When I talked favoritism, Perunovich was on top of the list but not number 1. Wolfe was allowed to get away with murder for 4 years. UMD, for some unknown reason has played some of the chippiest hockey yet they always get the pivotal power play to have that one chance...

According to official time keeper there was .2 (noting that the screen clock doesn’t communicate tenths) seconds on the game clock at the time of the goal. It was reviewed, but it didn’t take long once the timekeeper ‘chimed in’ no pun intended.. clock 00:00.2 on screen is 00:00

It wasn’t worse than the Pionk hit, but I agree with the 5, the game and the additional and I’ll tell you why. The team obviously was rubbing it in at this point and Grant made no attempt to avoid and appeared, maybe just to me, to stiffen that shoulder and arm to maximize the impact of the hit. Chroma was in a poor position to take the hit and I think folks are stretching to say he embellished it. Pionk, on the other hand, should have been suspended for several games. That hit was an embarrassment to NCHC officiating and showed unreasonable favoritism. I hammered UMD fans well into the following season over that situation.

Watching the game Tuesday night it looked like a 40 minute power play. Shot attempts 167, shots on goal 36. Ok, exaggerating, but it felt like that.

Omaha was stiff after the 28 day layoff, the altitude and the battle Monday night. It was all CC and they couldn’t bury one...

This announcer... my ears are bleeding... top shelf where grandma keeps the peanut butter?

But, the Mavericks are without Johnny T, Randl and Scanlin. I’d say their worse off...

Why, you gonna pull the Hawks out of the ditch? Funny thing about that commercial, they still have the sheen like they’ve never been worn. And that garage, talk about a clean garage!

And Pinto might need some Krampade

Whelp...

Please don’t bring up the ice...please!

Just like Denver to wake up in the second half. Playing with tempo and lust..

UNO is a contender, and will be for some time. They’ve turned the corner and begun to play good hockey without any ‘stars’. Gabinet is doing it right in my book. Building a team, a culture. If not for this effed up year, my bet is they’d make the a’s...

I hate to be an ass on this, but for me I think a commitment should be 2 years minimum (don’t get me started on verbals!). So much work goes into finding these kids an offering them financial rewards for joining the team, it sucks that they can just walk. Two years, enter the portal and go.

I figured Omaha. Tychonik and Ward were team mates at he Penticton Vees...

They should have all stayed in the pod...

Let the linesmen call diving as well.

Denver’s position? We could be at .500 and this place would be a dumpster fire! Fire Barry, fire the Zamboanga driver, fire all the seniors, fire the guy that plows the parking lots!!!

Oh I get it, I was just musing about what will happen. Seems to me that across the NCAA, top end talent will be moving about for a variety of reasons (none scholastic) and if movement ‘out’ slows down, the incomes will do the same thing. If a team is heavy on good defense and nobody is leaving, incomers might look elsewhere..

And that would be the end of recruiting. Do you really think the folks coming up want to wait behind another class. This would do much for balancing the 4+ stars across the NCAA’s...

With all the grumbling about goaltending, maybe they should go 6 attackers from the start. The strategy? Wear the other team out with icing calls as they try to run up the score. Keep them on the ice for 4, 5 minute shifts. Then we got em right where we want em!

Now that is a forecast! Can you tell us who the goal scorers will be and who the assists will go to?

All of the games yesterday were a bit off. Wonder if the kids are getting gassed earlier with the pace. With three games, it seemed like the ice was a real factor in the nightcap. I think things settle after the first of the year and we see how things really stack up.

99% of the hype came from the fan base before anything was really decided...

In a sarcastic, whiny voice: “better be Thome’s net tonight.... Jesus.
