It was 6-0 when I flipped past...

Hardly ever...that's why I choose to wait until it gets posted on Sunday after all the games are played.

Wow...that's a huge blow for Denver. I know he's been nicked up a little this year; do we know what caused this latest injury?

Are you talking next year?

Well if the primary consideration was having enough horses to win in your league, Bowling Green would be miles ahead of Miami. Bergeron never won more than 8 games in any of the 5 seasons as head coach of Miami. Looks like just 19 conference wins in five years; finishing last in 4 of 5 seasons. Eigner's BG teams were just a bit over .500 the last five years with 20+ win seasons in his first two. So the ramp up to having a winning squad would appear to favor Bowling Green at this point. It's interesting to note that Bergeron's time as Bowling Green's coach showed improvement in win totals each of his nine years before leaving for Miami. (including NCAA's his last year) So did Bergeron suddenly become a bad coach upon arriving in Miami? Did he not recruit well enough to compete in the NCHC? As far as attractiveness, there are a lot of things to consider including facilities, fan/admin support, history of the program, the league you play in, salary, etc. I'll leave that to someone who knows more about hockey in the CCHA footprint.

Sandy only recruits grindaz. #redpepper

Four guys from Boston schools; 6 from the East. Maybe they'll split all their votes and Blake will slide into the Hobey Hat Trick.

No blue chippahs?

Gofers probably suffered the most with the new conference. They had to trade 50 year rivalries with DU, CC, UND for Ohio State, Penn St, Michigan State. I don't blame their fans for staying away as long as they did. Who wants to go watch Minnesota play Ohio State in the middle of January? And thanks to the B1G Network, Friday and Saturday nights at 7 on Fox Sports were no longer. Use to be able to set my watch by this; suddenly they were no where to be found. Would always watch the Gofers if the Sioux weren't on or during intermissions just so I could see how good they were. Now? Not so much.

Alvarez didn't want UW playing (and losing) to some of the newer (and smaller) schools that joined the WCHA later on. So he and Jim Delaney put the whole B1G hockey conference into motion...and just like that, 50 years of conference rivalries were gone.

The sooner the better.

I was in Albany to witness that one. Luckily I had made it to Providence the year before to see them win it all.

Miami Dead Hawks

Makes sense...thanks!

So which end will the Sioux be attacking twice at the X this weekend?

Too soon? #johnnyhockey

Gonna have to be somebody from out east...Gauthier (BC) or Celebrini (BU) would be my guess.

They rode the 'stache to Denver!

Looking forward to creaming these punks!

Announcers at Clown game talking during intermission and all you can hear is the crowd noise and PA announcer. Classic!

Damn straight

Effin priceless! #jvproductions

Announcers not able to be heard in St Cloud game now

Somebody named Costantini scored. Sounds familiar.
