Not from today's game, obviously, but pics of the Western Michigan jerseys. You can tell these were special event jerseys - note the absence of the NCHC patch.

Holy buckets did that linesman get smoked on that check. Ouch!

Gemini made the dazzles as well...in fact, they were first to do it.

The 2013 games there were Miami vs Notre Dame and Minnesota vs Wisconsin. What's the over/under on attendance for this game, 2,500?

You are indeed correct, cberkas. You can see pictures in the link below. Today's jerseys have a special event patch. http://www.mlive.com/broncos/index.ssf/2014/12/wmu_hockey_ties_colorado_colle.html

Looks like the grades are in! Miami: Adidas can stop with the 3-stripe look on everything. Their name is already on the front anyways. Front M logo almost invisible from a distance. "The Brotherhood" on the sleeve is something different and a nice touch. However, the state of Ohio on the back with the M over it (above the nameplate) and some sort of slogan inside the collar make this jersey quite busy. Looks like Wisconsin from the back. Grade: C- Western Michigan: I love the vintage color and the script "Broncos." The tiny "Western Michigan" where "Reebok" usually is located is sweet as well. Shoulder yoke, stripes, number on the front below the script but slightly off-center. Somebody did their homework on these beauties. Grade: A+

Are you sure?

These games will impact the standings in both the B10 and NCHC. What a joke.

Is that one on TV anywhere?

Which, in my humble opinion, looks better than this... Denver doesn't help matters by throwing the USA flag on their other side. Throw in an A or a C and that's a fuster-cluck of patches on their jerseys. I don't have pictures of Merrimack's jerseys but I like that they put flag patches on the back of the jersey right above the nameplate. The flags are of the specific country that the particular player wearing that jersey is from. Pretty cool.

Hockey East does too...

The Big 10 uses team-color conference logos...

Penn State up 2-0 on Wisconsin in the 2nd...

We're not all that far removed from the 2 games total goals scored method of playoff advancement...the shootout is, was, and always will be a stonewashed pair of Bad Idea Jeans.

Paging Sicatoka again and a "Buy/Sell/Trade" forum...

$585K this season + another $165K in playoff bonus money.

Hey, here's something new and exciting...outdoor games today at Soldier Field in Chicago! That Western Michigan/Miami game should pack in a few humdred fans...

Much like Michigan Tech, I hope Colorado College gets back on the map in NCAA hockey soon. Storied program there...it would be nice to see it turn around.

Concur. Sit back and hope the goalie makes the save. Not good strategy.

Officials not afraid to put the whistle in the pocket now, eh? Bristedt totally trips that Buckeye...no call.

I've seen Wisconsin and Ohio State play multiple times this season. IMHO, Wisconsin's a better team.

The Buckeyes could use some skating lessons. I've seen NASCAR races with fewer blown tires.

Is Lucia seriously b*tching about Sam Warning absolutely smoking that OSU defenseman by the net?

Finally caught a close-up...yes, it's SP.

I believe that's 3 power play goals for Minnesota. Play them 5 on 5 and you should beat them easily. Go shorthanded constantly and you will pay the piper for it.
