It is, 1.5-2 million to leave the NCHC.

Doesn't sound like it's an issue.

But no one is talking about those two teams leaving for the CCHA. Not one single pundit.

Sitting on top of the NCHC standings 6 points clear of WMU.

If I remember correctly, that team fared pretty well that year.

I stopped watching after the second period because I was bored with the game. The next morning I find out that USA gave up two goals to make it close. Yikes!

Yeah, it's actually winter. I just hope spring comes early, again.

My beer preferences are Miller Lite, Corona and dark beers like Negra Modelo and Guinness Stout,. I also like White Claw Mango.

I agree, but he'd be better covering the NHL and staying away from NCAA Hockey.

For college hockey, I'd really like to see ESPN move away from Bucci. He can't see past his love for Hockey East and the B1G.

This goal song is much more awesome.

Yeah, if you're a Blackhawks fan. I can't stand that song. I kind of like the Dallas Stars goal song.

Pretty good game so far.

Actually it's one. --

My question is, does the NHL needs to take a look at the testing protocol like the NFL? Twitter has been a cesspool this week. Now we have people calling for the government to shut down the country again, and some sports journalist calling for the NHL and NFL to pause the season, for what? This isn't going away.

As of October 13, 2021 -- NHL announces that all but 4 players are vaccinated

Sure $cience.

I like this plan. I think the NHL will follow suit Here’s why I say this.

I thought it was an interesting thread between the two. People are frustrated and done with this never ending virus.

I agree, I see no reason to hold them out, and I am sure they'll want to play, too.

I agree.

If UND gave out a seventh player award for the first half, I think that Louis Jamernik would be that player. He's taken a huge step forward and is a complete player that plays a 200-foot game.

Honestly, that's a great assessment. I thought the refs struggled this weekend. The linesmen were brutal, too. Honestly, after the SCSU vs. Minnesota game, how does Stern still have a job? We have the best conference in college hockey, but our officials could be a lot better. I find myself wishing the Shepherds were still officiating.
