You are big time overreacting. Unsubstantiated transfer portal rumors are certainly not the highest quality content we get around here, but ultimately they aren't hurting anyone either. This tiff ain't worth the keystrokes, fellas. Just drop it.

Posting that that Webster "was 'requested' to enter the portal by the coaching staff due to issues off the ice" defames her. It *clearly* harms her.

An unsubstantiated rumor on a niche internet forum is a far cry from defamation. Rumors are gonna happen. Who cares if they're true or not. It's not the nicest thing to say, but I don't think Makenna Webster is out there relying on you to defend her honor. Didn't you say this fella posted that about Webster last off-season anyways? Old news at this point, and hardly worth bringing up again. She moved on and had a great season on a great team.

I posted links so whoever wants to read along can read along what was said and when. People can see for themselves how this has developed this time around.

Just because Webster herself isn't aware she was and is being defamed here does not make it OK for someone to defame her here. You can ignore it if you want; I will not.

Well congratulations to the Badgers on their win.
The sad part is we can't pick on TimothyA anymore until next season! (Wink)

LOL...This is like a gift that just keeps on giving.

No, it's not. It probably wouldn't allow you to sue for defamation, as there likely aren't any damages, but it's still defamation.

I see we have a lawyer in our midst.... Fair enough point.

Wait, what? Since when is that a thing? That's about all that I enjoy here in the offseason, now that Grant is no longer leading ice cream discussions. To Timothy's credit, he takes it with good nature, even though my schtick is as tired as those Watts/what's jokes.

Well I promised myself if we won I wouldn't troll Timothy but since we lost perhaps that promise doesn't apply?
I guess my only comfort at this point is Ohio State's men's team made the show and the Badgers didn't.
OSU and the Gophers making statements in their wins!

Bring it my friends. I'll be throwing a lot of slow fastballs you can knock out of the park as usual.

And now Penn State.

And now Penn State.

In nine games across both tournaments, Big 10 teams have now outscored non-conference opponents 51-11.

WCHA women were undefeated vs the rest. The only games they lost were at the hands of another WCHA team.

Cheese and rice. Meatchicken puts up 7 in the second period against Toothpaste. It's like the Big 10 men's teams are Bantams playing against Peewees.

When I walked out of the media room after the first semifinal, there were 12 minutes until puck drop on the second semifinal. Needless to say, I spent a lot of the first two periods of the UW/UM game writing and didn't get to watch much, so went back and watched the game on ESPN+ this weekend.

There are a ton of individual performances to call out, but one name that got overshadowed in the heroics of that game is Vivian Jungels. She did so much great stuff that doesn't show up on a stat sheet but was so impactful. Her play was so smart and impressive, particularly from a freshman. She slowed down the game, held the puck and otherwise allowed her linemates to change more than a couple of times. She was absolutely brilliant on the backcheck, including on a breakaway. She just showed a really calm, settled demeanor and knowledge of the game and how things were going on the ice around her at all times. She is a major unsung hero of this season, stepping up when Buchbinder went down.
