46 to 46 tie: Coaches can't vote for their own team. So Johnson puts OSU at #1, Muzz puts UW at #1, and each team gets three of the other six votes from the other six coaches. Minnesota and Duluth almost tied means pretty much the same happened for the third and fourth place votes (with MJ and Muzz both putting Minn at their #2? maybe?)

I'm shocked Muzzy didn't pick MN just to screw UW over.

Just so you know you were brought up in conversation with the our coaches yesterday, Muzzinator included. (Wink)
That's all I'm saying unless other forum members who were present want to add more. (Wink,Wink)

I'm trying to imagine Mark Johnson even being aware of an individual Ohio State fan or poster here or in the stands ...

Say that if you want but my two cents worth is you may not want to be in your usual spot behind the visitors bench when we're in your barn. LOL
Wearing Depends might be a good option for you because if the Muzzinator ever turns her attention to you, you probably couldn't endure the stink eye she could give.

Exactly...Coaches or coaching staff's have a lot more to worry about than what some shlubs (myself included) post on a hockey forum.

Copious amounts of thinner intake has a bad effect on your urinary tract control. On the one hand, it actually enlarges your bladder because it makes the membrane more stretchable so it increases your capacity but on the other hand it also weakens the muscles. Everything in life is a double edged sword.

I noticed Colgate will be playing two WCHA teams this season, OSU & Duluth with the Duluth series at Amsoil.
Those two weekends will be make or break for Colgate.
