The only upside is Hockey Least teams are cannibalizing themselves now, hopefully they wind up a one bid conference this year while CCHA gets two.

Blake with the shootout winner tonight.

Sweeping Omaha for the season pretty much guarantees us a home regional in Sioux Falls.

Fun fact: Grimes was modeled after Michael Douglas in Falling Down

Here's a better reference. Gabinet walking into the Ralph:

Ask him if he wants to see a photo of astronauts holding up a UND flag in space!

Can only imagine the headlines if he entered the portal...

So Pilgrim is out?

Bob got a call from USA Hockey and his explanations didn't quite assuage their concerns. Hahaha

Watched Ryan Lin tonight, he should be in NCAA next year and not much longer until he's a top 4 in the show. Played half the game and won every 50 50 puck. Rushed end to end twice and drew a penalty on one. PP1 QB and PK1. Smooth and poised, did everything right all game long. Really hoping he doesn't land at Denver.

Vermont scores with less than a minute left to win at Agganis. The tumor wasn't benign when it found a new host.

Too many new players unaware that St Cloud lives and dies by their Power Play.

Now that AIC folded, nobody in college hockey does more with less than St Cloud State. The school is circling the drain and I won't shed a tear for it, but losing programs is bad.

I have an LG (not sure if it's 4k, hand me down) and use Castify to broadcast NCHC.tv from my phone. Looked great tonight. If you use Apple products Airplay should be built in.

In other news, flight to and hotel in Vegas for the second weekend in April are cheap and refundable....

Their SHG is on Wiebe. Coasting back when someone is behind you? One or two more strides and he lifts the stick easily. Also, can't believe Burnevik saw Zellers alone near the net and didn't immediately neutralize him. Some beer league-caliber mental lapses by both teams.

What's the line?

Are hockey tickets free for students at OSU? The revenue from student tickets can't outweigh the benefits of making them free, or like $5. Their capacity would allow it.

Brad's article today says they expect to hear Monday who made Team Canada for WJC.

Is it true most hockey fans in Columbus root for teams other than the Blue Jackets? I.e. Red Wings, Blackhawks, Penguins, etc.? Beer league teammate from there said something to that effect.

Having someone around who was able to grind it out from the NAHL to a respectable NHL career is good for all parties involved.

Pat is coaching his son in Muskegon too
