    Strong rumor out that Frost has filled his goalie gap with grad-transfer Bench from Bemidji State. Think those games might have extra hype for BSU next year?

      Where did that news break such that two people posted it the same minute? I'm guessing that means that the WCHA's sit-a-year rule doesn't apply to grad transfers? A senior is definitely a good fit compared to a frosh, with two sophomores and another recruit coming in a year. I don't see it as being a big upgrade over Scobee though, in that Bench was quite inconsistent from game to game. Bench can be very good when she's on, but the same could be said of Scobee. In fairness, I've usually watched her playing against UM, so that might be much of the problem.

        This article from back in Feb (credit to Iceburg for posting it on GPL) gives information about what Bench is planning to do from an academic point of view. Very impressive.

        Was also wondering if this is who D2D was thinking it was as far as the transfer to Minnesota.

        At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

          To be honest I totally made that up, as a way to "stir the pot". I had no idea who it might be. Let's just call it an early April Fools joke.

              I still don't understand why the arena is half full? Where are the east coast fans? Boston would likely have looked the same this year if the season would have continued.

                The Whittemore Center is large enough that it is going to look sparse even with 3,000+ for the final. That was actually pretty good for BC playing a long-way-from-home Minnesota. I suppose there was more interest than usual in the Eagles completing perfection.
