@RealCGriff No shit you played a real team that actually plays a well rounded game. UMD was better than Penn State the entire year

Gavin McKenna was worth every bit of hype. He brought a ton of juice to the program and to college hockey at large. One of the most talented Penn State athletes ever and we can’t even make it past the first round when we have him. Disappointing season to say the least.

UMD +1300 to win the Natty? Seems like good value

I don’t get the Bucci hate. He’s passionate and is one of the few national media figures who promotes college hockey. Some of you are just hating to fit in.

@Braylon_Breeze Honest question - if neutral site games went away and they were hosted by the 1 seeds in the region, do you think the 2-3 matchups would have more fans? That’s still an issue. And what if the host 1 seed is upset first round? It’s not as simple a fix as people say

It’s already been said, but the regional neutral sites just need to be done away with. Games at this level in the sport shouldn’t have empty seats everywhere and shouldn’t be a completely dead environment. It certainly isn’t helping college hockey attract viewers on TV.

Every parent ive seen so far has told me they cant stay for the 9pm game. Too late for their kids. Gotta get home. What a move by the NCAA. Geniuses.

@MikeGrinnell_ @spittinchiclets If neutral sites ended only the 1 seeds would host, so irrelevant to even bring up Providence and QU. Instead of traveling to South Dakota they would be traveling to North Dakota.

@dougpretzel @BOOSKER414 Two titles is still a gap, but I wasn't talking about them. I went to UMD and said in the original tweet that I root for Dogs if the Gophers aren't playing. I was talking about St. Thomas, St. Cloud, Mankato, and Bemidji.

See I don't get this at all. I could never root for rivals of my school. I root for the Gophers and against UND and Wisconsin. If those three teams aren't playing, I cheer for UMD or the team with the strongest MN ties. I cheer for my state over my conference.

You’ve got it all wrong. We don’t like the other NCHC teams but we HATE the B10 and HE conferences. We hate the B10 bc half of y’all left the WCHA for a “better” conference. We hate the HE bc the media hypes them up as the best. That is why we root for other NCHC teams…

@BOOSKER414 I'll also add too, they are all little brother programs to me. They have significantly fewer titles. I don't care if their fans root for my team or not. I do not think about the fans of those teams at all.

Yearly reminder: don’t fall for the NCHC-led conference pride propaganda. Screw Michigan, screw Penn State, screw Wisconsin, and to a lesser extent, screw Michigan State.

@MNHockeyDog @AHABulldog And nothing in 3 years and can only recruit in Hermantown? Sorry, he’d be gone anywhere else.

@MNState0fHockey I think he was the best coach available, and he’s a hell of a coach. As a UMD fan I’m glad he’s out at SCSU. And I didn’t see Ferschweiler or Carle leaving so I’m not sure who would be better to step in. Players love him and now he can get anybody

Incredible hire by the Gophers - which is scary to say. I hope MN fans listen to their own players like Brock Faber who know how special he is as a coach, especially for player development. Now he has the resources of arguably the most historic program in college hockey.

@Bulldog14411 @GophinAround @GopherHockey Yeah it’s a shit hole, and losing money big time. Just saying the program was still in decent shape his first few years. Again, I like Larson. If any other school in the country hired him I could find joy in his success.

@GophinAround @GopherHockey Dying school? To be fair SCSU had made the NCAA tournament 5 out of the prior 6 years before Larson took over. But I like Larson, hopefully gopher fans run him out of town just in time to take over for Sandelin at UMD.
