    agree on the point system. why a win in regulation isnt more rewarded when you're giving out loser points is dumb. i go back and forth on the playoff format. I like the rivalry aspect it encourages, but it also can put your upper teams hitting each other early and getting worn down then being...

    You really don’t. Michigan state added shoudy and Colin Ralph. It balances your whole group. Defenseman’s biggest jumps are typically fresh to sophomore and sophomore to junior. If we went back 2 months ago, you would’ve said none of these guys should be on a Gopher roster, much less be a 2nd...

    Michigan has zero 1st rounders playing defense. MSU has zero 1st rounders playing defense. PSU has one ND has one who's playing the 3rd most minutes as their defensive pairs go (I am counting Verhoeff as he will certainly be a top 2-3 pick) and another who is playing the 4th (weirdly enough...

    i mean comparing it to one of the best defense cores ever in college hockey isn't fair, given it does not take that to win a FF (definitely wasn't Western's last year). I will say, I do agree with your player ratings overall (though I'd probably put Harper higher provided the role he is asked...

    They've got a bunch of AHL guys and several other NCAA prospects ahead of him (moreso based on age). I would be completely shocked if he wasn't back next year. He just turned 19 and was Bob's WJC captain. Add to that and he seems to love the U so he'll be back and likely the captain next year...

    Rough estimates based on NPI customizer as obviously can change based on other teams results 8-0: 14; would probably need 1 win postseason 7-1: 15/16; would need 2 wins 6-2: 19-20 and unlikely, but not impossible with winning 2 games. You'd need chalk everywhere though (so I'd put it at very...

    yep. if they sweep this weekend, will be pretty close to Gophers locked into the 4-5. Pretty much no way to catch anyone else with who each of the teams have left. Hopefully ND can grab a couple points off WI this weekend as having home ice would be preferable if they're going to have to somehow...

    So he had no idea what he was doing outside of analytics and Wall Street projections, Which has been pretty apparent since they hired him. The timing is really weird but yeah I wouldn’t want him around the draft as it doesn’t seem to be that he adds anything personally other than he could be...

    you're arguing different things. Darnold could go to a super bowl. he's shown that. he's also shown it takes the right team around him to do so. they clearly seemed to think they could not assemble that roster (biased in no small part to the shambolic effort against the Rams preceded by a...

    He was ranked 9, 12, 14, 22, and 33 (espn) and an overall “reach” that is typical for the qb position. I didn’t like him as a prospect and wanted really any of the other qbs aside from Penix (but I am biased because I hate Michigan lol). Again the argument was to try to shore up the lines...

    To the tune of 40 million. They could not keep him for the dollar amount (ditto on the 30+ million he got) for the holes created elsewhere. Again this is espn talking heads that are saying we “didn’t want him” or forced him out. They couldn’t afford him while doing the other things they needed...

    I put zero stock in these random hit pieces that come out after. Clearly both KOC and KAM thought they could try make it work. They decided who to bring in to back him up. Zero people said anything when he led the bears comeback. The issue is KAM has been poor drafting and lives behind...

    overall that was fun. hopefully this was some young guys learning to win. I'm not optimistic but they have an additional 5 very winnable games in a row. as an aside, BU now under .500 again. some of this is team softness and the chances they give up (shocker that a bunch of draft picks don't...

    i did love everyone booing the defenseman after he blocked it, even if the students probably were just booing over the culvers and not that that would've been incredibly historic

    My only gripe was they called a ton on the ball that was vastly different between the two halves but next to nothing against bigs or cutters: it was like the WI guards got the SGA whistle (if they don’t start doing something about the theatrical head jerk at all levels they’re going to make it...

    That might be the most pointed about the flailing a leg I’ve ever seen a college coach. I’d guess it would be much more explicit had jcj gotten hurt as he came real hard
