Thank you to the folks who up-voted that post. You must've done the math and recognized what that really says.

I see what you did there ...

Sure he is, .... if I'm 6'0".

Mentioning the freshman (Tommy Schuster), I saw picture of Freund and Schuster on Twitter over the weekend. As I suspected, he's Danny Freund's height (nominally 6'1"). Apparently "Michigan Player of the Year" is not as important as "six foot four" to some schools. But it works just fine for me. Tommy, show 'em how wrong they are. Show 'em all.

No love for the Minnesota State - Moorhead Dragons coach?

Man Law But how can Chuck Norris not be on that committee ...

I knew I should've said "independently viable".

So the Canadian Women's Hockey League folding is a sign that women's hockey is viable?

DaveK left here and went to GPL and the average IQ of both boards went up.

Wow. I was introduced to Tim once and didn't know he was 'sprig'. My condolences.

Problems come in all shapes and sizes. To keep the vocabulary simple I'll just say ... Judy's elevators lawn mowers

At first Hakstol had problems in the head job. He was used to being "nice uncle" to balance "tough dad" (Dean Blais). Now "nice uncle" Berry is having to figure out he's the "tough dad". That means making tough calls that not everyone will enjoy hearing. And Brad better figure that out quick as his 2016 goodwill is almost spent.

So he shunned the offer from the Quebec Nordiques?

Um, ... point of order. I've posted a long diatribe about how any one of four teams could leave the Summit and kills its autobid at the same time. But the Summit keeps whistling past the graveyard on this subject. The Summit needs to read the NCAA DI Manual, specifically 20.02.5.2 (b) and figure it out.

BGSU with an own goal.

You can't build yourself up by tearing something else down. Let's focus on improving what we have.

Um ... @MafiaMan ... you got that?

It's going to be Ethan Frisch and I'm very confident in my source and their knowledge of the situation.

Don't give them ideas.

6? Why not at noon like in the past? To make traveling to a regional even more difficult with less planning time?

I’d still swap ASU and OSU putting OSU where it could help Allentown numbers.

I believe Moy’s bracketology at USCHO with one exception: I’d send ASU to Fargo and OSU to Allentown to try to help attendance there.

Make no changes and you have a senior class that can skate their lane and produce nothing. I base that on three years of data. Skate your lane guys are dime a dozen in the USHL and other junior leagues. You have to be that good to get there. But take a risk and at worst you’ll have another lane skater, or you might get something that can also produce at the college level.

He should’ve followed the precedent of making decisions after sophomore years.
