Torts is the Babcock of Mike Keenans.

Because he is hired to be a fixer, a short-term hard reset guy. That's his thing. Philly's team culture post Giroux/Voracek hadn't recovered and needed a shock to the system. Enter Torts. He may get them into the playoffs this year. And he'll be gone before 2027. And Philly management knows and expects that. Torts is what he is.

Say what you will, but you always know where you stand with him; he's transparent. And he has a 2004 Cup ring. Torts sitting (healthy scratch) the Flyer C this week is a ... Dean Blais-esque move. Message sent.

When has one of these "projected brackets" (meaning more than 24 hours before selections announced) been spot-on?

My bracket prediction? Somebody ain't gonna be happy. Most likely cause of great consternation and trepidation? UMass as a regional host and the region's four-seed gets (likely) BU shipped west and 3 or 4 overall shipped east. Next most likely is Omaha as a regional three and host. -
Barry and Bucky were too highfalutin to be in a conference with ... < gasp > ... Mankato. When PSU arrived the B1G was destined and Barry's escape route. Roll it forward and where did Bucky go to get a head hockey coach. Oh the sweet irony.

No, that was Kolanos and Kobasew circa the turn of the century.

The "100%" entries here are a solid clue. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/probabilityMatrix.php -
BC's "Fresh Prince" (Will Smith) is my guess ... east coast bias. Yeah, yeah, he's not in the final ten but he might be more valuable to BC than their guys on the list.

Herzog? No. So many reasons no. First, she's 'DAY not Midco. -
Award renamed: Hobey Blaker

Blake and OMac aren't physically structurally ready for the wear of the next level.

Congrats on your Sisyphean task (until Saturday night at the X is over).

Yet only two words matter: Beat Omaha.
-
If it's about attendance ... UND -> SF DEN -> STL because of easy air travel

No conference match-ups in the first round.

There are only two words: Beat Omaha.

O'Keefe, Hammer, Sweeney, none are young men. Hennessy's not either. Alex is talented and that gets noticed nationally. It's not easy (see Brandt's 7-hour weekend round trips). Soon enough it'll be Jody N on TV and Darren L on radio sitting next to ... TBD ... -

Those are some filthy mitts; he's got the house sauce just right on that dish. (Translated: something about good hands making saucer pass across the slot) -

If this is voir dire I'm using a peremptory challenge against Dean Wilson. Just steal Mike LaMoine from the radio side. -

Not always. Alex moved from GF to SF a few years ago, when he started doing some CBSSN work. And being closer to family (SF) when kids came didn't hurt. -

Dare I say the recruits noted were able to be developed but went elsewhere before fruitition. The right guys are being targetted but not kept.
