1) entertaining game, lots of pressure rather than neutral zone traps. too bad they didn't win it. 2) Johnson isn't as good a goalie as stats say. bad turnovers and sloppy possession were capitalized upon and as mentioned, his glove was exploited. 3) Brandt has the hockey knowledge that hammer lacks, not unlike kober. Just wish he could spit out that insight...quicker...and more...better...

Guentzel with a ridiculous dive.

Good article in the Vegas paper about UNLV. Sounds like they have better finances than anyone expected. Article affirms my belief they are trying to back door into PAC-12 through this. Wouldn't be surprised to see another Mountain West team try the same thing. Never would have guessed they'd be 61.

While we may have a down year coming up fast, our administration is hockey first as far as athletics go and would never allow a fall from grace of this caliber. Can't feel the slightest bit bad for such a fairweather, entitled and conceited fanbase. Let em rot.

The skyline on his mask is Detroit with the view from south of the city in Canada.

Seeing Knierim that high on the list has me thinking Miami could see yet another OHL bolt.

He would be 21 if he waits until 2017. Our first recruit since the proposal.

Anyone catch the MN Hockey Moms show with Lee Goren's wife? Saw a Strib article about it and can't say I'm too surprised it was made, especially if one of the moms is a good caricature of what was presented in Fargo. Then again I only skated ponds and parks growing up so no frame of reference for a hockey mom stereotype.

I believe Downing is a repeat offender.

Speaking of Omaha, Avery Peterson just left. He's 20 so should be able to pay in Sioux City the rest of the year.

Academics, not hockey in case that was confusing.

DU is off from Thanksgiving until New Years so the students in attendance are locals.

until you come up with your own material you're just DHG's tag along. I'll admit I laughed the first time I saw the schloss cheerleader picture but dear god did you beat it into the ground.

What's the story on lakes Bison? I'm one of the oft-maligned hockey only fans.

All fine and dandy that they aren't terrible people offline, but their vitriol online is comedically embarrassing. Even funnier is their mutual contempt despite being such peas in a pod.

Scientific poll regarding UMD superfans: who is worse, Drunk Hockey Guy (incessant troll with elementary logic) or runs with dogs (wannabe blogger jealous of Schlossman)?

Brad alluded to Schmaltz possibly not making the WJC, did their family piss off USA hockey by not going NTDP or something? I remember Jordan got passed on when Lucia was coaching it so there was an easy scapegoat.

They would not be in it for the long haul. Hosting a conference tournament in any of those other locations would fare akin to the regionals in Grand Rapids or Cincy. Conferences aren't 'the more the merrier'. I wouldn't change a thing.

the nchc is like-minded institutions with hockey as the marquee sport at each school. Pass on both of these schools. WCHA/B1G can be the revolving door.

Brad tweeted a link link to a report about UNLV actively working to step up to D1. nice way to backdoor into the Pac 12. article also mentions Oregon as furthest along of current pac 12 members and USC doing their homework. Stanford just needs to allocate from its monster endowment. I'll be a ducks season ticket holder on day one.

That many first rounders is playing with fire. They'll get burned by one of them.

Our captain is a Denver decommit after they wouldn't pay Gwozdecky market rate for a coach of his caliber.

I'm not one to badmouth refs but this is pretty bad. Poganski deserved the dive call but way too many hits with potential to injure not being called. There was a good 15 seconds where nobody on either team was trying to play the puck.

Touché. Wonder who the other 5 schools were then.
