    Coyle knew some time ago he was going to fire Johnson and thus had time to get everything set up for his next guy prior to his 2AM "Ben's gone" announcement, including the marketing of said guy. If that "next guy" wasn't Niko, the U would let slip that other names are being pursued and use their...

    If Niko gets hired, he will pick his own staff and I really doubt Thorson will remain. It's time for a reboot of the program. I'm certainly hoping Ali Farokhmanesh comes with Niki. Ali does a lot of the recruiting, and coaches the offense. If I'm CSU, I'd try to talk Ali into sticking around as...

    Coyle's Plan Ben's team didn't make free throws. Medved's teams make free throws. If Ben's team had made free throws we'd have won a lot more games. Medved's teams will make free throws and we'll win a lot more games. More wins mean more fans in the stands. More fans in the stands means more...

    Two points: It's gotta kinda suck to be a Drake fan - they get great coaches and can't keep 'em. Of course if I were a Drake fan I could say, "it's gotta kinda suck to be a Gopher fan, they can't get great coaches and keep firing the ones they do hire") Damian Johnson should be offered a slot...

    2024-25 Wild Season

    I'm okay with it for the overtime, but they should make a rule that once you've gained control in your blue-line zone, you can't skate it out and carry the puck back across the red-line - sort of like the "over-and-back" rule in basketball.

    No matter what happens, having the bottom-three is sort of like relegation in European soccer leagues, where if you end up at the bottom of the standings you get relegated to a lower league. The fight to not be relegated makes the season still interesting for fans of those bottom-level teams.
