    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Not how I saw that play. The UM forward was attempting to cut to the front of the net, and the SCSU D made contact to prevent that. The Gopher was able to get to the outside of the post so the contact wasn't as severe as if she'd skated right into her. I realize that the goalie is concentrating...

    I'm sorry for your lost posts; I can imagine that you put a lot of time and effort into them. And not only your more formal write-ups, but the other posts around seasons to remember. IMO, the takeaway for all of us is to do better moving forward. None of us can control how other posters are...

    Fun With Numbers: 2025-2026 NPI, KRACH, GRaNT, and whatever else is out there

    I'd be surprised if UW weighed the PairWise that heavily in NC scheduling. Over the years, Johnson looks to have transitioned from trying to include an OOC NCAA tourney team to including weeks in the schedule where the focus can be largely on the Badgers and playing the way that they want to...

    Hardly, although some with the mathematical abilities needed to do so aren't social enough to find their way to a social media site to talk about it.

    Fun With Numbers: 2025-2026 NPI, KRACH, GRaNT, and whatever else is out there

    Why don't they just use a system that doesn't have a ridiculous concept like a "bad win"? It's not like such a system doesn't exist. Instead, every so often they roll out another bandage to try to hide that blemish. Thanks for all of the work that you're doing, both figuring out what needs to...

    Nothing anyone else has said is incorrect. Maybe if you add up star levels for recruits, if such a thing exists for women's hockey, this is one of Frost's best classes; I certainly wouldn't know. A few years ago, Marney Gellnar hosted a 30-minute program on FSN with Hannah Brandt, Lee...

    In the context of life in the USA, I suppose this qualifies as a very minor disappointment, especially given that it has been difficult to care for a while now. However, it does serve as another reality check on where this program is (and isn't).

    I accept the truth of your first sentence. Given how narrow the gap between UM and BC was, getting swept by any team better than BC is the only rational conclusion.

    I thought of your program while at Ridder this week. I've seen them play in a variety of locations over the years, from All-Seasons Arena in Mankato to the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud and several different Frozen Fours. Coach Sisti always was willing to talk and always had pride in his...

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

    She had her reasons, even if I don't agree with them. In the case of #2, that was payback for a play last night where she ran her into the boards. Personally, I wouldn't be putting my team down a skater when my goalie is 2 minutes from a shutout, but then I wasn't the one who got drilled. For...

    I thought that BC played some decent stretches tonight. The game turning one-sided on the road this early in the season was foreseeable, but not to that extent. I suppose the coach has her reasons, but I wouldn't have made the starting goalie go back out there for the third. She deserved better...

    That's good to hear. Maybe I'm too influenced by talking to non-Minn. Gophers from 20 years ago about their path to UM who would say, "I'd heard of their men's team, but I didn't know they had a women's team until they started recruiting me."

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    I agree that pride in the program is important, and that's part of my concern. By my count (so take it with a grain of salt), there are 16 former women's WCHA players coaching in the league. UM is the only program without one, but there are five former Gophers on the list. A lot of what Muzzy...

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

    This was my first time to watch BC live in person since ... the 2015 FF maybe? I guess they are still playing the same basic style of be aggressive, force turnovers, and capitalize. Defend? Hey, we wasted one of our six players by having a goalie, and we aren't sacrificing any more offensive...
