Gotta be!

This article sums up the future of college athletics, and it isn't pretty. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/the-ncaa-has-only-itself-to-blame-for-the-slow-death-facing-college-sports/ar-AAZPe9i?cvid=9329d92491a34cbcbf2809a979744dc4

I hate the proposed transfer rule. Free agency in college hockey. So could a player enter the portal after the selection show and play for a team in the tournament? I hope the rule would be written to prevent it. The NCAA is on track to pass new transfer rules next month. The new rules would give players the ability to transfer an unlimited number of times, but it would implement a window for entering the transfer portal. The window would open the day after the NCAA selection show in March and last for 60 days.

Hopefully they don't follow the U of Illinois and study it to death!

Good for Jost. I'm sure he would have loved to hoist the cup last night but getting his name on it is pretty cool.

So how does this work? I think that if the players vote for it, Jost could get a ring. Is that right?

And the Avs missed on three breakaways.

While it's not possible to condone what Saudi Arabia has done in the past, and continues to do, here is something to consider. It's not OK for the players to take the money but it's OK for every single person in America to buy Saudi oil? FWIW I don't like the idea of this tour, nor do I like the idea of players joining it, nor do I think it will last long.

Was nice to see Brad Malone get a few shifts for Edmonton last night. He came close to scoring a goal. Too bad the Oilers are out of the playoffs - #lastSiouxplayer.

I hope they don't let it slide even though he missed. Very blatant attempt at a real cheap shot.

Thanks!

Anyone know what team was first?

So the last time UND had a C and five As, they won a national championship. And I don't recall having a C and five As since. Logic then tells me go with a C and five As. It's obviously the path the #9. C - Senden, A Hain, Frisch, Gaber, Klevin and a player to be named later.

So, what is the transfer rule now? In the past, and maybe still, a player could transfer once. But there are players (Driscoll and Budy come to mind) that played for or will play for three teams. Is that because they went back to juniors? Is the COVID season that never was as far as eligibility goes the reason?

Yes, it is. It was my second trip to the Frozen Four. My first one was 2008 - talk about a nightmare!

Not that it makes a big difference, but IIRC 2011 should read Frozen Four, not National runner up.

Ref missed the call - definitely 10 minute misconduct

If he did instruct his players (aka students) to lie about COVID that, to me, is a fireable offense. And speaking of fireable offenses, I wonder if there has been any discussion at the coaches' meetings about ducking a game? IMO going forward if a coach/team pulls a low class move like that at a minimum the game should go down as a loss/forfeit and count accordingly in the Pairwise.

I know it wasn't Harris, but Frenchy Fuqua? The name escapes me.....

Pearson's tweet says "Not a bad haul this year".

I guess that Ice Breaker trophy is a participation trophy. Kinda.

This week's sign of the apocalypse.

I guess I semi-agree. Bringing Hain and Senden back doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't bring in Spicer. If they did that hopefully the kid knows he has to earn ice time just like anyone else. If that means he sits in the stands for a few games and decides to leave for greener pastures so be it. I don't think the possibility of Hain getting injured should be a consideration - more like 20-20 hindsight.

No

I kinda liked "AND THEY SCORE AGAIN!!!!"
