Cooley not staying that extra year is always one of those you wonder how it would’ve gone. But do not blame him one bit. Seeing him and Knies blossom into stars in the nhl has been fun to watch as a guy who lost some interest in the league when there weren’t so many impact gophers at that...

I thought that insert whichever bc team, bu team or michigan team? Personally I’d disagree though it was clearly the best roster we’ve had in a long long time. Probably best starting 5 if you actually put faber on the ice in OT but that’s another rant for another time

I get what you’re saying and all is subjective, but did not feel they played “well” against Chicago, Pitt, Cleveland or Philly at least for large chunks of the game but the joy of competitive sports is just have to play a little better than your opponent and not even for the whole game and you...

Lamar is already back. If anything, it’s just as likely if not more JJ is out. Daniels will be back in 6 weeks That said, the vikes have to focus on themselves. They’ve played like ass for large stretches of the year and that’s all you can control is playing better, not who’s lining up across...

going to be interesting to see how all the CHL stuff pans out. Lots of guys playing very minor roles in the NCAA who were really good in CHL who were not aged out who would've i'm sure played pretty large minutes in the CHL this year. Will be curious to see how many head back north of the border...

as you well know, regular season and postseason are wildly different. and i do think we're significantly worse defensively without NAW and have been on the record saying losing him was a bigger deal than people wanted to admit it was.

yeah last 23 are 8-12-3 with 4 OTL (3 in the 3x3, 1 5v5 vs UMass) they've actually lost or tied their last 9 OT games, which is also a very wild streak with how much talent last years team had

You mean this team has been composed of a constellation of guys who for their entire career have massive flaws which only get compounded when our best player is out? :) Naz is an excellent 6th man scoring punch who can play you spot minutes at the 5 in a crunch (was part of the beating Joker in...

i think reasonably well through the front few rows of the uppers (one of my favorite parts of non con games is kind of roaming the stadium and watching from varying vantage points). some of our capacity crowds it does get really loud when the fans are into it, but of course from a sheer volume...

I am sure we will get a public apology from you and the rest of the crew who were impressively wrong feels like this should take next to no time to figure out who this is, though would also say one should be cautious in attributing it directly to being TTs possible attacker given we just don't...

not only that, would likely be hugely advantageous for them given they will never have the athletes other schools do. Hell they played a #2 OSU team real tight on a shit condition day in 2022 when they went 1-11 and last year was one of OSUs more sluggish offensive days they are smart to be...

yep unless they put in an age, timing, etc. eligibility rule and have a CBA they're just going to get tagged with lawsuits which will increase the number of people who can play. I'm actually a little surprised we haven't seen some of the EU/Aus football guys try to go the college route more...

was there last year. once you get the past the spectacle of the size, there's really not much else to write home about. that said, with how old it is, pretty tough to make it have all of the modernity. has it's charm and such. just kind of depends on if you're in on the awe factor. because of...

it had been a long time since he'd been above average in my mind, so personally i don't really see him being so. that said, he's a cheap option for the baggage reasons. i wouldn't have wanted the potential distraction in the locker room
