College Hockey 2012/13 (non UND Hockey)

Notre Dame hosting Michigan State on the Notre Dame Network NBC Sports Network.

A guy in the Notre Dame student section wearing a Blackhawks #19 with the "C". Something about that seems wrong.

Maybe I'll wear a Las Vegas Wranglers Geoff Paukovich jersey to the Ralph and see what happens.

Wisconsin and Tech going to OT in Madison... Lots of empty seats there!

[Tsiouxnami]

And, the glass shatters in Colorado Springs. 2:43 left in the game with the Gophers up 3-2. This will be a lengthy delay.

And if I am not mistaken, Wisconsin hasn't won a game at home yet...

[GoalieMask]

Anyone else watching this Gophers collapse in Colorado Springs? 4-4 going to OT.

I saw CC just scored must have been almost no time left...come on Floating Tigers.

Krushelnynski with a hat trick in the 3rd period after Goofs led 4-1.

[GoalieMask]

4-4 tie. Denver still in 1st place.

[jodcon]

So UND is 2 points behind Minnesota and 3 points behind Denver but has played 2 less conference games than either.

Take 2 from Tech next weekend and we'll be in thick of it going into the break.

[SWSiouxMN]

So who had the Purple Cows 2 points out of first place at this point of the season?

[cberkas]

Krushelnynski with a hat trick in the 3rd period after Goofs led 4-1.

Rylan Schwartz got the game tieing goal, Gopher left him wide open.

Sweet!

Hell I picked them 10th in the league this year. Oops.

They played the 10th, 11th, and 12th place teams in the league.

[brianvf]

They played the 10th, 11th, and 12th place teams in the league.

Agreed. I think once they start playing the tougher part of their schedule that they will come down to earth quite a bit.

4 (not so smaaaaat) Harvard players off the team

1) Harvard kids should not have to cheat

2) Harvard kids should be smart enough not to get caught cheating

Which of those is more correct?

[Goon]

They played the 10th, 11th, and 12th place teams in the league.

They've played the 43rd hardest schedule in college hockey going 6-0 against the bottom three teams in the WCHA who have won a grand total of 13 games combined.

2) Harvard kids should be smart enough not to get caught cheating

More importantly, they cheated in the class equivalent to POLS 115 - American Government at UND.

I took that class. If you paid attention at all anywhere between 5th grade up until college, you could pass that class without studying. I get that it's Harvard, but those kids are supposed to be academically gifted and should be able to handle a very basic government course. It's comical to me.

I'll stick this here since there isn't really a thread for this.

Cant believe Hak and company couldn't land this kid sounds like the next big thing!

I've been watching a game-worn jersey of his. Might be a good investment. The kid is the real deal.

Per RussoTrib

Gophers D Blake Thompson will transfer out of the U of M after the current semester. Hasn't played a game yet this year.

If he signs that deal playing for a U.S. college is out of his future.

More insight on the Thompson situation

With Minnesota returning seven defensemen from last year's team (including Thompson) and adding both Brady Skjei (New York Rangers) and Mike Reilly (Columbus Blue Jackets), there was little room on the depth chart for Thompson to play. The blue line situation doesn't clear up much next season either. They only have one senior and even with early departures the Gophers have 2-3 defensive recruits between Michael Brodzinksi, Jake Bischoff and Tommy Vannelli that could come in next year.

I figured something would have to give. Minnesota's recruiting pipeline is quite deep at the moment. It will be interesting to see how they juggle all their committed forwards over the next couple of years.

He already plays OHL, so college is already out.
