At this point in his career, if Tommy Schuster can't recognize a wrong play for the situation facing him across scrimmage and adjust at the line, we have a multidimensional problem, meaning, why can't he, and why hasn't he been coached to be able to? I'm pretty confident Tommy is smart enough to adjust at the line. Is he allowed?

That's too bad, because fans want to know and the answer doesn't give anything away.

Webster saw the freight train coming at the last minute and pulled the rip cord. That lowered his head relative to the ice. That said, a player is still responsible to not contact an opponent's head.

Say you are the grand old place of higher ed-juh-muh-kay-shun, "Whazamattah U," ... and the WAC calls ... and you know NMSU, SHSU, and McNeese State have all bailed on the WAC, you jumping in with both feet?

Whispers of Missouri State and/or UT-Chattanooga abound ...

I suspect the MAC invite was both or neither.

Use the CHN page. It's far clearer. Team W L OTW OTL UND 2 0 0 0 SCSU 1 0 1 0 W=3; L=0; OTW=2; OTL=1. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/standings.php

Has the HC or OC ever been asked in a presser: How much autonomy, ability to change the play, does Tommy have? Same question, but Quincy, too.

Big news for DU ...

Getting someone to write out a check to you is hard. Convincing someone to make an investment that is mutually beneficial is a much easier task. Try it with your neighbor: "Hey, buy me a new mower!" or "If you buy a new mower I'd be willing to fuel it, do oil changes, and mow both of our yards until the wheels fall off it."

So SCSU gets UNO minus basically a starting five.

News about the rest of the NCHC ...

Look at the jersey in the image: clearly a blue chippah ...

Correct.

Approval to take care of that came just recently. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/7267221-UNDs-Memorial-Village-project-moves-forward-with-possible-spring-construction-timeline

Looks like Drew Montgomery (Dane's brother) just committed to CC.

Agree.

Fifteen minutes could save him fifteen percent or he could call the Emu ... and Doug or he could call the Motaur and Flo. I swear those are the only commercials on anymore.

This is a trap weekend.

To quote sport radio guy Tony Bruno, " ... but aren't we all?" Tony's other great radio line, "And if you're scoring at home, .... congratulations, it's early."

No, the greatest was Pizza Corner out of Valley City before Dave Zubrod sold out the frozen side of the business to some MN/WI company. Thank goodness the original storefront is still there so you can still get a Spoiler or a Manhandler.

What'd I learn Saturday: - DU's top guns get frustrated - We may have another shutdown like (ala the Famous Names and the Heavy Line). - Griffen Ness may come off the side of a milk carton (he might be able to cover a shut-down role if needed in future) - Louis Jamernik self-nominated for future C/A consideration: Play the role (grind). Shutdown some top guns. GWG. Defend your captain.

Frisch is more C. Poolman or Kierstad. Discuss. (He's not JBD and I'm good with that, and I don't think any of those are T. Poolman)

NCAA Ice Hockey Rule Book, Rule 8.1 (paragraphs 4 and 5): First Bolded: Did Denver have possession of the puck when Mayhew was down? Second Bolded: Senden was utterly defenseless on the ice. (Was he conscious when he landed?)
