    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    I have been wondering for about a month now whether the depth of this season's malaise stemmed from it being known within the program that this was likely to happen.

    BuckyB makes me look like a polite, genteel nice guy.

    2025-26 Penn State Nittany Lions

    My sister is on the Penn State faculty, so I had a free place to stay if I'd gone. But, aside from the Gophers falling on their faces, I decided to adopt a couple of cats instead.

    2026 Coaching Changes

    It's a lot more complicated than that. What might look like a subsidy to those on the outside is considered a marketing expense by the NBA. They believe that growing the fanbase of the NBA itself requires demonstrating that they care about women's basketball as well as men's. If they don't do...

    Transfer Portal 2026

    I'm am, in general, a believer in following rules. However, unjust rules should not be rotely obeyed. The rules around transfers are unjust, and I don't care if anyone follows them. They are designed to give the athletes as little control over their own futures as possible.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    I'm not going to dump on Murphy too much. Her disciplinary breakdown after returning from the Olympics was a symptom, not the problem. The whole team, or at least most of it, was just as guilty. Murphy's issues were just a lot more visible than the others.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Because I don't like the way she runs that program. My objections aren't quite what the others' are. I dislike the gamesmanship. I don't like the determination that the refs can't call everything, so just keep committing penalties. I dislike the face-off bull****. And she manages to be even more...

    Transfer Portal 2026

    The rules are set up to screw the players. The NCAA (and its member institutions, so it matters) are throwing a temper tantrum over athletes having any power at all. Go look at what they've proposed to Congress about legislation they should pass. I'm dismayed about where college sports is...

    Too much dreadful goaltending for MN.

    2025-26 Penn State Nittany Lions

    Congratulations to Penn State for stepping up to be the third Big Ten team in the Frozen Four after the Gophers made it clear that they weren't interested.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    Resurrecting this. Branch Rickey had a philosophy that it was better to trade a player a year too early than a year too late. I think the same thing applies here. There are now enough high quality players available to both North American teams that it's best to retire the veterans a cycle too...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    No. Pretty much right after that last post, the Gophers made it clear that they had quit on the season. The lack of effort and discipline over the last few weeks has been embarrassing. Today has to be the last game Brad Frost coaches at Minnesota. Both he and the players have been going through...

    2026 Winter Olympics

    I never said that Simms is as bad at Murphy. But I've watched her take more than a couple of cheap shots. The difference isn't nearly as great as certain Badger fans like to pretend.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    Yes, I realize that it is speciesist to argue that not all Badgers are gilded angels. You guys really need to develop some self-awareness about your own players. Believe it or not, I've watched Simms play. See also: Roque, Abby.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    Th Simms is the reason I have a hard time taking Badger fans' sanctimony over Murphy seriously.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    The Olympics is a short tournament, so Abbey Murphy has to take advantage of every opportunity to introduce herself to the penalty box attendant. She's just being polite.

    I made it as far as Ann Arbor, but my annual six weeks of cough and congestion hit particularly hard, and I drove back to Minneapolis on Thursday.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    So, where does this program stand? The Gophers are pretty comfortably the third best team in the WCHA, and the third best team in the country. NPI has a known issue of overrating a good team that puts up a great record against a weaker slate of opponents. Penn State isn't as close to Minnesota...
