Minnesota has enough problems of its own...like making sure Tom McGinnis gets the school and nickname correct when handing out NCAA hockey trophies.

GPL was pretty worked up over it too. How convenient - a lose/lose situation: "UND just cut womens hockey - THOSE IDIOTS! They should fund hockey at all costs at that school!" "UND just saved womens hockey - THOSE IDIOTS! Where are they gonna find $60 million to fund it?"

I heard rumors of a go fund me page and found it online...won't post a link because it's in Finnish so most of us can't read it anyways.

Where did you see this commentary?

Isn't that the $60 million question?

Agreed. I don't think the incident was intentional, but there is no doubt it should have been a 2:00 minor penalty.

Your take on the Hammond play and subsequent injury is?

I didn't say "you" specifically screamed about it, I said "we" as in a lot of fans on this board. Again, the players were both skating hard into the boards when the UMD player tugs at Hammond's shoulder at the very-last second.

No way Montgomery leaves Denver for Michigan. No way. My guess is that Mel Pearson is already standing outside his MTU office hailing a cab for the long trip to Ann Arbor.

@SiouxFanatic My ears were ringing...

Red Berenson is a hockey legend and he'll be missed. I know we had our share of battles over the years (cough, cough, 1998, cough, cough), but still one heck of a career. http://www.uscho.com/2017/04/10/berenson-announces-retirement-after-33-seasons-at-michigan/ Congratulations on a great career, Coach. Enjoyed chatting with you in Sault Ste Marie back in 1998.

But yet we scream bloody murder at the hit on Poolman?

Exactly what I saw as well. Hammond would have gone into the boards straight up if it wasn't for the tug on his shoulder that made him fall backwards and go in skates-first.

According to Bucci, Northwestern and/or Illinois are adding men's hockey any day now...

To be fair, lots of teams wind up with the "unfinished business" slogan. Quinnipiac has unfinished business...so does Harvard...UMass-Lowell...Michigan would like to win one for Red...BU...Miami since they lost the title game...most teams never get a second chance.

Yup, this was the last year for either of these teams to have a shot. Expect 4 teams from the B1G at next year's Frozen Four. It's just a matter of which ones!

I head San Quentin of the California Penal League has offered him a two-year deal.

B1G

Sunday morning mimosas for DU players tomorrow! Anyone else have a chance to review the hit on Hammond and come to the same conclusion as me?

You're talking NBA and NFL...what about the NHJHL?

The Roseville MN co-rec Wednesday broomball league is a close third...followed by the B1G Hockey Conference.

It's rare for a college coach to jump right to the NHL...and the jury is still out on the Hakstol experiment.

He'd be a fool to leave DU now. Hak's got about a year left in Philly before he's run out of town.

Well, in his defense, "Maxie" was handed a sheet of paper with some notes on it. He had no clue there was a hockey game going on tonight. And, yes, the other folks on set actually call him that.

I think Maine could offer Jim Montgomery a million dollars a year to come to Alfond Arena to coach...and he'd say "nope."
