Last week a few people had issues with me for not saying anything about the Beavers being ranked so high after I took the pollsters to task last season for having Air Force Academy ranked so high. I actually wanted to wait till after this weekend’s series with the Gophers before...

Another reason to clean up the language. Check out his blurb from Ryan Bakken's weekly column. Instead, it’s because The Hammer, aka The Hakker, aka Coach Dave Hakstol said to knock it off at a student forum. The Hakstol glare can melt granite. “He definitely commanded the...

I think that after watching this game tonight there will be a lot of us left the rink with a bad taste in our mouth. I think a blind five year old could have come to the conclusion that the officiating was horrid in this series but especially bad in tonight game. It doesn’t even...

As one of my friends said tonight Sioux win over the SCSU Huskies was a ho hum win. I think he is right and it wasn’t a very exciting game and the Sioux did enough to win the game. I also never felt like UND was going to lose this game or let it get away from them. The Fighting Sioux...

Here is an interesting Article about Mercyhurst College and their interest in pursuing membership in the CCHA. It would appear from the article that Mercyhurst is actually interested in joining the CCHA but also in the CCHA's geographical footprint as well. It would also appear...

Here is what Huskies beat writer Kevin Allenspach has to say about this weekend’s series. Hopefully UND will welcome Mike Lee to the WCHA and the REA with hanging a bunch of goals on him this weekend. UND is 0-4-2 in it’s last 6 games against SCSU in the REA. Just before the Huskies...

You have to wonder if Gopher fans realized that their loss to Holy Cross would end up be such a significant part of hockey history? Their team was the first number one seed to lose to a sixteen seed. You can bet that Sean Leahy is probably recieving some hate mail from angry Gopher...

This is really good news because Lucic have missed him and Lucic is one of the core players of the Boston Bruins and his toughness is needed in the Boston Bruins line up. If the Bruins can get Milan Lucic and Marc Savard back and David Krejci going again the Bruins could do some serious...

As a Bruins fans the trade of Kessel to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a couple of first round draft choices that may or many not turn out really gets stuck in my craw. As the Bruins struggle to score goals this season and I watch Kessel make one of the best goalies in the NHL look sick...

I saw this over on Todd D. Milewski's weekly blog post. Interesting stuff and I wish that more coaches would say these types of things. It seems like today's coaches coddle their players too much. If there's a drill that helps hockey players gain composure, you can bet...

This some of the best news that I have gotten all week. Krejci back from his bout with H1N1 and Milan Lucic is back skating with the team and that should mean he will be playing in Bruins uniform very soon. With Lucic recovering from a broken finger I don't expect he will be getting...

Apparently some don't think BSU is worthy of the 7th place ranking in the USCHO Poll/USA Today Poll; first off it’s early and a lot of traditional teams have fallen flat on their faces early in the season. Some have asked me why I am silent this season when BSU is ranked so high...
