	Is it a little odd that the app deadline is so soon and just before regionals begin? Almost as if they had someone on line 2.

He knows the sword hangs over his head too, which helps. - 
	As good a guy as Berry has been and as well as he has served the University in many capacities, I'd suspect this was handled as a result of ongoing discussions and in a manner acceptable to Berry.
 - 
	No kidding. A lot of people here were reaching for torches and pitchforks. A lot.

	How much will the new canadian juniors eligibility rule come into play in this selection, if at all?

That's actually a lot of talent. - 
	Good post, gf.
 - 
	Is that because kids are playing for their own personal professional futures (selfish play), or just the result of so much dynamic offensive talent.

Come on, you guys. Those comments are absurd from a fan standpoint. Do we really take ourselves that seriously? We're not playing a full 60 here (myself included). Or maybe we'e just not playing with a full deck. -

OK, so Berry has had a few rough years. I feel a few things need to be said here. One, he's a genuine nice guy and sets a good example for his players. You don't see his guys slam their sticks against the boards or skate off the ice in a pout after a loss. They know how to hang their heads without being rude. Most important: losing is hard, but it's a fact of life, and it can build character. BB has built a lot of character over the years. - 
	A very close friend went to Western for his undergrad and MSU for his medical degree. LIke all people who did not go to UMich, he hates the ugly helmets, so its a trifecta for him.

	That's what I like about this place. Think you'll find discussion of Sartre existentialism on GPL? Throw in gfhockey, which is another kind of abyss.

	Best Hockey Memories, page 7 of Mens Hockey here. A lot there, thanks mostly to Blackheart.
 - 
	Or guys who are willing to just stay around to be there when and if you need them, like Wilbur.
 - 
	Will the Universities soon be called NBA/NFL/NHL affiliates?
 - 
	Not businesssuit? I’ll say it then: he has the doubledipshit look about him. And I’m a great judge of dipshits.
 - 
	They’ll play hard. I just don’t know if they have the passing confidence to get through 3 periods without getting bottled up in their own end for extended periods of time. TJ will have to be at his very best. But with a tip or dirty goal or two in our favor, the margin for error might be enough.
 - 
	Western on Friday is a good draw. As much rest as is possible after sweeping UNO, and they may as well deal with Western up front. Lose and they didn't belong anyway. Win and it's a confidence builder for likely DU. Western is clearly the better team, but it's hockey. Win or go down fighting.
 - 
	Not even. A friend's uncle who lives in a memory care unit.
 - 
	TJ's a little like Jim Craig. Maybe not the best overall, but the one who has the best chance of standing on his head and beating a better team. Bring on the red army.
 - 
	I wouldn't loose it over something that minor.
 - 
	Further evidence of a divided locker room.

I think this post adds to the discussion. - 
	As long as I stay away, they'll bounce back. Undergrad degree 1975; additional degree 1992.
 - 
	Maybe UNO will bring back Johnny T, resulting in two easy wins for the Green and White. Even having him in the stands has to help.
