3-0 after 1...so far, so good.

Edit: 5-1 UNH...Michigan scores a token goal with about 5:00 left in the game.

Michigan now down 5-0...at home...

No worries, Mariucci, it looks like Michigan State and Penn State will help your cause tonight.

Good call, Scotty!

Wait a second...mighty Michigan's home opener (save for two exhibition games) and they're getting rolled by New Hampshire 4-0 at the end of 2? But I thought only Dave Hakstol and North Dakota were capable of such embarrassing performances?

Northern Michigan blanking Wisconsin...UNH shutting out Michigan...Miami up three on OSU... #Big_10_Top_Dogs

Nice penalty with about 80 seconds left in a one-goal game...the crotch gesture to the fans...skating around after a Montreal goal looking for a fight...he's been a head case against the Canadiens since last spring.

Soo Lakers top the Gophers' .6 goal and score with .1 left in the 1st...2-1 Irish.

Typical diver...spin around on the fall...head down on the ice...peek around to make sure call has been made...then make a miraculous recovery and bounce back up on the ice. Textbook.

LSSU @ Notre Dame on NBCSN...0-0 early on.

I knew it!

OK, Bruins fans, I think it's becoming quite clear that Milan Lucic isn't playing with a full deck.

On paper, looks like a great series. San Fran has been spoiled as of late - this Tigers fan wants to see Kansas City be a winner again. RIP Dan Quisenberry and Dick Howser - your Royals are back in the World Series.

Godsmack has been posting an awful lot lately...almost like he has a lot of time on his hands these days. I think another code has been cracked: Godsmack isn't just an ordinary joe - he's Scott Owens!

I'd notice you being AWOL, too, Blackheart...haven't seen him post in a while...

Damn...I was hoping for a Royals vs Cardinals World Series...

It's the NHL 2014-2015 thread...anyone seen DaveK lately?

Day by day, darell. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I just don't get the "casual" fan who thinks it's awesome. Last night's Bruins/Red Wings games had lots of action and plenty of great goaltending. A 2-2 tie can be fun to watch...the skills competition to decide a winner ruins it. Can you imagine an early round Wimbledon match being decided by a "fastest serve" contest? A slam-dunk contest to decide an NBA game? The NHL is the only league that uses one set of rules for the regular season and another for the playoffs. It ruins a great sport.

The shoot-out is an abomination to hockey.

Only one bad thing about the uniforms in tonight's Red Wings/Bruins game...it'd be absolute perfection...if the game was being played in Boston! The home team should be wearing white!

Comley played for Mason at Lake Superior State and took over that program after Mason moved on. Rumor was that Mason wanted to retire several years before he actually did, but Comley turned down Mason's job offer. When offered the job a second time, Comley decided to take it.

I have some friends who are 30+ year season ticket holders at NMU and know a couple of former Spartan players - yes, I know what I'm talking about. Ron Mason won three CCHA regular season titles and three playoff titles in his last five years at East Lansing. The Spartans won at least 27 games in each of those five years and won more than 30 in two of those five years. Sparty also made 5 trips to the NCAA tournament and went to 2 Frozen Fours during that time frame. By contrast, Comley's first three years garnered win totals of 23, 23, and 20, respectively, resulting in 4th, 3rd, and 6th place CCHA regular season finishes, and 0 tournament titles. MSU missed the NCAA tournament in 2 of his first 3 seasons at the helm. The 05-06 team rebounded to win the CCHA playoffs and made it as far as the NCAA tournament quarterfinals, which likely saved Comley's job and set the stage for the 06-07 title team. Ron Mason and Rick Comley go back a looooong ways and no doubt, Mason certainly did not want to fire his long-time friend. I was at an NMU/MSU series in Marquette several hears ago and Comley receved a standing ovation both nights in pre-game introductions. He is still treated like a hero in the town for starting up the hockey program at the school. A Yooper hockey legend.

After winning that 1978 title with BU, Jack Parker would go another 17 years before winning another in 1995, then 14 more before winning a third crown in 2009. Rick Comley won with Northern Michigan in 1991. He was just about run out of town in East Lansing until the miracle title win in 2007 helped squelch the masses.
