The Sicatoka

Kierstad (jr); JBD (so, and 1st rd pick).

Do we know yet what will be needed for defensemen next year. In my mind it's anywhere from two to four.

Meet the just announced CCHA. Yes, CCHA, Central Collegiate Hockey Association. So does the NCHC pass the "no good dirty money-grubbing ruining college hockey jerks" baton to the CCHA now or in the fall?

Hmmmm .... that rings a bell ... late 1990s, same M.O. ... wore purple ... from somewhere in southern Minnesota ... now who was that ... hmmm ...

BSU, MTU, and NMU are not hurting the MSU-M cause.

Having UND, UMD, and ASU as your non-conference works in your favor.

I know PWR is what matters most right now, but KRACH is telling a story. In KRACH it's the top two, the next three, and then a schmazel from six to sixteen. And lurking in that schmazel is a team that's quietly risen to KRACH7: Beware the Beavs. They're quietly on quite a run.

And the announcement of the announcement was brought to you by RydellCars.com

Yeah, so what. Bill Watson will score on him for Duluth.

More importantly, the CHN predicter has UND at 98% of #1 overall. But just like a power play opportunity, it don't mean nothing unless you do something with it. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/probabilityMatrix.php

@jimdahl You're killing me man! The site hasn't updated yet today.

When your conference performs like this it can not be good for any team's PWR.

Go to the Twitter page, there's a longer video there also showing how everything set up.

How is Mich/Mich St not on BTN tonight.

COVID-19 causing ... a stick shortage? https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/article-chinas-manufacturing-shutdown-has-nhl-players-strapped-for-sticks/ Bring back Christian Brothers sticks made in Warroad!

I'm fine with a teammate trying to prevent the "matching minor" from being given. I'm fine with Thome being the guy as long as the puck is under control and play is stopped before. (First things first.)

About Brink: Was Smith going for the poke-check. Yes. Was Smith intentionally (key word, see above) leaving his feet to go into Brink's legs? No. Did Brink turn his back to an attacker? Yes. Watch the replay. The big problem is Brink caught the toe of a skate because he really wasn't back on balance after the initial twitch of balance that threw him off. If the toe didn't catch, Brink goes down, Brink hops up, and Brink hammers the next pass that comes his way. How it is now, I wish him a speedy recovery. (It's not good for the league to have injured stars.)

Why did it seem like the puck was hopping off or slipping off of everyone's stick this weekend? Caulfield had "Crisco-stick" a couple times in front. So did a couple defensemen. Mitchell for DU had it at (for them at least) the worst possible time.

WRONG. NE Region (at Conte Forum): BC, AIC, BobbyMo, Beacon Hill Mite AAAs

Not intended to disrespect anyone, but reality is in the 12 hours from the end of the last PWR/autobid implications game to the bracket announcement most predicted brackets will be wrong. I put these predictions in the category of "future FBS conference alignments" predictions made by some others, meaning I'll look at them but know they have a rounding error's chance of reality.

How 'smart' are the Let's Go DU! folks? Let's just say they failed Parody 101: The guy who "hates Fords" and is a Chevy guy ... is sitting in an early 1970s Ford F-150. PS - Gopher fans immediately knew that truck photo was wrong because there are trees in the background.

The only thing that makes DU "high class" is that their lecture halls are at altitude (or that Colorado legalized weed).

How about this: Malcolm Agnew's father Ray Agnew is director of pro personnel for the Los Angeles Rams. He's moving to a better climate and closer to family (and who knows what next opportunity).

It's on their football field.

Why do people get wound up when it's -40 wind chill. Once it's -10 you can't feel any of it anyway.
