    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    I'm not sure what span of years you are speaking about. Frost's first year as HC for the tournament was in 2008. The most positive stat in his favor is that the only year the Gophers didn't make the tournament was the Covid mini-season, when HEA had to members on the committee and gave their...

    2026 Frozen Four

    Thanks for that. In the back of my mind, I remembered an ECAC team defeating another ECAC team to get there. I knew that "Q" had a good showing, and Yale had a season where the stars aligned, but I have no real memory of them playing an FF game. I guess that was the year where UMD beat UM on the...

    Is he loathe to take on much in the way of teeth in the schedule? Yes. OTOH, how shocked would you be if any team capable of making the tournament the season before dropped the Gophs?

    2026 Frozen Four

    If you truly want to experience the sport, then you have to do it. I know that you've historically enjoyed the games where the red menace beats the crap out of Little Sisters of the Poor or whatever confection MJ has decided to offer up to the fan base as "competition". And I understand the...

    Boston College Women's Hockey '25-'26: It's The Hope That Kills You

    Maybe they should just continue to use it, and the death-defying aspect will draw more fan interest.

    That might be the greater concern, when there are multiple questionable decisions per shift to consider.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Cool. You can be our resident expert on blind squirrels. Speaking of which, the Gopher defenders looked a little like that when they allowed a goal on a 1-on-4. It wasn't like they were trying to stop a modern-day Hilary Knight, but if there isn't any commitment to staying between the attacker...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    In 2006-07, the Gophers were swept in a series by MSU. That was Coach Halldorson's final season. Just saying. My better half and I were both suffering some respiratory virus or whatever it was this week. Maybe the Gophs were dealing with something as well. If not, they sure managed a...

    WCHA 2025-26

    I heard the theory that the increased width changes the angles of plays originating near the boards and throws off goalies and skaters. If UW was still a lockdown team like it was 20 years ago, then I could see where having to defend more ice would throw off their gameplan of taking away time...

    WCHA 2025-26

    Not sure how much the big ice helps them versus UW, as that tends to ultimately favor the team that has better speed and puck skills. When Eric Rud was their coach, he told me that versus UM, he felt that the wide surface hurt his team more than it helped.

    What is the worst thing about women’s college hockey?

    I agree with the main point. For example, WCHA games scheduled for Friday evenings are far more likely to start at 6 pm than they once were, and that looks to be the preferred time slot. Maybe the reason is that the sport is trying to target younger children more than it once did; I don't know.

    WCHA 2025-26

    Are there 15 teams in the country better than SCSU? Maybe, but I can't name them.

    SCORES

    Owing to Colgate's 3-0 defeat of Cornell, the unbeaten ranks are down to only PSU. Cornell was at #2 in the NPI, but dropping one to the team Grant shows at #19 will do a little damage.

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    Back when my family still owned dairy cows, my mother would make what was called farmer cheese. The final step before serving it was to put it in the broiler briefly and brown a thin crust on it. The result looked much like the pictures from Cheese Brothers. It had a higher moisture content than...

    Boston College Women's Hockey '25-'26: It's The Hope That Kills You

    As usual, I find myself in the 2% demographic. And it's not because I think that she's some elite coach. The problem is that most NCAA coaches these days are competent, so it is difficult to lift a program up strictly via coaching brilliance. Look at some of the best coaches in the game and how...
