I watched a few ECHC games on ESPN+ this past season, and it sure looked like the feeds were locally produced, i.e., not produced by ESPN. But I could be wrong.

IALTO

I'm not sure even Minnesota is an exception to this. Despite their football team generally being awful for the better part of...well, forever, they get 10x the exposure on Twin Cities sports talk radio and tv coverage than the men's hockey team does. And despite their men's basketball team generally being mediocre, they get 5x the aforementioned coverage than the men's hockey team does. There were times when the women's basketball team--Lindsay Whalen era, e.g.-- got as much local coverage as the men's hockey team. And then there's all the pictures of empty Mariucci.

Like me

Should be no goal

Let's go boys! You can do it!

Aargh

Judd, Gaber, Frisch...one (or more) of these guys need to score this period.

Attaboy Drizzy!

Some sort of review...

Apparently ESPN mic'ed up a couple of random fans.

Wow Kleven just eliminated that attacking skater.

Nice play by Moore!

Gotta get on the forecheck.

A little shaky so far.

Ice doesn't look good.

Exactly. So pathetic.

This year's squad doesn't have much margin for error, but they've given themselves a chance by making it to the tourney. Success will require total team effort. Driscoll needs to be a wall. Relentless forecheck from all four lines. Crisp breakouts by the d-men. C'mon boys, we are with you. LFG!!

LU's first hire: social media proofreader. There is no "2022-22" hockey season. Good grief.

I won't get to watch the game tonight because of preexisting condition obligation. Just hoping no one else gets hurt. A win would be the cherry on top.

AHA: AIC / RIT / Air Force / Mercyhurst ECAC: Quinnipiac / Clarkson / Harvard / Colgate HEA: Northeastern / UMass / UM-Lowell / Connecticut CCHA: Minnesota State / Bemidji State B1G: Minnesota / Michigan NCHC: Denver / UND / WMU / UMD

Another kid on that roster is John Whipple from Excelsior. I know exactly zero about him except that he's got an outstanding name. Getting players with great names (a la Ben Blood) is vastly underrated in recruiting. "And Whipple whips the pucks into the net for a game-winning gooaaaaalll!"

And if anyone is labeling Sanderson injury-prone at this early stage in his career, I agree @stoneySIOUX that such a narrative would be premature. I'm just being greedy hoping for another season with Jake. His end-to-end goal against Bemidji is one of those all-time-great highlights. I'd like a few more of those highlights before he leaves.

How hard can it be? 99% of IT tasks involve the following steps: 1. Turn it off. 2. Then turn it back on. 3. If issue isn't resolved, repeat steps 1 and 2.

That's quite an honor for Sam. I hope he has a great camp! Thanks for the head's up, @SpudsSioux.
