IMO "Neutral Site" Regionals will change if UND becomes a #4 seed and hosts in Fargo and moves onto the Frozen Four.  It would also help if the #1 seed is from the east.  I don't think they would have moved away from hosting in home arenas if Holy Cross wouldn't have knocked off MN at the REA.

Bonus points if the eastern school is BU (revenge for the Fargo Screwjob) or Cornell (Wodon's mea culpa would be incredible).

I’d be fine with that 😀

Wodon literally can't stop with this argument, he just refuses to back down.  What a horrible take.
How does he suggest we get better atmosphere at neutral sites?  And if he has legit ideas, why haven't they been implemented over the last 15 years?

Lindenwood gets their new head coach. Looks like a good hire for them.

Maybe Wodon just isn't that smart.

It was quite the accomplishment to bring a prominent college hockey coach on your podcast, ask him for his stance on the regional sites, then when pressed on the details of your side you <gesture vaguely at the past> and say I've brought these points up so many times before.  I'm not sure he could be more unlikeable if he tried(maybe that's the play for engagement). Truly an old man shaking his fist at a cloud.

If I was Carle I would've given him the Mic solo for 10 minutes and not said a word. I'd let him stumble through has piss poor stance for 10 minutes haha. 

 

Also - who in college hockey (Fans or coaches) has every truly complained about using the pairwise for seeding? I feel like he might be the only one that even has that stance.

Last time the US was at the Spengler Cup was 2013 when the Rochester Americans played in the tournament.

Hagens signing after the draft?

Quote

One of the notable news nuggets to come out of the NHL Combine this week is that Boston College freshman James Hagens may be looking to sign and turn pro after the draft.

Hagens is a potential top-five pick. He tallied 37 points in 37 games as a Boston College freshman.

"I do believe I'm ready for the NHL," Hagens told NHL.com. "Growing up as a kid, it's your lifelong dream to play in the NHL and win a Stanley Cup one day. Just want that time to come soon, and I believe I'm NHL ready."

The final year, would look better being brick and not as some dubbed "robo cop" arena

About time this gets done.

Assuming they will now shrink the ice sheet from Olympic. Alaska looks to now be the last of the Olympic ice sheets

He didn’t attend Cornell. He was a broadcaster for their hockey games for a time. I think his degree is in radio broadcasting from Ithaca College, a private school located in the same city as Cornell.

Paywall, but the ice sheet at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks reduced the dimensions last summer.  It's NHL size now, or close.  https://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/carlson-center-rink-bleachers-gets-an-upgrade/article_38c8856a-97c2-11ef-a688-bb2555726253.html

I think UAA's on campus arena is an NHL sized sheet as well.

CHN still has Olympic, I wasn't sure if St. Cloud was the last or not

Carle handed Wodon his ass. It wasn't even a fair fight. I believe that for Wodon it boils down to his beloved Cornel not having to go to a home regional against a school with a loud, packed arena. If you go back to 2005 Minnesota hosted a regional and Cornel was pissed they had to at Marriuci Arena. Obviously, Cornel lost in OT.
