If any of our assistants left, I am assuming they would go to a program that is respected by administration and is cheered on. They probably wont leave to a school who considers hockey as an afterthought. Plus Dillion doesn't even have a year under his belt coaching and why would Karl leave?

That is just not true. If he wanted just "flashy players" as you say, why do they have winning seasons on a continuous basis? Once you get to the playoffs, it really is anyone's game.

Where did I say he failed at it or anything? It just didn't work out for him and at his current age he isn't going to be at the top of anyone's list to hire since he has it pretty darn good at UND.

Berry had his shot in the AHL and NHL and it didn't work out for him. I can't imagine an organization reaching out to Berry to be an NHL/AHL coach at this stage in his life. The professional game is getting younger.

it was for the purpose of sending him to their AHL team, not that uncommon.

You should say Mike Eaves blew it as Boeser was all about Wisconsin and was committed to go there.

Not really. If you had actually listened to the interview than you’d know he wasn’t actually gunna go there regardless if he got a tour or not.

You would've thought the GOBC would've known this information...

No. Schmidt's ultimate goal is to become a HC and staying at a ST coordinator position isn't going to get him to that goal anytime soon.

and you think Dobbs played better?

I really wonder why the Vikings didn't sign Wentz to finish out the year when Cousins went down. The wouldn't have had to trade a draft pick and it wouldn't have cost a lot of money.

You mean to tell me Kellen Mond, Teddy "2 gloves" Bridgewater, Christian Ponder, Nate Stanley, Joe Webb and Jaren Hall (Vikings draft since 2010) weren't the answer?

Vikings fans are just as delusional as Cowboy fans. The vikings are a complete dumpster fire of an organization who cannot draft QB worth a damn.

The stats between the two are pretty much the exact same. I wouldn't exactly say that Goff is lights out better than Love. You also need to remember that Love is in his FIRST full year while Goff is 8 years into his NFL career. You forgot to mention that Goff lost to the same team Green Bay and Love just lite up.

The 4 year transfer player is probably doing all the right things in practice and the rookie player probably isn’t grasping the NCAA game as fast as the coaches want him to. You’re going to tell me that you’d take Emerson over Johannes right now?

What you must not understand is that Lynn Lake Liquors is no longer, Mall of America isn't in MPLS, and you can go to another pindea tacos location if you are so scared. The attendance for the league tournament hasn't gone down like you think. Your notion of the MPLS area being "big, bad and scary" is just not true.

Some people just don’t understand….

It does smell a lot like bad decisions and regrets but overall not terrible.

Is it worse than it used to be? Probably but it's also not as bad as a lot of people assume it is.

There are over 100+ games a year hosted in MPLS and it seems like no one has been murdered going to one of them. Most of the crime has been set around 5 neighborhoods that are not really that close to downtown either. So take off your tin hat and come on down to Lyons Pub and we can chat more about this.

saying the conference is going to lose "quite a bit of money" is a big stretch. For what it costs to rent out the Xcel and for the amount of people that show up to the tournament, I imagine the conference loses more doing that then it would having the championship in Oxford.

Exactly…who cares what anyone else does, just win and the rest takes care of itself.

They have major booster money, not overly surprising.

I don’t think it would happen and I’m sure it’s being discussed out of anger and trying to persuade the B10 commish to rethink what he is doing. However, I also don’t think they care because it’s Michigan and any other power 5 conference would welcome them in a heartbeat.

I was reading an article (Michigan football leave the Big Ten Jim Harbaugh suspension? (usatoday.com)) about Michigan leaving the Big Ten due to the commissioner's handling of Jim Harbaugh suspension. Obviously, I don't care about Michigan football and if they leave the Big Ten but the main question would be is, what happens to the hockey conference if it were to happen? I don't think they would get an autobid any longer, as you have to have more than 6 teams in a conference to get one. Would they bring in an affiliate school or would we see the remaining teams disband into other conferences?
