What subpar and continual issues? If it works great for some people and not for others... Whose issue is that? The signal from UND to Neulion is the same for everyone, yet somehow Neulion is only sending a signal that works for some people? We are all accessing the same stream at Neulion. The only difference is the speed of each persons Internet and the speed of each persons computer. How is Neulion supposed to fix that?

I'm excited for the NCAA teams to sprout up in Austria and Germany since MTU traveled there a few years ago! Not saying SFU and UBC is a longshot, I actually think it will happen. But those schools happen to be surrounded by teams in the BCHL. Check out UNDs roster from the past decade and you'll notice players from that league. I'd say the trip was more about recruiting and exposure versus playing a club team who may go d1. What happened to the moratorium on non d1 teams moving just one or two teams up to d1?

Actually, last year only four of the eight schools were through Neulion. Those four schools themselves, not Neulion, decided to share the video with opposing teams fans. The goal is to have all 8 but there are issues with DU. The 7 schools would no longer host on their website but link to NCHC site. It is similar to how the mountain west operates their digital network. Contracts aren't finished so it's not set in stone but it will happen.

UND needs to dump Neulion if I can't stream it glitch free while I'm "borrowing" my neighbors internet from my bomb-proof bunker.

Or those colleges would have to abide by current NCAA rules.

It was known for a long time that as soon as the Big Ten gained a sixth team, they would have to form a conference. Not quite Nostradamus there.

And in Atlantic Hockey, which only has 11 teams after losing UConn. You really think a conference made up of MAC schools is going to invite UAH? I suppose eventually one of your million posts about potential conference alignment will be right and we'll never hear the end of just how right you were, despite those other 999,999 posts that were wrong.

I'm not a fan of the new quoting style on mobile. It doesn't show the original posters name in a quoted post

I actually prefer the webstream. It's in HD and played nearly flawlessly all of last season on multiple devices in several locations.

They likely will have something similar if they're just pulling the in-house feed. All schools with in-arena videoboards have some sort of generic graphic they put up during dead time. It's the same way with Air Force hockey's webcast as well.

The NCHC has been encouraging the schools to improve their webcasts because now it will reflect on them. I know CC invested more money in upgrading their in-arena cameras and equipment and in turn, their stream.

Schlossman posted in the comments on his blog that there will be more info on TV options for fans. I'm curious if the conference was able to do some work on the exclusivity clause like I've been saying they would try to do. It will be interesting to see how everything plays out.

I miss the days of the big, bulky jerseys. They looked so good on my standard def tv

If I remember correctly, the previous scoreboard was 4x3 and this one is 16x9. It likely means additional upgrades have taken place to improve the cameras and other equipment in order to send the 16x9 feed to that board. I'm a little biased but I think an in-house video board does wonders for the fans. I don't think it will necessarily improve the atmosphere but being able to see replays just like at home can sway some people to go to games.

Better start the "Fire Bubba" thread for the same reason

So you posted about them not being solid and cited their wins since the 90s. But then followed up a post with the sentence "But that's last year." Makes a lot of sense...

And when you're done there, you can get much better beer at one of a dozen other breweries in town

Um... What? And who cares?

Frank Serratore of Air Force hockey tried to bypass the fundamentals portion of the early stages two years ago. The team struggled out of the gate til he refocused on the basics. The team never recovered. I saw the same issues with Mussmans teams.

There has to be a reason for this. Could it be an effort by Jones to get his players a whole lot better on the road? They certainly will get a lot of experience.

8 years, 10.5 mil per for both Kane and Toews.

Yes

Prior to yesterday he had only stopped 2 of 20 in the last five years.. Hardly a stellar record, wanker.

In 2010, the US played the 8th, 25th and 30th teams in their group. They squeaked into the round of 16, when they should have dominated their way into it. They then lost to 32nd ranked Ghana by one goal in extra time. In 2014, the US played the 2nd, 4th and 37th teams in their group. They squeaked into the round of 16, when they had no right winning more than one match. They then lost to 11th ranked Belgium by one goal in extra time. Which would be more impressive... Mankato finishing 2nd in the WCHA in 2013-14 or finishing 2nd in the WCHA in 12-13?

Perfect. Let people volunteer to help these people but don't force us to pay higher taxes to provide them with an "American Dream" they don't have to work for.
