UND was looking past them.

I wonder how bad their other goalies are if Minney is the starter.

If they don't fire Anastos at the end of the year< MSU obviously don't care about hockey.

 

I honestly think he's doing a hell of a great job at MSU.

You're kidding me, right, Goon?

Honest question, do you really care how Michigan State is doing? If so why? I am not all that fussed about it. I couldn't care one way or another if they fire Tom Anastos after the season.

Starting with tonight's game between BC and BU, this weeks games will be very interesting.   UMinn in Madison, and some good matchups in the NCHC

Penn State No. 1 for the first time ever. Good for them.

I did some digging and woof that's a bad non-con schedule. Not sure how much I believe in these guys, yet. Tons of cupcake wins, but splits against some decent teams (SLU, OSU, Mich). A win and a tie against Notre Dame is pretty good. 

They still have to play OSU two more times and Minnesota four times. Interesting team.

This thread IS about non-UND college hockey, so I think that is a fair topic to discuss here.

For the record, I don't care about Michigan State hockey either, as long as they don't drop the program.

The college hockey landscape is always better overall when Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan St are relevant year in and year out.

I think we agree, honestly, I am indifferent to MSU's struggles.

The question wasn't whether one cares about the struggle of MSU.

The question was do you think their coach is doing a hell of a great job.

Well, when schools fire coaches, they usually try to pilfer coaching talent from other schools - and that's usually schools with quality programs.  Just thought the non-UND thread might be a good place for that conversation.

When you hire the commissioner of your former conference as your head coach you're going to have a bad time.

Cool to see them snag the #1 spot in the polls, but I don't think it lasts long once the tourney starts.
When you spend your non-conf games beating up on Mercyhurst, Canisius (x2), Niagara (x2), Anchorage (x2), and Arizona State (x2)....ouch.  That's not really preparing them for success in the tourney.  And none of the rest of the B10 teams will do much to help either.

I'd be very surprised to see them make it out of their bracket, regardless of who is in their path.

I'd also throw in Maine and New Hampshire as well.

Don't laugh.
I had a coach that would make us leave all the sticks in the room for one or two practices a season. 

Hint: Some of those were pretty fun (puck-to-skate work); some ... notsomuch ... #bagskate ... 

Was on the legion team that lost something like a 16 or 18 game winning streak against Mandan(they were pretty good that year and the years to follow) and I remember in the postgame meeting the coach saying "You won't need your gloves for practice tomorrow, just shorts and cleats, shirts optional" Pretty sure everyone puked by the time we were done. got really good at running bases and hitting the corners of the bags exactly as you were supposed to.......1 guy missed and everyone had to start over

They've also only played 5 road games this year.
