It's their first year, they clearly projected demand wrong. Give the conference that remains the gold standard for college hockey some credit, they will correct it next year. We will still outdraw 99.x% of college hockey games played this season.

Holy cross v bentley is on prime video on their flohockey channel

Clarkson was a non conference opponent so that would help us if they win.

Was it unrelated to his imminent signing?

Only Merrimack has any fans of the three HE games. Granted Northeastern is hiding in Conte Forum

Hopefully that boat wasn't burned

Lots of tickets available after season ticket holder deadline passed.

Remember this article when Motzko gets canned and Gruba enters the portal: https://archive.is/2026.03.10-153315/https://www.startribune.com/gophers-mens-hockey-big-ten-tournament-penn-state-bob-motzko-ncaa-tournament/601595500

What are the specifics that make it wild?

Zakreski has to be in. Prior to the injury he was on PK and was out there when opponents pulled their goalie. I've puffed his feathers a bit on here after watching him a lot during last year's surprise playoff run for the Winterhawks, but he adapted quickly to the college game and has never looked like a freshman.

After winning the 2012 Final Five, Hak and Lammy (maybe MacWilliam too?) took the opportunity to voice their placement preference in St Paul as a one seed (but not 1 overall) during the post game press conference and voila, there they were the next day. If we are number 1 overall Jackson and whoever else will do the same.

Jim Erickson and Jake Brandt doing PxP with Alex working an MLS game. Too bad our opponent isn't Cloud.

We are officially on Motzko Watch Mode. Kalshi does not (yet) have odds that he is still employed by Saturday morning. Did his pension from the MNSCU system continue accruing with the U?

Yep. I'll be there

Augie hosts in 2028, but we are hosting in Fargo that year. I-29 will be the center of the hockey world for a weekend.

CHN has UND at 44% for #1 seed and HC at 18% to win AHA so 8% chance that's how it plays out. Buy them in a refundable manner, so not basic economy or Allegiant/Frontier.

Central beating Moorhead is like UNLV beating Denver. One team's super bowl while for the other it's just an exhibition.

That would explain the lack of back checking.

Z is back

Just a cursory glance at this forum would suggest the national tournament means exponentially more to fans than conference tournaments too. That doesn't fit his narrative though so he won't acknowledge it.

Holy Cross winning the Atlantic tournament means they are placed in Worcester as the host. So anyone but HC in AHA is our rooting interest.

Geno would be perfect for the state's tournament. Is is pronounced rose-MOUNT or rose-MONT? Only ever heard the latter, but lived in North suburbs or near the river so haven't spent much if any time there.
