just nod if you can hear me....

While it's nice to see your post not struggle to come full circle to "thumbs down for UND hockey" for once, in no way is a tech company overcharging for a compilation of single camera feeds with low production quality good for exposure. FLO is prohibitively expensive for casual fans (and price-sensitive hardcore fans as well), and the profits find their way to Austin rather than the hockey conferences themselves. The fact that B1G was willing to include their product suggests hockey is a low priority to them. Streaming your games for free like RPI, Vermont, NEU, etc. do is good for exposure.

Bozeman used to have a D1 caliber rink (low end of the range, anyways). Not 100% on the year, but I think 2006 or 2007 the owner shut it down and it became a warehouse for a beer and liquor distributor. Their juniors team used to play in the NAHL, the rink closing likely coincided with when the team downgraded to a lower tier of juniors.

Didn't watch last night, but it seems like he's lost a step. Foot speed and pivot aren't what I remembered from him. It's early though.

what a mess

WTF is Smith out there on the PP for...

their goalie lost his stick, and it ended up on a tee for Pinto

Not the only criteria (obviously), just a glaring red mark on their application.

They need an NCAA tournament win first. Even St Cloud has one of those.

If you spend an entire season at the NHL level that's a good threshold. Another would be signing a one way contract (which I believe Jordan did at one point). The original question was what made the OP say Tychonick looked NHL caliber.

yes. corrected

What have you seen out of Tychonick suggesting he is NHL-bound? He has skill and draft status, but so did Jordan Schmaltz.

"....a pair of jeans that fits just right...."

Schmaltz with a 3 point game, and Stetcher with a goal.

Both T. Poolman and Wolanin played forward to get them ice when we had stacked defense. Maybe put one of the D up this year. It's good to have too many players, injuries will happen.

I wish this iteration of the Badgers was on our OOC schedule.

Watch him switch to juniors around Christmas.

CC really dove head-first into the beer league aesthetics for their jersey.

Remember that series maybe a decade ago where we throttled RMU and they weren't interested in scheduling with us anymore? One of the games was an 8-0 pounding. Let's check another Atlantic team off the list. Never want to see Canisius again.

Here's a good primer on UST: http://www.citypages.com/news/excommunicated-st-thomas-proved-too-good-at-sports-and-building-a-college/561900561 I never understood why people paid so much to attend there rather than, say, Pepperdine or another private institution, but it sounds like they are generous with financial aid.

A few years ago a prep school kid from Brooklyn would not strike me as a possibility, but after Pinto and Moore it wouldn't be a shock these days. Is Ty Smilanic expected to go the MJ route? Denver yanked his scholarship a while ago, could have been similar to what happened with Rowe. Figured he'd have a new commitment by now. Haviland has undoubtedly offered considering Ty is from the front range.

Herald website is now paywalled but not particularly sophisticated; you can read all the articles you want if you are using Firefox (and maybe others, only tried with FF) on a desktop. Put it in Reader view (F9) before the paywall block comes up and you can read any article you want. This trick works on some, but not all news sites. The Athletic, STrib, and more don't allow this work around.

That Duluth game will be his legacy.

Mercyhurst scores two late goals to win in Arizona. Ouch. They don't have replay but I'd like to see the winner again, came off a guy getting out of the box with less than a minute to go.
