Have we ever had anyone from Hill Murray on campus? Voltin never made it, obviously.

Blake was apparently born there.

What is the new pairwise calculation for an OT win? Or did it not change in the off-season?

Smilanic is good on the ice but toxic in the locker room is the rumor.

Liberty up 1 nil over Niagra on ESPN+ They have a full barn tonight and a D1 caliber arena. Falwell Sr was hella wack but they should move up to NCAA.

I had to reinstall on Roku, currently watching the NCHCCHA toilet bowl. Had the same prompt at first. GameDay thread anyone? Line chart is up.

As a club team they had to fundraise/pay their way on a campus where a ton of money is thrown at seemingly every other sport so it was something every recruit/freshman wondered about, resulting in the Bauer anecdote becoming common knowledge on the team. Didn't get any more info beyond that though.

Well worth the time to read. It's hard to believe everything he says but it's good to get his perspective. https://www.therinklive.com/mens-division-1/big-10/fired-hockey-coach-mel-pearson-speaks-for-the-first-time-on-what-really-went-down-at-michigan

An absolute stud who we spotted before anyone else. Took off like a rocket in the USHL and impressed us all from day 1 in Grand Forks. Cheers to him as well the coaching staff that recruited and developed him. https://thehockeynews.com/news/get-ready-for-the-shane-pinto-show-senators-fans

If ESPN doubled the payout compared to what they make on their own, they would no longer have the expense of running it themselves, and eyeballs would skyrocket with casual observers and potential new fans. I'm personally fine with the status quo but ratings drive college athletics. A hypothetical Summit League hockey conference would be foolish to not partner with a major provider.

The Rink Live podcast mentioned that the league looked at ESPN+ and FloHockey to replace NCHC.tv. Either ESPN low-balled them or the league is raking it in with their own streaming platform. Maybe a combination of the two.

Between the save and the multiple water bottle pops this is worth watching too. Obviously we look back with tinted glasses because of our success in it, but the Final Five was truly special.

Here's another great clip from that era. Frattin always celebrated like he's done it before and he'll do it again.

Hensler doesn't turn 16 until next month; it's possible he is a sophomore and can't commit until next August.

A onetime beer league teammate was a club player at U of O, said Knight harbors resentment to the sport of hockey after Nike bought high and sold low with Bauer. That was in the 90's though, hopefully he's over it by now.

WBL native, NTDP alum and former Badger Jake Martin is playing juniors, worth keeping an eye on.

Who knows if he even would have made it to campus if he hadn't decommitted. Could have would up like Mitchell Mattson, getting his offer pulled for not performing in Juniors. Now Donovan serves as another cautionary tale for anyone trying to jump from MN HS to D1.

Only team Moorhead native Sam Laurila follows is Tech...although he also follows NCHC, Frisch, Kleven and Sanderson. We undoubtedly are on him.

Makes me miss Lucia.

Chose UND over Michigan and Duluth.

In theory yes, not sure how it applies to partial scholarship or walk-on.
