Penn State commit Alexander Karmanov is 7 foot, 1 inch, 280 pounds. Taken by the Sharks in this year’s draft. He’d be the tallest player on the Penn State men’s basketball team.

Weren’t they saying at last year’s draft that they were stopping doing it live in person? Old news? The league have a change of heart?

I was more referring to them accusing UND of buying championships and here every other blue blood breaks out the checkbooks. Although I would be curious how much David Carle has to spend given the success he’s had. Seems like they just load up on quality guys up and down their lineup and don’t seem to garner much media fanfare.

Gopher fans must really be salty today. They were already salty at us the other day, now they must really be annoyed with Michigan.

They probably fill the barn for UND, the Gophers, and maybe Duluth but they’re probably struggling to get butts in the seats for non-rivalry games against teams like my CC Tigers, Miami, Western, etc. But very cool you got to go see UND play there and that you had a good experience. The Herb Brooks Center is definitely on my bucket list.

So reducing exposure (via television in the twin cities) will help increase attendance? What planet is this AD on???

So Verhoeff served as an ambassador to the program? That’s awesome!

The NHL basically said there wasn’t enough in the Columbus situation to prevent him from future coaching opportunities.

I’ve done a google search and sadly, it wasn’t just Mitch Marner, Mike Commodore, and Mike Modano who’ve suffered the wrath of Babs. Just google Jason Spezza, Chris Chelios, and Johan Franzen involving their experience with Babcock. The Franzen situation was particularly disturbing.

I can listen to Commie interviews all day long! They’re funny!

Boy, the Oilers must really be desperate. NHL.com press release a few minutes ago that they’ve hired Mike Babcock as their new coach.

Yes! That’s the story I heard as well! I think Brock and his family were rather insulted by the slight. Don’t blame them either.

I recall seeing something on a hockey podcast where he was pissed at Minnesota regarding their recruitment of Boeser, or lack thereof.

Last I Google checked, Harvard had the largest endowment in the world at over $55 billion.

Any insight as to why JJ Wiebusch left Penn State?

The Ivy’s. What’s their deal? Is it some highbrow thing to play fewer games?

That’s not true! They’ve been winning the coveted Pikes Peak trophy almost every year now! The most prized trophy in all of college hockey!

I’m no expert but just using the eye test having watched him play quite a bit, he’s a solid player. Will he put up 20-30 goals? -Probably not but he has some scoring touch and can play on the PK and other situations. If one were to ask Kris Mayotte if he’s happy losing him, I would bet he’d say no, that it’s a loss to the team for sure. I’m excited to see what he can do at UND. There’s a highlight of a goal he scored against Duluth last year where he has the foresight to jump up in the play and absolutely out hustles the defender and takes the puck hard to the net and scores. Hopefully that’s what we see next season with him.

Bucci with his twisted wrister line at the end of the Tampa/Montreal game. Everyone drink!

And also, no shortage of hotties at Mad Town.

This is a big loss for an Omaha team already short on talent.

I’d be curious to know how his path led him to CC. I wonder if he was initially recruited by UND or not. I wish him and his brother all the success at UND.
