Re: Big 14 hockey is a joke

I did not knock MN. We outplayed Michigan 5 on 5. If the ref calls penalties more even, we win. they didn't and we lost. Are you really going to argue that Michigan has a great defense and goalie?

Hopefully that thought will get you through the off-season. That plus the 5 on 5 tournament champion trophy Minnesota won. Wait, they don't give out a 5 on 5 trophy because special teams are part of the game?

Based on what? Michigan is hot at the right time. Outscoring opponents 25-7 in last 4 games.

Based on horrible teams, with horrible fans and horrible refs. This year the conference is a joke. It will be a miracle if Michigan wins two games in a row next weekend.

New Big Ten fans don't understand its Minnesota not playing up to their abilities and not the other team actually playing better than Minnesota. This attitude has been going on for almost 100 years and will likely not change in the years to come even when the Gophers play Michigan, UND or BC.

It's always important to remember that nothing happens in college hockey without a gopher being the reason, according to gopher fans.

Until you've understood tArrogance (and even after), none of this makes any ****ed sense at all.

But but the refs were unfair. SMH.

So you're saying that, despite Gopher fans constant assertions against it, Minnesota is the reason the BTHC formed. Hmmm

Yeah, man. It's about effort. If the Gophers just played harder, they would go undefeated.

If it suits tArrogance, anything is possible.

I hope Michigan loses as much as the next guy but if they do flameout in the first weekend it will be because that is the nature of these tournaments, not because they are incapable of winning it all. Michigan is very good.

So nothing based on the team's play right now? Oh.

I wish them well for the Big Ten's sake but I am not holding my breath. Good luck because you are going to need it. Imo, Defense and goaltending wins championships.

You know the drill.

Re: Big 14 hockey is a joke

Pretty embarrassing that all this conference could manage is one entry into the NCAA's.

Barry Alvarez was the driving force behind the Big10 conference and look what it has produced!! Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mich State all have strong legacy's dating back to the 1960's and many championship banners hanging from the rafters. They sold the fans on more TV exposure (Big Lie #1), great conference rivalries (Big Lie #2), sold it as the premier hockey conference in college hockey (Big Lie #3) and lastly the projections of sold out stadiums and more revenue for the athletic departments (Barry's only concern when it comes to Badger hockey) (Big Lie #4).

I would vote a resounding yes to S#$@ Canning the Big Slug conference and bringing back the old WCHA and CCHA. The experiment has failed, it is time to kill the league for the good of college hockey!!
