Kristo probably should have left after his junior year. He had nothing left to prove and wasn't gonna win the Hobey because of his reputation. But had he left the team likely wouldn't have made the tournament that year. Still can't believe he hasn't gotten his cup of coffee at the show.

Melrose knows the game. Buccigross notices the penalty being called, and waits for Barry to say what it was. He's usually spot on. I could be giving Melrose the benefit of the doubt though. Can't stand Bucci for color, but I appreciate his enthusiasm for the niche he carved out for himself. Has a good grasp on social media and tacky phrases those dang kids use these days.

Melrose always picks UND to go distance when they ask for the expert picks. Buccigross panders to our fanbase on Twitter but come game time shows his eastern bias. The enthusiasm for Tuch was certainly over the top, but didn't match the Buccigross vocal inflections every time he said Eichel last year.

Melrose will definitely rave about us. Buccigross will in the semi but if we play Boston he'll man crush on their draft picks and forget about ours. When Cohen announced their starting lineup of TJ Compher and Alex Motte it was clear what to expect.

hmmmm. Bible College vs.MNSU-D. Hard to root for either.

They are openly lusting over Tuch

Top hockey east team would finish seventh in the NCHC was what he meant to say.

Ref calling out Farley for trying to draw...."there was no reason to fall down"

Downtown Portland (aka Seattle - traffic + mass transit) at Buffalo Wild Wings. Figure they have enough screens to devote one channel to it.

Duly noted.

Can someone verify the nchc exit fee? I think it's north of a million. Curious for Wm and Miami.

Why would UND leave the NDHC...aka north dakota hockey conference? We run the show and every one knows it. Notre Dame wasn't happy in hockey east. Second, they're adding ASU until Iowa or Nebraska does something with the rinks near their campuses. By that time we will have another shake up anyways.

Friiggin' 11 am pacific. long lunch break I guess. Luckily plenty of places right in the vicinity but way too early. My productivity that afternoon will be correlated with their performance.

RIT and Ferris both win with a major home ice advantage at their respective tournaments. Nobody thought either was making the dance.

I almost want MN in the tourney at the expense of UMD.

Regionals are survived. Frozen fours are won.

Getting a bar to deviate from basketball right now is like pulling teeth.

Red was quoted saying it would be good for the conference to get more than one team in the NCAA tournament. Michigan is not going distance. Hopefully it's Penn taking that 14 spot. Duluth will take the 3rd place game if it's Denver....St. Cloud would like some revenge though.

With Eaves gone it is open recruiting season on Gildon.

I'm giving it a shot at work tomorrow as a new computer screen background. Can't help but smile looking at it.

Wisconsin will always have this moment from last Friday in which to relish. Nobody in the building realized the play was offsides.

He's somewhat gotten back on track in the BCHL. His fall from grace wasn't of the magnitude of Voltin's. Give him a year (two if B1G doesn't get their way). Can't wait to read about Tolvanen in this thread. He's apparently best buds with Keane. Only a matter of time.

Kunin's NCAA career is coming to a close depending on who drafts him. Won't take much to get him to go CHL. As for the tournament, it's as if friends and family didn't bother attending.

Plus the reigning NCAA lacrosse champs

Vesey writing that article about staying in college has to help his case.
