It is? Teams have down periods. UND did. Does that somehow minimize Lake States great teams during that time frame. Michigan ran out on the wcha when they were no longer relevant. They dominated a CCHA where the league catered to them. Now they are struggling in the big 10. College hockey is just fine. Id much rather see success at hockey schools like st lawrence and clarkson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think the B1G schools have to be successful for college hockey to be successful. Look at the years Yale and Union won it all. It was cool to see a non-traditional power win it all. That's what makes college hockey great. For some reason, a lot of college hockey fawns all over Michigan. Why? They have all of the advantages but what really have they accomplished since the B1G came to fruition? There's probably less college hockey on TV. I'll admit I used to watch the Gophers on FSN to see if they'd lose. Since they've joined to the B1G, more and more of their games aren't on TV. By the way, it's fun to discuss this and to speculate on this. Bad news for the Gophers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Depending on what you believe Penn State's strength-of-schedule is from 22 (USCHO-RPI) to 35 (USCHO-KRACH) to 48 (Massey). By comparison, the majority of the NCHC teams' SOS is single-digit. I'll be interested to see what Penn State does when it has to face Minnesota.

My wife took me to the DU/ASU game last Saturday and we both wore our USA jerseys in honor of him. They had a nice video tribute during the first period for him...very classy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Either Tony Granato is planning on getting rid of a bunch of Eaves' recruits, or he is continuing Eaves' recruiting strategy of over recruiting. After two more commits, they are now up to 32 on their list. I hope Berry always leaves a little wiggle room for late bloomers like Poolman and LaDue or high end transfers.
