Blackhawks about made it 5-2, not sure how the puck stayed out.
-
Toews with 2 points, 4-2 Blackhawks.
-
Goaltending optional at the United Center?
Predators 2nd goal was a well placed shot.

Chicago needs to be better defensively after they score, 2-2.
-
Toews with a nice goal to give Chicago a 2-1 lead.

Article on cost of attendance in the paper today. Faison said UND is paying full cost for 18 men's hockey and 18 women's sports scholarship. Im guessing 13 are going to WBB since I'm assuming it brings in the most money of the women's sports. Smart move to do that.
He also said UND isn't looking beyond that because other Big Sky teams aren't. I think He should ask Bubba, Jones, Brew, Pyror, etc who they recruit against more theBig Sky or NDSU, Sdsu, Usd, Omaha, etc. If those schools do it for football and basketball UND needs to.
I think women's hockey will get full cost of attendance scholarships. Faison will wait for a Big Sky school or NDSU to make their move on full cost of attendance scholarships in football, men's basketball, women's basketball, and volleyball.

That was a soft goal given up by Renne.

That was a quick overtime, Islanders wins it 2-1.

Just when you think they can't get any cheaper.
I used to like the Canucks when Bure played for them, I just can't like them anymore.

Wash...rinse...repeat
I thought Downing was the only guy that gets penalties on the Penguins.

Looked like Chorney fell on his own.

Penguins not a very disciplined team.

Absolutely ridiculous. Talk about the odds being in their favor. How many #1 overall picks does it take to make a contending team?
McDavid looked a little upset. Can't say I blame him.
Watch next year they get Matthews.
-
Edmonton gets the #1 overall pick, odds they get the #1 pick next year.

RIT is the Tigers.

Wild got away with too many men.

Zucker got away with one there.

Chicago will go with Darling in game 3, Darling should have started game 2.

This is not good for the Kings. Jarret Stoll arrested for possession of cocaine and ecstasy.

1. "Uh . . . isn't this using stats to mislead." No, absolutely not. The capitalized heading clearly indicates that the subsequent list contains North Dakota frozen four coaching records. That list, as a result, contains the undisputed frozen four records of every North Dakota hockey coach. The post does not include any personalized opinion derived from these undisputed, verifiable facts. The post is not misleading in any manner whatsoever.
2. "Obviously, 1-7 by Haks in the Frozen 4 ain't good." Fair, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But in my opinion, it's horrendous.
3. "that in itself doesn't necessarily say anything about well he (sic) coached to get his team there." This is incorrect, too. The number immediately following each coach's name in the post indicates the number of frozen fours each coach has attended. For example, in Hakstol's case, the unequivocal reference to his all-time North Dakota record 7 frozen four appearances speaks volumes of his ability to succeed at the regional level.
4. "how many games (less) there were in the NCAA tourney back in the day". This is a good point, and one I often consider. However, this fact aids competing arguments and is a double edged sword for anyone who tries to use this argument to his or her advantage. Prior to 1977, the NCAA selected 4 teams to play in the NCAA tournament. So while there were less teams in the 1970s than there are today, if your team was not one of the arbitrary 4 to get selected, you didn't even get a chance to compete for a title. From 1977-1980 only 5-6 teams made the NCAA tournament. From 1981-1987, only 8 teams made the NCAA tournament. So similarly, while there were less opponents a team needed to defeat to make it to the frozen four, there were a lot less opportunities for teams to even make the NCAA tournament in the first place. For example, for anyone old enough to remember, think about UND hockey in 1983. UND was 21-13-2 and the frozen four was in Grand Forks. UND was infamously snubbed from the NCAA tournament. Interestingly, UND's winning percentage that year was equal to or better than 3 of Hakstol's 11 teams, all of which made the NCAA tournament due to the benefit of an expanded field.
5. "should some of those coaches have coached better and been in the frozen four more often?". Again, see above. UND followed up their 1982 NCAA title with a 21-13-2 record, which is better than or equal to 3 of Hakstol's NCAA tournament teams, and UND still missed the NCAA tournament in 1982 due to limited spots. Also, 1990 was the very first time UND played in the NCAA tournament without making the frozen four. That's right, 1990. So every time UND made the NCAA tournament prior to 1990, UND played in the frozen four.
6. "A lot unsaid". No, the post is factually accurate, indisputable, and not misleading.
Only 2 teams that Hakstol coached finished below a .611 winning % The 2008-09 team and 2012-13 team.

Two Canucks fighting one Flames player, go figure.

He's been awful so far this series
3 goals in 2 minutes, pathetic.

It's amazing the Cory Crawford won a Stanley Cup with Chicago for how bad he tends to play.
