I’m hoping the team combines “never ever give up” with “fewer turnovers and better goaltending.” Let’s ride!

Schlossman mentioned in a podcast that the coaching staff went seven for seven in the portal, a pretty unlikely hit rate. Every transfer contributes. Berry mentioned in a USCHO interview that all seven transfers came in early for five weeks of voluntary workouts with Mark Poolman this summer.

This, 100%. Both suggestions are fantastic. I’d vote for Altitude Room Game. Ties in the pregame coverage and alludes to the hustle displayed in the comeback. Plus it will always reference where the game was played.

From Rink Live article: tonight was already Motzko’s 200th game coaching the Gophers. I still think of him as just having left St. Cloud State.

I think the altitude room works.

I’m still not quite sure how that happened.

UND's worst series in Denver...at least in recent memory...was probably the series in the 2015-16 season.

It will be interesting to see if there's a noticeable difference in UND's endurance--especially in the third period--after having used their new altitude room.

Now that we're past Thanksgiving, about 80% of all non-conference games have been played. Here's the inter-conference standings by winning percentage: B1G, .704 NCHC, .685 Hockey East, .667 <gaping hole alert> Atlantic Hockey, .366 ECAC, .364 CCHA, .351 There's a gaping hole between the top three and bottom three conferences--three hundred points. Quinnipiac (PWR 2) and AIC (PWR 15) are the only teams from the bottom three conferences in the top 20 of the Pairwise. And notice which conferences are first and last. It's likely not just Mike Hastings leaving Mankato for Wisco, but my goodness has that changed things for the CCHA.

Cam Rowe named NCHC goaltender of the month. Rowe has been excellent, though Ludvig Persson has been slightly better in every category against better competition.

Right? After all, only two of those three are true at any given time.

Seriously, that Hrkac Circus comp got my blood pumping. The year 1987 was the best sports year ever. My grandparents had ‘87 memorabilia on display (mostly Twins but also Sioux) until we had to throw everything away after the flood.

Andrew Strathmann named USHL defenseman of the week for Nov. 20-26.

NCHC.tv to ESPN+? Be careful what you wish for.

A new meaning for "The Michigan."

Gophers score in 3x3 OT. One of Michigan State's skaters broke his stick just before the game-winner.

Sparty ties Minnesota with 18 seconds left in regulation. Kinda like the SCSU-Michigan game last night.

SCSU ties Michigan with 9 seconds left in regulation. Exciting hockey.

Took awhile to break that Beaver dam, but they finally did with those late goals.

Strinden has been so good tonight. Attaboy!!

Ludvig is a stone wall.

Unnecessary penalty. C’mon Gaber.

Lesson: don’t poke the Blake.

Blake gets a punch to the mouth. Draws penalty.
