COY awards are a joke in all sports as it is. In most cases it’s “guy who’s team we thought would be bad but actually they were good” I’m not going to campaign for Niko to win the award I’m just saying there is a reasonable argument that he has been up there with the best of them in the B1G.

There’s not really an objective criteria of what makes someone the best coach, so it’s not unreasonable to celebrate what this team has done given the lack of talent and injuries. If we look like this in a couple years we can all rip Niko for not putting together a deeper roster, but for the...

2-0 USA. All signs point to another USA-CAN gold medal game.

Come on Fins you can do this. Haula being the hero would just be icing on the cake.

USA USA USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rating makes sense as we had what looks like a few solid additions but not a lot of eye popping adds. And yes Koi was disappointing last year but you're fooling yourself if you don't think that's a big loss. That said, I think the biggest thing to be excited about is having relatively few...

Yeah if total shots were used they would have to go back and review every shot on goal to make sure the count is accurate. Although the thought of teams forcing shots from center ice late in a tie game just to boost their total is fascinating to think about from a strategy standpoint.

Any stream for today's game?

7-3 gophers

I don’t want to speak for Ope3 but I believe his point is that there is simply less money coming in that can be spent. By no means does that mean the Pohlads aren’t cheap pieces of garbage but it is a relevant factor.

I think people tend to exaggerate the level of expectations that a lot of bigger name programs have. I've heard people say things like "Matt Campbell will get fired as soon as he goes 7-5 at PSU", when PSU gave James Franklin an extension after he went 4-5 then 7-6 in back to back seasons. Now...
