I should add that while I'm excited to see these 6 or 7 (I'm not sold on MSU) teams form a stronger conference, I don't really see this as a win for college hockey as a whole unless one of several unlikely things happen: 1. ASU and MSU join NCHC, the other 6 teams back out without MSU 2. ASU and 2 other teams join the WCHA to keep it afloat. 3. The Alaska schools merge to form 1 join team (not sure if this is allowed) or one school ends their hockey program. Remaining school joins new CCHA. 4. UAH was likely excluded because of the travel cost and because they are a drain on the out of conference ranking. Their only viable path, that I see, is to join Atlantic Hockey if the WCHA folds.

I mean, considering their options the NCHC is really their most favorable scenario for at least 10 years...yes

To me the red flag was that they hadn't renewed Idalski's contract nor had they let him go and begin a search for a new coach.

Well I'm sure their mom's are getting the soap bars ready

Idalski supporters confuse me. Either he was a good recruiter to get all of those Olympians and a bad coach who couldn't do anything with them, or he was a bad recruiter who couldn't beat out the other local schools and had to settle for Europeans, and still couldn't coach them.

I think Boston would be on a neverending penalty kill if they played with regular season rules. But it is fair to say the Blues have had their share of penalties too.

Didn't they already settle that lawsuit?

Well...so much for being done in Philly. To be fair, prior to the extension I would have agreed with you.

What was wrong with the first goal? And do you really think the Blues have been getting the better calls?

I should have taken that bet...

Well baring creating a new poll/thread, no I don't. Just my personal observation that almost everyone I know who is part of the "Forever Sioux" crowd is more upset by items 2 and 3 of @Siouxperfan7 previous post than anything else. Nothing can be done about 2 now but they can create a new logo. Also, everyone I know, excluding you two, (who admittedly, I don't really know outside of this forum), like these logos better than our current USPS copy.

It was sad to see any sports go but it makes sense based on the facilities and the weather. Frankly I'm surprised we still have softball.

You'd probably have about 90% of the fanbase on board with the name (lame as it may be) If any of these were the actual logo.

They said they wanted to avoid a Saturday game. Fine by me, so why not a home and away series?

I'm not saying Perron didn't deserve a penalty, but Krugg initiated that conflict, held/tackled Perron as well, and then arguably charged Thomas.

Knight is going to the KHL

That's kind of creepy that you know what plates he had...

It may not be a sport per say, but this is good news for UND Aerospace. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/1351104-UND-Flying-Team-wins-nationals-for-first-time-since-2010

I'm sure he has recieved several calls. Despite what philly fans and press think he did fairly well there. I personally think he's avoiding long term contracts to see what happens to Berry next year.

I thought @MafiaMan was the one who had to approve grammar related comments :-D

Shouldn't these non-und WIH posts be in some other thread? Under other sports or something?

I know several faculty on both sides of the political aisle that likely cheered. MK made few friends at UND and it has more to do with his lack of tact, transparency, and just general leadership than it does budget cuts. People can understand budget cuts. However he did so with the grace of a blind surgeon using a rusty machete who ignored everything his nurses told him.

You guys are looking at this all wrong. We need to get coaches with the same name as Notre Dame coaches. Find some other guy named Mike Brey. Then when they are recruiting they can just say, "hey I'm coach Brey from UND..."

Given the pessimism I frequently see in this page, it will probably be replaced by "Fire coach..." after their first loss.

Nice try ISIS, but military members can't publicly support or oppose any party or politician.
