Two loves in my life: Fighting Sioux Hockey and Metal.
I'm a '95 graduate of Colorado College. I bleed green and black so my 2nd favorite team after the Sioux is Colorado College.
I also play guitar. I love anything loud with lot's of distortion-Pantera, George Lynch, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Metallica, Megadeth, Disturbed, etc. As my username indicates, I'm a huge fan of the Boston-area band Godsmack. Devil Horns to the Sky!
I lost a lot of respect for CC’s Ken Landeau when I heard him call Jackson Blake a punk on a broadcast. I thought that crossed the line for a sports broadcaster to resort to name calling.
Part of that can be attributed to that impressive run that Northeastern had. They won three in a row and 5 of 6 between 2018 and 2024 (I had to look these stats up on Wikipedia). A buddy of mine who’s a big Northeastern fan started calling it the Northeastern Invitational for a while. Lol
You’re right and just look at Lucia. He won back to back natty’s within his first couple years as Gophers coach and then how the sentiment changed as years went by and how much Gophers fans wanted a change.
Fair point.
i brought it up because I experienced it when the Gophers were able to poach Don Lucia from CC. I get it-CC’s a much smaller school and program than Western but they had an incredible run in the mid to late 90’s winning 4 McNaughton cups in a row and back to back FF appearances and I’m sure that was a very attractive draw for the gophers similar to the recent success of the Broncos. I’m sure the Gophs will go poaching if/when Motzko leaves. Just a matter of who they’ll go after. Perhaps Raboine?
Would it be possible that the Gophers go after David Carle? Would he even be interested if courted?
Edit: or Pat Ferschweiller? He’s from Rochester, MN.
Anyone have any insight as to how Wisconsin landed Cole Caufield? Anyone know what other schools he was considering? They had that season a few years back where he seemed to carry the load and got them into the tournament.
I regularly listen to Ciskie’s radio shows when he’s talking college hockey and he comes across agreeable and knowledgeable. He had a nice informative interview with Brad Schlossman last week.
So darn proud of the boys for getting the job done. Hoping Zmolek and Reschny will be alright. Hoping CC can help us in some sort of way, a win, heck even a tie.
Agreed. Sucks to lose like that but sucks for Duluth in a sense too as I heard we didn’t play all that well and they blew a regulation win and we managed to get a point out of it. And correct me if I’m wrong but that doesn’t count as a full loss in OT, right?
