    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    The NPI is straight up math. The formula is set, and it can't be "cooked" after the fact. Grant, aka TonyTheTiger, will - I assume - have his bracket predictor up in a few weeks, and that with have duplicated the USCHO NPI calculation (which, if I'm not mistaken, is itself a "duplication" of the...

    Penn State has edged uncomfortably close to Minn in the NPI.

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    I was going to look up if MacLeod had ever had a 30-shot shutout. She's good, and she's probably had shutouts before, but probably not when facing 30 shots.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    The first period was flashbacks to Sanni Ahola at St Cloud; very tough to score on. After a while, Wisconsin would wear down the team in front of her, and get a couple goals. I feel bad for Ahola, being peppered once again, 90% save percent and still down by four goals.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    What would ruin it is if teams are wiped out by flu (or Norovirus) during the medal rounds. That's what they're trying to prevent. ------------------ An article posted on Yahoo Sports at 5 PM CST says that 1) it is norovirus, 2) 14 Finnish players were under quarantine before the game against...

    I imagine that the Canadians weren't too anxious to have the Finnish players breathing on them right now.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    Czechia vs Switzerland in the new 'not finished' arena: during the game, there were a half-dozen construction workers in bright vests and hardhats down along the glass enjoying the game. LOL (The ice and seating 'bowl' looked A-OK on TV, FWIW.)

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

    You're assuming that Title IX applies in the post-House world. That has yet to be established. And that football is fully funded. And that a fully funded football program does not imply fewer scholarships for other men's teams. And that the re-balancing will all happen "overnight".

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

    A reminder that "the maximum" changed in the wake of the House settlement. The old maximum for women's hockey was 18 "equivalence" scholarships. where one "scholarship" could be split between two or more players. There is now no more "scholarship limit"; instead, there is a roster limit of 26...

    It was a good finish by Dunne. But that goal was 90% the effort from Janecke.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    Here is the box score from the 'official' (?) web site, and it has ice time. (I went to look because of TDM's tweet that said Harvey and Laila led the team today.) https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/iho/w/team6-------------/gpa-/000100--/team-playerstatistics

    Wisconsin is graduating 'a couple' pretty good players, too. I fear Ohio may have an advantage for next year. But I'll worry about that in April.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    Some games on USA, all games streamed on Peacock. And looking at the schedule listings at nbcolympics.com, at least for tomorrow, the USA telecast of the Canada game is delayed by a half-hour from the Peacock stream (?). That's odd. (Czechia vs US - I hate it when it's Wisconsin players vs...

    MJ in the weekly press conference: Halverson was "going to skate today after practice" and they'll see how that goes, and go from there.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    I took it, generally, as a reference to "The Wizard of Oz", where the witch trying to get the ruby slippers from Dorothy (they were the 'silver shoes' in the book) is the Wicked Witch of the West. Her sister is the Wicked Witch of the East. But... Glinda is the Good Witch of the South, the one...

    2026 Winter Olympics

    There was some discussion of this in early January in the "Wisconsin thread" - including the info that the ice itself is not only not "Olympic size", it isn't even NHL size (though that was maybe the case last time, as well ). But a more recent update on the problems is good, is timely. (The...

    2025-26 PWHL season

    They could maybe do it mid-week, with an early enough start time for kids to be out on a "school night".

    Should they meet again this year, Wisconsin better not wait until the second game to start playing.
