Sorry to hear that, he was enthusiastic about the prospect of colleges adding hockey. Lindenwood is an exciting school to add for a litany of reasons. 1) using NHL practice facility that is near campus (looking at you Vanderbilt) 2) building upon a women's program (looking at you Syracuse) 3) ACHA program hosting NCAA tournaments to raise funds for the move to NCAA (looking at you Navy) 4) location near USHL footprint 5) South of mason dixon and west of Mississippi, two areas with not enough representation in college hockey Academically it is not a good school (C+ on Niche, only Cloud has a grade that bad in NCHC, and is probably the only other one that bad in D1) but it brings college hockey to a new metro.

Looking forward to DU not making the tournament.

AIC barely squeaked out wins against LIU, who lost to a club team, and Air Force, who are objectively the worst team in college hockey this season. Only one AHA team should get in, whoever wins the tournament.

The same tool who wanted Mismash thrown in front of a firing squad for hitting Chrona is trying to tiptoe around a Bulldog doing the same thing.

Lindenwood going D1 finally. Is Zombo still the coach? Shoulda been post in college hockey expansion. My bad

I'd say Pinto deserves a cover too. They are doing any school requested in the thread, lots of good ones.

There's no doubt they are benefitting from riding our coattails, and that gives them a reason to skate harder and finish checks against UND. Their ascent is good for the college game, too, showing how prime their locale is for recruiting in the USHL to the other big state schools in the area. When they sweep us in the Ralph or win a natty I'll pay them more attention.

He's serious. In their world we care about them as much as they care about us.

But of teams using the moniker Mavericks, they are #1! Sorry @bale31

The rivalry is partially manufactured by the league as an assigned travel partner. Personally, they are 4th/5th of 7 on my list in the conference now that Blais is gone, and probably 7th/8th overall with Bemidji. Just don't have the history of stinging losses/epic wins/fisticuffs/dirty hits like other rivals. They'll probably pass CC on my list if they (CC) don't turn things around with the new arena on campus.

I enjoyed this shade towards St. Cloud in Brad's story: "Obviously, we need to limit the after-the-whistle stuff and the penalties, but it will be just like we play Duluth or Mankato," Mismash said

Western recently swept Cloud, granted at Lawson. They could steal one at the Concrete castle.

Was there ever an explanation for why they announced a cross checking penalty but it didn't get served? That was odd, Starman and <not Holden> were perplexed and said they'd get an explanation but they never did.

Only caught the third, but the same guy for Omaha lost his helmet twice. Tighten that bucket, Prokop.

Kraken ownership are donating to UAA. Only 100k but might get some attention to their fundraising needs.

Damn.

He's been snakebitten after he got robbed by a pretty bad "no goal" call.

University of No Hardware

Manchester withdrew their bid to host a regional this year.

What about a sponsor? NHL is doing it. If it helps fill the coffers back up...

How instrumental was he in getting the new arena built? If he's the reason he gets more time.

This may have been addressed, but how did attendees feel about the atmosphere?

Paying more than ever for the chance to wear a mask in an atmosphere akin to a Thursday afternoon tilt against Michigan State at Mariucci? Pass.

They also lost two D in Pashchinuk (sp) and Mansicalco that tilted the ice in their favor. Harder for Walker to score off cherry picking when they don't possess the puck as much.
