The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Wiebusch also out at PSU and in the portal. I don't expect him to sign with Wisconsin, but he clearly saw the writing on the wall at PSU. That's a lot of points leaving, 69 through sophomore year.
Saw Stramel just signed with the Wild. Man, the Big10 is going to be completely up for grabs next year. Mass exodous at both PSU, MSU, and Michigan. Feel like the window is opening. Now let's get a couple Ws this week!
I'm not saying hockey will be dipping its toes in the McKenna type NIL stuff...ever. i don't know that Id want it to. The best thing WI has going for it from a hockey perspective is all the resources are already there. No one entering the portal will be departing bc of a lack of resources.
Agreed that NIL is a game changer for financially being able to keep guys that may be tempted. I cant believe any NHL team would be upset about a 3-7 rnd draft pick staying all 4 yrs with those facilities/resources in place at WI, esp after that Spittin Chics episode.
ECHL just went through a...
I dunno. Sometimes I question a lot of these guys leaving early just to run and founder in a 2nd or 3rd line in the ECHL. I don't think it is wortb it. Hone your craft with the best. Then own the AHL and be in the NHL within 2-3 yrs.
I know we are still building towards next week, and not that Im surprised, but there are a ton of Big10 kids signing. I know everyone reloads, though Ped St and MSU have had quite a few flies drop.
Notre Dame looks like they are in a rough spot next year, again. I don't see any way Hage and...
I dont think Augustine was even planning on doing anything with that puck except watch it go over his head and hit the boards. It was Shoudy for MSU that reached his hand up to try and catch it and it deflected down.
At the same time another MSU player skated right in front of Augustine...
They frame it that way bc the only thing people see, remember, or are told about is the 6 game losing streak. It amazes me how few of the pundits even mention how they were decimated by injuries on both the blue line and centerline during the year.
I tried to get Grok to create such an image to limited success. It won't draw the proper Sioux logo, but I did get a "disheveled drunk Sioux fan sitting on a milk crate smoking a cigarette" 🤣🤣
Oh I definitely know that...it just amazes me that they would put priority on a mid season ho hum baseball game over a regional final bwtween 2 of the top college hockey prgrams.
If they shifted it to ESPNU, many people dont get that bc it is in a difft price tier on regular cable.
Oh gawd, did ESPN really play out a regular season SEC baseball game btwn 21 TN and unranmed Vandy over the hockey regional final between Western vs Denver?
Wow. I have no other words, just wow.
I think this is really what most people talk about when they say they miss the WCHA; basically the 80s/early 90s. After Michigan St, Notre Dame, and Michigan left in 81 but before St. Cloud, Bemidji, Minnesota St, and Omaha joined.
WCHA was a very unstable conf save for that 80s and early 90s...
Don't forget Buckburger on Denver, Cleveland on UMD too.
But, you go to war with the army you have. And I think the adversity brought this team together.
The what if is hard to resist though.
