Is Ryder Donovan hurt? He scored a goal in St Thomas' first game of the year and hasn't played since the second weekend.

Hopefully the new AD at Iowa's previous tenures at Minnesota and Connecticut showed her the possibility that lies in front of her with Barta's anti hockey Bison arse gone.

I felt confident enough to book a flight for the Frozen Four a while ago. Persson stole every NCHC win he ever had. D from the portal all sounded solid. I don't love everything about Berry but he's a better coach than most on here give him credit for.

20 wins is generally the cut line vicinity for the tournament assuming no bad losses. We currently have 15 wins, 4 OT losses, and 1 tie. 10 wins were at home in regulation, worth .8, so 8 wins. 1 was home OT, worth .8 * .67, so 0.5 wins. 3 OT losses at home, worth .8 * .33 each, so 0.8 wins. Tie was at home, so .5*.8= 0.4 wins. On the road, 3 wins * 1.2 is 3.6 wins. 1 OT win on the road is 1.2 * .67= 0.8 wins 1 OT loss on the road is 1.2 *.33 = 0.4 wins Summed up we have 14.5 wins, which we can round up to 15 with the quality win bonus. Sweep, or at least no losses to the two pairwise poison opponents left (Miami and Duluth) and we can handle some losses to more formidable opponents along the way and still be in position to make the tournament. 14 games left, with 8 on the road.

Chris Wilkie's brother Coltan scored his second goal since he was in 16AAA last night to tie Wisconsin in the 3rd. Lindenwood did a great job on their black jerseys.

We went almost a game between goals this weekend, but got good goaltending from our 2nd string. Wonder if it's his net to lose next Friday after tonight.

Schmaltz's year in review coaches talk isn't going to be pretty. Portal/Coast/overseas may be in the cards for next season. It's not like he's not trying, it's just not going his way. Get the monkey off the back tonight and go from there.

All three lead their teams in points.

Only one RHD in the top 6.

Who are we recruiting from them this weekend?

Senden won both a HS championship and USHL championship as a captain, so there was hope of history repeating itself. Hain was a head scratcher.

Panzer needs another year in juniors, he turns 20 in April. Emerson leaving now gives us time to have an ear to the street for a portal replacement. Jared Westcott at LSSU will have a year of eligibility, among other possibilties.

The article doesn't even have a photo of him, that's how little ice time he's seen.

There's no way Adams would have stuck around for his junior year with the current transfer rules. His scholarship got yanked and he gutted it out rather than sit for a year. Not surprised that Emerson left, but figured it would be at the end of the season. His departure isn't nearly as frustrating as Tambellini.

Wisconsin is #1 in the pairwise. Wonder how long until Hastings is an NHL coach.

His advisors failed him. His NHL legacy is written before he signs his entry level contract.

Were Emerson and Perron linemates in Chicago?

Props to WMU doing a home and away series with a nascent program.

Brutal shift for Benoit

Alaska is clogging the slot, dump it in the corner instead.

Massive jersey foul on princeton.

Perron belongs in top 6 over Johannes. Oh well, hopefully he can expose some mismatches.

Slipec isn't making it to campus if he doesn't find his game. 1 point in his last 10. Maybe needs to bounce back to the BCHL.
