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

    My guess is that they don't want an endless list of challenges for missed trippings, etc., but the powers that be wanted a way to remedy the situation if a truly dangerous infraction went unseen (or just uncalled). I'd guess we're still a few decades away from an NBA-type rule where you...

    WCHA 2025-26

    Because we're on the topic of international sporting events, I'm wondering how many visitors we can expect for the World Cup this summer. "Welcome to the USA! Just keep your papers handy, or we got some zip ties with your name on them." Luckily, nobody is counting on me to solve this or any...

    Until 1998, there weren't NHL players in the Olympics, but now there are. In all sports, the thinking has evolved to being one of having the professionals set the bar in the Olympic. The players in the PWHL aren't rewarded so richly that they should be legislated out of the the chance to compete...

    I know that I've never seen a play like Murphy's assist on the 2-0 goal before in women's or girl's hockey. It had the creativity that you typically only see players attempt in shootouts. E.g., Kessel had a shootout move where she would draw a circle around the sliding puck with her stick blade...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    The Mankato broadcast team took the position that the loss could be blamed on rebounds bouncing right to Gophers. IMO, that tends to happen when you leave opponents wide open standing in front of your goalie. The Gophs definitely skated harder than they did on their last trip south; however, I...

    The questions I have involve the status of players whose surname begins with "P". Can't score if you're not on the ice.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.
