The Sicatoka

Yo Tex, a 7-5 EWU would only have six DI wins and their best win per Massey Ratings would be over UND. Pedigree.

Schuster's played in now 2 of 4 allowable games. Skokna has played in 4. Gee was unavailable yesterday. That probably answers that; and, I'll predict Skokna won't dress the rest of the year. My question on RBs is: Has anyone seen Austin Gordon?

I'm waiting for the FCS Massey Ratings to update to get a feel for what truly transpired yesterday.

In the trade, they call that "the money shot".

And it’s since updated. And now other teams that lost have the marker by them. Computer systems need time to replicate data and update interfaces.

I believe the arrow is actually offensive possession.

I’m going to be kind and call this the post Weber hangover. They got the win so they are still alive. But next week must be decisive as it’ll be the most recent thing on the committee’s mind.

We need a coaching staff that isn’t afraid to win by a noteworthy margin.

We need a kicker who’ll make the field goal to go up three scores.

I followed this one on the UND WBB Twitter account. Based on that it was what I call a "bad undapantz" game: They kept creepin' up to the very end; but, things came out OK.

Even this CapFriendly sheet isn't as ugly as Minnesota's, and this one ain't pretty when you look at it.

Will that clear out $20 million in cap space for a retrofit? The only "out" of this for the Wild is a buy-out or two or three, or ... They need to be calling the cap space teams and doing a trade, for example: Suter, a 2021 second round pick, and Wild retain half of Suter's salary for a used puck bag and a coach's whistle missing the pea*. *If you want the whistle with the pea that's a 2021 first round pick (instead of the second round pick).

Ah yes ... the true inverse of the "Ginger or Mary Ann" deliberation.

All of the Minnesota Wild's problems are spelled out here.

< cough > .... Costello? ... < cough-cough >

Yahoo's response:

New reality.

Was Brett Favre on the plane?

... and cash? ... and a player to be named later? ... and a conditional draft pick in a future draft?

OK, you got me there. Bast doesn't age out in 2020 (assuming his team isn't carrying too many over-agers). My brain was using "2021" in the math for some reason.

The Schloss has spoken. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4769533-Signing-Day-arrives-but-three-UND-hockey-recruits-wont-be-inking-Letters-of-Intent And "who's your Budy, who's your friend" ...

Ottawa left Wolanin (Rd4, #107) for three college seasons. What do they do with a Rd1 and a Rd2 ...

Bast is a 2000 YOB. Moore and Miller are 2001s. The phrase "age out of junior eligibility" is in play. Signing Kleven and Sanderson (both 2002s) makes me wonder if we're not at risk of losing four (Poolman, Peski, Kierstad, JBD) at season's end. You'd back fill with Bast (age out otherwise), Moore, and the NDTP guys. (My assumption: Miller would delay.) (That scenario would be messy: Rieger, Gabe Bast, Tychonick, Frisch, and four freshmen. Not much experience on the ice and a bulge in the defensive recruiting cycle.)

The 99s and 2000s will age out of junior eligibility. There's a problem. Bowen and Halliday are 2002s. They'd better show they are truly special to come in at 18. (For every Jon Toews there's a Michael Forney.) As I stare at this more, I wonder more about Randklev, Costello, and Mancinelli. I say that because I started pondering not 2020, but 2021 forward in total (now to then): Need 9, but which 9 from the pipeline.
