Attendance is gonna be bad with the upcoming storm.
If you’re in town tonight it shouldn’t be too bad. Might be a little dicey overnight into the morning commute.

Apparently all our goalies looked outstanding. Just put their names in a hat I guess.

The Wild attack 110 in the first and third periods. I would think it would be the same for UND
Per the Herald, UND will be on the Visitor's bench on Friday...therefore, I'm guessing they will be attacking the end with the Zamboni entrance (section 123) twice against Omaha.

Because he is hired to be a fixer, a short-term hard reset guy. That's his thing.
Philly's team culture post Giroux/Voracek hadn't recovered and needed a shock to the system. Enter Torts. He may get them into the playoffs this year. And he'll be gone before 2027. And Philly management knows and expects that.
Torts is what he is.
So where does Torts rank on the Babcock scale?

He had some pretty good Sioux teams back in the day...yes, definitely an all time great! Went to a couple of his basketball camps; good times!

It does, and I like that this team plays smart that way. They could use more of what Kunz brings, though.
A little more Ross Rhea?

Jesus, did the Wild suck last night. Perfect opportunity to gain ground on St. Louis and Vegas and they stunk the joint up. Can't believe I watched that entire game.
It was 6-0 when I flipped past...

When has one of these "projected brackets" (meaning more than 24 hours before selections announced) been spot-on?
Hardly ever...that's why I choose to wait until it gets posted on Sunday after all the games are played.

He also said Rizzo is doubtful for regionals.
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?

is there any chance Hedquist is #1 and Johnson is #2? I know Johnson is supposed to just be a third string guy but is there a chance he moves up and they back fill with a new 3rd string guy?
Are you talking next year?

Hi, BG guy here again popping in for my yearly engagement with the SiouxSports world. I'm curious as to this group's rankings on the attractiveness of the BG job vs. the Miami job. Which is "better" and why?
I'll hang up and listen to your answer.
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.

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.

And Don Lucia, in all of his worldy wisdom, told season ticket holders to just accept it (along with drastic price increases) and move on.
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.

Barry Alvarez was very aggressive in pursuing the formation of the B1G hockey conference, that's how I remember it.
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.

No, that was Kolanos and Kobasew circa the turn of the century.
I was in Albany to witness that one. Luckily I had made it to Providence the year before to see them win it all.
