I thought hockey had a diving problem (it does) but soccer is at a whole different level. People falling right and left, grabbing their head or leg like they’re seriously hurt. Then they get back up and play like nothing happened. Pathetic.

If James Patrick and Jake Sanderson can stay for two years there is a reasonable chance that Carels will be here for two years also. It’s a good jump in difficulty going from juniors to college, not to mention another big jump for the NHL. Let’s see how it plays out.

I have a hard time taking a sport seriously that won’t keep an accurate clock.

The BU game. We won that game and it was stolen by incompetent officials.

All fine and well until the linesman misses an obvious offside call that results in a game winner. Rather than eliminate the review I would like to see it more like the NHL. Lose the review and it’s an automatic 2 minute minor for delay of game, no using the timeout to avoid the penalty.

Seems likely. Looks like he wore the “C” last season so he probably fits the mold the coaches are after.

Committed? Changing schools every year is not my idea of commitment.

I would prefer to eliminate the 3x3 completely (& shootouts). If tied after 60 then play 5x5 for 5 minutes (what we used to do). 4x4 would be ok if you want more open ice since that happens during games, but 3x3 almost never occurs in regulation. The winner gets all the points, loser gets nothing. If it ends in tie then split the points. If you still want 3 points for the winner, then each team gets one point for a tie and no one gets the extra point. Might incentivize the teams to take chances and go for the win in OT.

Add Carels, DuPont, and the Ruck twins and call it a day.

Since UND has never won more than 3 championships in any 15 year period I would be happy with 3 in the next 15. I would also be making a lot of futures bets on UND.

Looking at that right now it appears to be a very weak schedule. Could turn out much different but hard to get too excited about it.

Denver gets some breaks from the refs? Hard to believe, they always get the short end 🙄

That’ll probably do it.

Certainly feels like Denver’s going to win this game.

Based on history I can’t pick Duluth. It’s been 33 years since the last time they won a league regular season title. Sandelin has never done it. I would probably go with North Dakota or Denver.

Denver wins it

The longer this goes the more I think Denver wins. Michigan will make a mistake and Denver will capitalize.

If they’re calling that in OT then they should be calling everything.

Wow, terrible call.

Neutral site regionals will always have attendance issues. From the time you have the selection show until the regional is way to short for a lot of people to make travel plans. My suggestion, if you want to maintain neutral sites, would be to schedule a week off prior just like they do for the frozen four.

It was a cross check. However, that happens numerous times in every game without a call. The proper call should have been to ignore the cross check (like usual) and assess a two minute penalty for embellishing. You will never get rid of diving unless to start calling diving only penalties.

I wish they could just hand out 5 minute majors for diving. Tired of that crap.

Michigan with a bit of flop.

Don’t need to play all tough non-conference. There are 10 non- conference games each year (unless you have exempt games). Out of those 10 you need a series against a good Big10 team, another against a good hockey east team, one (&only one) series against the CCHA, one against either the ECAC or Atlantic hockey. That’s 8 games, the final 2 should be an additional series with the Big10 or hockey east. Finally, please stop scheduling Bemidji every stinking year. Thank you.

I have a bit of difficulty being happy for a player who checked out of a season while his team was trying to earn a playoff spot.
