    Well, 5 months ago. Columbus is a dumpster fire. Do they really want Werenski dealing with Tortorella? I mean look at how Johansen has dealt with him. Michigan is doing well this year, why leave for a losing team? Obvious answer is $$ but he's gonna get that either way.

      There were also loud whispers that Kunin would be leaving before the UND series...and then before Denver series.

      Grunwald is playing the second half, by the way.

        I hope to god an organization like the Minnesota Wild will take Kunin in the first round of the draft. They always tell their players to play 2+ years of college hockey and with the current state of the Iowa Wild I don't blame them.

          Midgets probably were the best team on the ice today.

            I know some of our supposed top players aren't playing, but I just turned on WIBA and it's 0-0 after 2. That's just not right.

            Happy New Year to all, y'all!

                Sounds like the Badgers are heavily out-shooting them. Trinity isn't some cakewalk either. Trust me, I know.

                Happy New Year to you as well!

                    So it's been 120+ minutes since a team scored on us. That's something, eh?

                      Are we talking about the same Trinity Western that that played their first two games against D-1 competition last season, ever, against Mankato and SCSU and were utterly destroyed in both games, getting outscored 20-1? Against Mankato, it took them less than 2 minutes to be down 3-0, ultimately losing 12-1, and got outshot for the game 53-5. SCSU shut them out 8-0 and outshot them 62-17.

                      Sounds to me like their goalie stood on his head today. 1-0 game, but, outshot the opponent 49-17?

                        It was a rather boring game. We shot but could never get close to scoring. It wasn't until after the goal that they seemed to have any sort of pep in their step. And it didn't last long.


                        Typical power play of all pass and little shoot. It was boring and dead hockey. Dead like the Kohl center was(which was expected)

                          So two top 10 D1 teams from last year? This current Wisconsin team certainly isn't a top 10 D1 team, at least not the first half team we saw. Mankato was on another level when it came to scoring and defending last season. Both of the games you mentioned also didn't come after winter break and on New Years day.

                          Their goalie absolutely stood on his head. We were rusty. Not enough killer instinct.

                            Just saying that I have my doubts that TW is a very good team. They're a 10-7-2 team in the own league. Their own league considers them to be below the par of NCAA teams:

                            BCIHL rosters are primarily composed of junior hockey graduates with experience ranging from Major Junior (WHL, OHL, QMJHL) to Junior A (BCHL, AJHL, SJHL, etc.) and Junior B (KIJHL, VIJHL, PJHL) in Canada and the United States. In past seasons, BCIHL graduates have moved on to play at higher levels of university (CIS, NCAA) hockey and embarked on careers in professional leagues (ECHL, CHL, SPHL).
                            Noticeably absent from that paragraph are the letters "NHL" anywhere, I might add. I just looked for a list of NHL players that have played or are playing in the BCIHL and came up empty.

                            As far as Trinity Western is concerned, I will get to see for myself tomorrow night, I guess.

                              I've made a big mistake. I thought we were playing Trinity, last year's D3 National Champion. My apologies.

                                I doubt that many of us are exactly experts when it comes to Canadian college hockey. In this case, their conference is less than 10 years old, even.
