No, but broadcasts are better quality every year and more easily scrutinized. The last few times a goal was called back in games I was watching, I knew there would be a challenge if a goal was scored. The Fargo Screwjob will never stop stinging, but it did result in a rule change defanging challenges.

Reviewing allows refs to err on the side of onsides and not blow an exciting play dead. Waiting for verification is the price we pay to have fewer whistles and more action. My biggest (but certainly not only) gripe with soccer is how anytime there's an exciting break they blow it dead for offsides.

What's the NHL rule for this? Really odd to restrict timeouts. Agreed on the strategy aspect, not a fan of this change at all.

Throwing money at some players likely did not sit well with others. Gadowsky's son had one of the sharpest drops in recent memory too.

That article mentions their childhood friend is committed to Penn State.

One more thought before bed. It's good seeing kids getting some ATO games after their juniors season ends and then going to college the next fall when a few years ago doing so would have voided their eligibility. Haven't seen much about it (either for or against), but giving them a taste of the grind that is the AHL will make them appreciate how good they have it in NCAA.

It's hard to imagine Nelson going anywhere but Warroad, but I could see the two of them doing it back to back in Warroad then GF.

My bad. Nelson too

Between Cole Smith, Blake, and Hak, who is most likely to bring the Cup to GF?

It's good to see someone pop back up from getting boarded and make the guy pay the piper rather than feign injury. At the same time, the lack of fighting in college hockey is for the best in my opinion.

As good of a non-Schloss article about college hockey as I've read in a while. Normally when an NHL or NYT/Post/etc. journalist writes about college hockey there are a few things in it that aren't correct, but not the case here.

Every off-season it is discussed, with teams knowing they need to offer more than was offered before.

Could Lin or Fiddler decommit if Carle goes to the NHL? Toronto might finally have the offer he can't refuse.

Carels can finally be discussed here

My understanding is Dozark pulled a Seth Jones and said if it's not in Portland pass on WHL. That's why he signed so soon after his rights were traded. We have to be a front runner for him as an I-29 kid.

Our forward group is full, so no space with us, but Drew Stewart of Minnetonka was a ppg skater as an overager in the regular season for Muskegon and is doing the same in the playoffs but is not committed anywhere for next season. Curious where he lands.

Thanks for sharing. Not sure who is and isn't committed among this list of top Americans in CHL(obviously DeMars is!): Gavin Burcar (WHL), Brooks DeMars (WHL), Finn Spehar (WHL), Nolan Snyder (OHL), Tyler Cooper (OHL), Ryan Kaczynski (OHL), Gerry DiCunzolo (OHL), Landon Jackman (OHL), Mark Pape (OHL), Anthony Timmerman (OHL), Patrick Ula (OHL), Drew Roscoe (OHL) and Cameron Minella (OHL)

She was a broadcast journalism student at St Cloud, I vaguely remember her working for their student run production company for some games against UND. Agreed about her skill level, St Thomas should be reaching out.

Ivankovic appears to be the only current NCAA player on Canada's roster.
