  1. Seems a bit old to be a sixth grader
  2. Update: Alex will continue to do UND sports next year, however be prepared for him to miss games if weather prevents him from driving from Sioux Falls.
  3. Every goal should be reviewed and any objective action that normally would have stopped play should overturn a goal. This gets you high stick, hand pass, offside, icing, and a few others. I'm ok with taking a goal off the board if a liney screws up an icing. If it's too close to call, let it stand but you can easily tell a race to the dots in most cases. Obviously, it should be similar to offside where full control negates it, not just touching the puck.
  4. It's a conference decision. Up until a few years, Atlantic Hockey didn't have a policy so if you happened to have a video board you could show whatever. Occasionally, the refs would ask you to stop showing something but there was no rule you had to stop. Now, you're allowed to show it once at full speed and once slowed down if it's questionable, but only before the review is initiated. After the fact, it's usually just shown to confirm the ref's decision for the fans.
  5. The search function on this website is fantastic. Once again, you completely missed the boat about Notre Dame to the B10. Still waiting for those 4 schools to announce...
  6. GB only had spots to sign two players so Harris will likely head to Redskins camp.
  7. I don't think that's the case, though. The hockey-only mouthbreathers will always side with anything Engelstad and the faculty will hate a Republican who cut programs. I don't see a significant movement in the public opinion.
  8. We should have scrounged up some money and sent @Teeder11 to Vikings rookie camp for updates!
  9. Agreed. If given the option, I'd take Kennedy again for the past 3 years. Made some tough decisions but made the University better for it.
  10. Definitely should have kept the interlocking ND because that was original and never got confused with another team...
  11. That's completely backwards thinking though. Many players feel fighting should be part of the game because it allows them to police dangerous hits themselves. But how many times is there a great open-ice check where two seconds later, the guy who laid a great hit now has to defend himself against punches. How does that make any sense? The league needs to start penalizing and suspending both dangerous plays and fighting. A punch to the back of the head like Marchand did could easily cause a concussion, yet he gets no punishment. That's a non defendable move (although Bruins fans are trying their hardest) that should have earned at least 5 games in a new NHL that actually protects its players.
  12. Once the NHL admits there is a direct connection to CTE and fighting, they'll be opening up to a lot of problems because they haven't done enough to stop players from fighting. You rarely see punches thrown in football, basketball and baseball yet it's still too common in hockey. Suspend guys for intentionally hitting someone in the head would be a good start. In every other sport, Marchand would be sitting it out for a while, but clearly the NHL is once again showing it doesn't care about a players brain.
  13. I'd love to see a VGK style as the new Nike swift style.
  14. Would love to see CU and CSU both go D1. That would put 5 D1 schools in Colorado. Unfortunately, they don't both have a place to go. CU and ASU would be good adds to the NCHC after a few years but I don't think that conference should go above 10 or you risk DU and CC leaving for a western conference. That would actually be really good for college hockey but not so great for the NCHC. Miami and Western aren't leaving, otherwise you could drop those two, add CU, CSU, ASU and another southwest school. AF would never join because they'll get pounded due to lack of resources.
  15. Like I said, I disagreed with the call however the process was correct.
  16. It's actually easy to explain and while I disagree with the call, the process was handled correctly. On ice official sees Rigsby come out of crease and trip Finn forward, arm goes up, goal is scored, ref signals good goal. Then, the goal goes to review, where a person upstairs makes the call with input by the ref. Upstairs says Rigsby was still in the crease, was interfered with in trying to cover the puck, and was taken out of the play illegally. At that point, it's a no goal. However, the penalty call cannot be reviewed, so we end up with the situation that occurred. While not to this scale, I had a similar situation happen with AF hockey. Guy comes in offside but it wasn't called, puck stays in the zone and offensive team draws a penalty. They score on the delayed penalty but the refs overturn the goal due to being offside. Penalty still stands, clock stays the same, no goal.
  17. Raise your hand if you would give up your current job for 6 months at a new one with no guarantee you'll be hired and you're unlikely to go back to your previous one.

    2019 Season

    Is that you SiouxVolley?
  19. Any cadet can leave prior to the start of their junior year for any reason without having to repay the equivalent of their tuition. The Academy does not have to approve it.
  20. So the presidents of the other MIAC schools decided they were ok with the bad press that makes them look petty in order to help St. Thomas raise money to move up? Any source for this information? As someone who thinks like a president, how did you not see this coming?
