McKenna with Hattie against Bucky.   

Two PSU players with a hat trick in that game. Wisco had the better 1st period but just fell apart in the 3rd.

It will take a few years but I think the Rodents will have their fair share of CHL talent on their roster… As more and more high end MN kids go to the CHL vs USHL they’ll have a strong chance at committing the MN natives as usual.

Since that money goes to the school initially, it would be part of their revenue sharing. Since revenue sharing is capped at $20.5, there isn’t much revenue sharing money left over for hockey programs once football and basketball have gotten their share.

 

But, but, Pride on Ice?

DU on the verge of playing themselves out of the tourney.
Down to #13 now and SCSU up to #15.
A few NCHC teams might be on the bubble come tourney selection time.

I'm sure enjoying the Denver NPI slide...  but I'd like to rename it the NCAA Index Percentage, or in Denver's case, the NIP slip.  It's a beautiful thing.

The point is not just recruiting any CHLers, but they need Canadian CHLers who have high end skill (the top end guys) and/or high end grit (the older guys, typically from the Dub). A 90% Minnesotan roster doesn't win National Championships, recruiting purely off of convenience bias & insular tribalism really limits your player pool. 2 of their 3 best players in 2022-23 were from Pennsylvania & Arizona. Their last 2 national championships (vast majority Minnesotan roster, I know) were in major part due to guys from Grand Forks North Dakota and Austria. Maybe this season will wake them up lol. Can't just recruit Minnesota HS & Shattuck St Mary's games and expect Frozen Fours every year LMFAO.

Minnesota needs to only have Minnesotans and keep Bob for 10 more years.

Kind of hoping that UMD gets the split tonight against WMU. WMU has been hot and has two games in hand on us in the NCHC race.

I'm enjoying the Gopher's losses as much as the next person.   

Even if Minnesota wants to, would any of the top  talent agree to play Minnesota?

Some.  Even top talent can be turtling wimps.

Oh I know what they need. I was saying what they’re going to do. Which is fine by me. They might be bad for a while… 🤞🏻
