So, have the times for the games in the pod been finalized and I missed it?

Nothing yet.  

Despite the Covid craziness, I am excited they're playing every other day.  That's like a month of nothing but Sioux hockey.

I am going to make a semi educated guess and say that 65-70% of the Athletes that will be in Omaha have already had Covid.

I'd bet the over

All pod games will be on Midco

With Holden/Starman, Heinert/Brandt, and Red Mavs pxp crew doing the play calling for the pod games.

No national carriers seems like a missed opportunity, but it'll be convenient having every game on nchc.tv.  Good announcers selected too.

Huge miss isnt it?

With the increased lockdowns I hoped the product would generate more interest  on a national scale.

Dissapointing, but at the same time, nice to have it on midco.

Maybe Midco will sell the rights to Fox regionals and whatnot. CHN has Duluth games broadcasting on My9.

I suppose that is the possibility.

If you're Berry, are you looking at the Transfer portal? With an increasing amount of Teams shutting down, I'm guessing we'll see the numbers in the Transfer Portal keep increasing.

Currently:

Goalies: 3

Defense: 8 

Forwards: 14

There is a Spot open at Forward. If a Top player enters, do you try to get him? I'd say absolutely.

Jack Adams from Union would be a good get.

Who is the last Mass. native we've had on the team? We've gotten some east coast blue chips lately (Pinto, Moore, Morrow), but none from the bay state.

So what happens to the "pod" now that Colorado College has "paused" team activities for 14 days?

The pod is a pea short? 

[mikejm]

It certainly throws the plan into turmoil.

Why? The bubble starts a day later. I am sure they can manage to reconsider CC's and opponents schedule if need be. If it's moving 1-2 games.

Sigh.......

[Sioux Lite]

On a brighter note: Sioux Lite 2.0 Podcast is here: Our first guest will feature Evan Trupp. I'll post link when available. What should we ask him?

I love the “BIG10 is back” narrative that is playing out right now.   Much easier argument to make when your teams don’t start with a .200 winning percentage against non-conference opponents. I do think some of those teams have made a step forward but some in Ann Arbor are already trying to add a trophy to the case.  Going to be a weird year in terms of understanding how conferences will stack up against one another. Thankfully there is no doubt the NCHC  will be the measuring stick for everyone else.

Thrilled they're not any earlier that the 3 o'clock hour for the early game. Makes it easier to be able to view. Don't mind if I do crack a beer and watch a game at 330 on a Tuesday...

I counted six games with 1205p start time. Three games for those days

[Sodbuster]

I don't care if they're 2:30 A.M. start times...........just so they play.
