That doesn't look terrible? <ducks>

I'd sure hope they wouldn't start a MAC conference with 4 teams, that would make even the Little 6 look impressive! In your scenario, every team would make the conference tourney semi-finals Want to bet this hypothetical travesty of a conference doesn't get an auto-bid? No way this would ever be feasible.

Had some last night, not to rub it in or anything...

I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy foods

I never look at the menu, shark 7s & pitcher of beer are the only things in my vocab there

And boy, nothing like having Alabama and Buffalo as league rivals! If that doesn't say college hockey, nothing does

Definitely agree with Cay #1, the one time I went to Wild Bill's I wasn't blown away so maybe I caught them on an off night.

I kind of figured that might be your take. Sure, the travel isn't ideal but a rebooted CCHA without Mich, MSU, or OSU doesn't sound like much of a league. In a way, it would be like UND clamoring to get back into the WCHA as it currently stands. The NCHC is a great conference run by very capable people and I think the majority of fans recognize that.

Picture everyone in The Ralph/Alerus doing this at the exact same time and letting out the most annoying screech they can think of.... great stuff

My wife and I are usually the 2 adults in those theaters without a kid, Moana was good if you haven't seen it yet

That's a pretty big generalization, I don't think the Miami poster on here MACtion would agree. I'd be curious to hear what the WMU user BroncoHeard thinks.

You don't think he'll want to be the 1st goalie to be a 3x national title winner?

I chuckled at both of these and will now incorporate them into my gameday rituals.

Either UND, UMD, PSU, Denver, Harvard, Union, BU, Mass Lowell, Ohio State, WMU, Minnesota, BC, ND, Cornell, SLU, Vermont, SCSU, BSU, QU, or UNO will win the title this year... book it

Huh?

Who needs defense? Oh wait, maybe UNO in the 2nd half of last year...

Yeah methinks regardless of what CBS thinks, Miami and WMU aren't getting out of the nchc sans $1.5mil fee without the member schools' blessing.

Why would it matter what CBS sports says? I'd think the 8 member schools would have to OK waiving any exit fee so not sure what say CBS would have.

While I agree with that 1st part I have absolutely no idea what you are saying in the 2nd part.

Maybe there's a $1.5 Million bonus for joining the new CCHA?

According to Hennessy though, he thinks Brock playing vs Omaha is very possible and that would put him at 3 weeks out from last week. Either way, my thoughts are if we get Boeser and Jost back at 100% by the Miami series at home I'll be happy.

Don't trust anything that comes out of Fargo

Hennessy has a podcast up with Pat Swanson that provides some interesting behind the scenes hockey operations stuff, however the beginning is what got my attention. According to Hennessey, he talked to USA's WJC Dr(I think that's who he said) and said we might expect Brock to play vs. Omaha... obviously not a sure thing but sure would be great to get him back in the earlier part of January as opposed to the later.

Had a buddy with money on Iowa -11 and he just about had a heart attack at the end of the game. That's what he gets though for betting against UND

So Fran admits he's done it before and he was wrong and texted to apologize to Jones? Sounds like the guy doesn't learn... Also, there was fault on UND's end too but from players is different, if you're a coach don't walk off the floor like a baby.
