% of the goals in the contest.

Yes, Nigel.

Infinity plus one?

… day ain’t over yet.

Who can score on Ryan Fanti? Ryan Fanti.

This DU/UMD game smells like OT1 in Fargo a year ago already.

May I offer two words for college hockey, especially my team: On. Net. A million miles an hour wide is worthless. On net opens plethora more potential outcomes.

I’m surprised the NCAA hasn’t mandated full cages for officials yet.

Net front presence (both ends of the ice) and puck luck.

Since a 2007 Cup Finals appearance.

DU expended a ton of energy. They need to get the next goal or they’re in trouble.

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) ...
