It’s also a click bait story, too. He knows that people will read it because it’s inflammatory. He’s denied on Twitter that he was accusing MSU and UND of tampering.

Meanwhile the A-topic, the actual physical altercation between two actual coaches, fades to the background ...

PORTAL LEADS TO PUNCHES?
Report: Lobby encounter ends in swing or shove

That's the real head and subhead.

Now that's actually funny.

Wodon is dancing on the edge on purpose. 

The talks about ... whispers of tampering.
Then he mentions MSU and UND have been "aggressive" ... but then says there's no proof. 
But the mental ties have been made. 

He's trying to create guilt by inference. 

He danced right to the edge of defamation (libel, slander) but stopped just short. 

The author of the article needs to be seriously called out for his planting of a story line that seems unwarranted and speculative. Why did he pick those teams, what is his evidence?

Oh but it’s ok cause he added there’s no credible proof so it’s ok for him to write that.  

He has the protection of the Supreme Court case, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan; but was that one line in the story, done with malice.

Not a 2023 early departure, but what ever happened to Ethan bowen? I remember him committing to Vermont but I noticed he never even played last season.

Nineteen year old center with three years of eligibility left.  I'd say he will find a home pretty quickly.

I’m assuming there’s already a home

sounds like either Wisco or maybe msu…but that just reading some Twitter comments

Would a certain CHN writer call that tampering? 

[Goon]

Sounds like he’s a decent golfer, too.

On CHNs last podcast of the year McMahon mentioned that every portal entrant he spoke with said they want to go to a Big Ten team. Not sure what sort of selection bias was applied, but NCHC seems to be dethroned in the eyes of current players.

I truly think it's because of TV and NLI. As soon as hockey programs can start capitalizing on NLIs, the Big Ten is going to have a VERY wide advantage on everyone else.

Terrible they're that close.

It's like explaining RPI at RPI.

For example.... Michigan helps a kid get out of their NLI by offering more NIL money

He said on Twitter a few times. 

 

Maybe it’s because our last 2 seasons we have had older, proven goalies that were transfers instead of our own recruits? Don’t get me wrong, Wodon is definitely a tool and doesn’t like UND. But to say he’s being inflammatory with the goalie comments isn’t totally fair, given our recent history.

The portal closes on Thursday, May 18. 

The new coaching staff at Mankato will probably throw a party.

He's implying that we've been tampering, however. That's the only problem.

Former Junior goalie (maybe also player?) of the year Jake Sibell to St Thomas. I remember an article about him in USA hockey magazine and wondering why he was going to Niagra. Hopefully it works out for him.
