@DCarleDU While we’re at it. Let’s do away with the pairwise/npi ranking. The latest change of “trust the science” math seems heavily favored towards a certain conference.

Robert, under proposed change, prior to this year, if you look at last 10 years… 30 DIFFERENT schools would have hosted in the 1st round. 21 DIFFERENT schools in the second round. Facts are facts. Nothing to do with Denver, everything to do with college hockey fans and players!

@rmkusmc @ColbyCohen36 @Buccigross All it will do is aid the Top 10 programs - and I root for a number of them. But let’s understand what it will actually do! It won’t help grow the game or CC, Bemidji, St Thomas, Clarkson, Providence, or the Maine’s of the world.

@MikeGrinnell_ @GameNotesBud Your thoughts on Penn States exit?

Zero students. What a shame. Biggest game of these kids lives. Playing in empty barn in Albany

@ChrisPress6 @MikeGrinnell_ Doesn’t make sense when there are games in Denver

@MikeGrinnell_ Stfu. Christ. Tourney games have been played at these hours since the early days of this event. ITS NOT GONNA CHANGE

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.

Ran into Riggs again at TGL a few weeks ago. Maybe the 4th time. Same deal every time. Doesn’t remember you, doesn’t care to, and carries himself like he’s above everyone. One of the least genuine people I’ve come across in golf media.

@mattbecker250 Calm down. Just like the switch to the new pairwise computer. It’s all to bring college hockey and a title to Michigan and Michigan State and the big 10 for that matter. $ talks.

Is Gavin McKenna alive? Am I reading the stats wrong? Does he not have the most points in the conference?
51 points (leads B1G)
1.50 points per game (leads B1G and 2nd in nation)

@scottcwheeler @TheAthleticNHL Not much to push back on here, agree on your assessments. Curious though about Carson Lambos? I’ve like what I’ve seen from him the last few years and he didn’t look out of place in his one call-up, albeit just one game. Was surprised to not see him on your list at all.

@CranBonesCapone @spittinchiclets We don’t care about a tournament of U20s. It’s not even on tv here for fans to care about it when it’s here. Check out our high school state tourney. Sold out 3 days in a row and every game on a local channel since the 70s
English
@spittinchiclets Maybe their fans should show up then? Pretty disappointing seeing the crowd at world juniors in minny this year wouldn’t you say
English
The kings of hockey, the United States of America getting snubbed a city for the World Cup of Hockey is a DISGRACE.

@RDPaolinelli @CakeMcJabe Or the US Olympic hall of fame in Colorado Springs.

@MNTwinsZealot The CHL kids stats are inflated because they’re beating up on 16 year olds. College hockey has turned into a year by year league. It’s not about development. You develop a freshmen he could be gone next year for more NIL. Build a team to win each year.
English
@MNTwinsZealot Nah I think most of the CHL players this year were overhyped, the top ones have been great but I do think you need to go older. Look at past champs. All older junior player. The beauty of college hockey and USHL
English
Bob Motzko not going after Canadian juniors which was a new world for this college hockey season made little sense & it burned him. Need someone young & not necessarily connected to the program which means getting away from the 90% of the roster must be Minnesotans mentality.
English
@Stubby_Clapp @Paulbak84074894 @NETBOGEYGOLF1 @FutureGophers I think they should get someone with no connection to the U. A younger coach that can relate to this era of kids. Don’t recruit guys because their dad played here or their brother is a Bantam. This might be a stretch but the program needs a Dave Hakstol type

@Hockey_HighLife @BrandonMileski Or staggered start times. 7:07, 7:17, 7:27…. No one can watch 2 games at one time but we can jump into a game at intermission. Instead of all the early games at intermission where no one watches the commercials anyway
English
@BrandonMileski Welp, 1/3 of league is still west of the CST and we know how pissed yall would be if the NHL started scheduling playoff games at 3 or 4pm on weekdays...
So whats your solution?
Or just upset over this same issue that we've seen for yrs or just mad now that it impacts MN?
English
Ah yes, a sensational first round that nobody can watch cause we play them at 9:00pm CST/10:00pm EST.
dom 📈@domluszczyszyn
extremely NHL to prioritize *the first round* and not better matchups farther down the line 🤦♂️
English
@JFreshHockey @domluszczyszyn Yea and central teams play home games at 8:50
English
@domluszczyszyn the first round is also the one where you have to miss like 40% of the games because they're happening simultaneously

@Stubby_Clapp @Paulbak84074894 @NETBOGEYGOLF1 @FutureGophers Also you shouldn’t need to take a set of 3 brothers for the one you really want. Gophers have a few examples of that.
English
@Stubby_Clapp @Paulbak84074894 @NETBOGEYGOLF1 @FutureGophers I think Gopher hockey should be about getting the best players. Not kids of alums or former NHL players. Get the best available. It shouldn’t be a back scratching program.

Like all hockey fans I’m fired up for the World Cup of Hockey to return but after winning the gold medal in EVERYTHING it’s insane to me no games will be played in the United States of America
English
@BFW Vikings are bigger than the Wild and it’s not even close. I’d even put the wild 3rd tied with the Wolves and that’s a stretch
English
I need examples of a US city with at least three pro sports teams where the NHL team is top two in fandom in the city.
Boys here said Detroit, DC and Tampa. I think I’ll give them DC and Tampa, but contest Detroit.
Some guys said Minnesota, I think Twins are bigger than Wild.
English
@BizNasty2point0 @MikeGrinnell_ How is the scheduling going to work with a possible 6-7 hour time zone change not to mention jet lag come the semis?
English
I agree with Whit. I loved the 4 nations setup because US and Canada deserve representation. I believe Europe should be included also but at the next best on best hosted by the NHL. Considering Europe just had Olympics and will get it again in 2030, I think America should had a host city or 2 in 2028 World Cup. They just had a clean sweep. I’m looking forward to Canada beating their ass next time around but I think no US host city is ridiculous.

@sportsfaan3499 @ChrisLongKSTP @PALions The proof will be in the pudding if the Greenway kid is as good as the hype next 4 years. It’s 5 straight by the way.
English
@4thLineCenter20 @ChrisLongKSTP @PALions 4 straight. Move up a class. Imagine if Paige Bueckers would’ve played 2A

Back to back to back to back to back!
They were the first girls basketball team to get 4 in a row. Now, they’re up to five.
The @PALions are champs yet again in Class AA!
Maddyn Greenway went for 33p 9r 13a in her final game, finishing w/ 5,621 career points (MN HS record).
