Werenski said no because he's in three weddings this summer, including his own. I chuckled.

That still does not excuse the absurdly wealthy athletic departments of Michigan and Michigan State from doing the needful. At least one of them should have a women's team.

Careful now, we have some uber sensitive people who take any comment about Michigan as a personal insult

I'm sure he'll be here soon to lecture us all on why it's not feasible and also not the responsibility of the state's largest and richest institutions to take the lead.

Considering Michigan already bent the knee I don’t see them adding womens immediately lol

You gotta give non-traditional markets like Michigan a pro team before their "elite" universities consider sports like women's hockey.
I would love to see WMU be the first, but I can't imagine we would have the money to do it. It would be a great use for Lawson after the move, assuming that we can't fit a third hockey team in the new barn.

I've posted many times that IMHO, it's feasible. Should have been done years ago.
All that Yost needs to have done is modify the lower level lockers to be the home lockers for the women. Multiple other teams have used Yost's offices in years past, and all of those have moved to the newer buildings- so there's office space available.
The only "compromise" the women would need is to use the really large workout facility that every other team uses. Which isn't really a comprise, as the overall facility part is better than the workout room at Yost.

Are the K-Wings leaving for the new arena too? Wonder what happens to the Stadium now.

According to this article, yes.
Also, $515m? FFS, how is anyone smaller than WMU ever realistically competing in D1 hockey again?

I mean, it doesn't need to cost half a billion. Plus it's housing basketball and is supposed to be the new city arena for concerts.According to this article, yes.

Pegula was only 88 million. Although given WMU's cost increased 40% from the original price tag in such a short time it's hard to do a fair comparison there. Especially with inflation and now tariffs.

Paired with Bogosian in practice, but was also taking reps with the #1 power play unit.

It's like a 4 block wide multipurpose. Arena, practice rinks, housing, shopping, concerts, parking, the works.

Oh, I see. So like District Detroit (but hopefully not left half-finished and downscaled to a series of $40/day parking lots).

Dillon, Hughes, and Glass all out. Devils may not have a team by the end of the series.

I always roll my eyes a bit when I hear people say Vegas is the leagues darling but holy shit, the refs do not want to call them for anything

As someone who watches a team who plays them regularly, the stats (the least penalized team the past few seasons) do not match the eye test.

At the game, didn't see too many missed calls from the stands. From my vantage point, and offhand without thinking about it too much, there was one blatant high stick that should've been called on Vegas, and one hitting from behind that could've been called on the Wild. Overall seemed like a pretty clean playoff game.
Minnesota just couldn't put shots on net, and Vegas capitalized on more of theirs.
The heavy bettors were going nuts about the empty netter and whether it counted, though, since the over under was 5.5. In the arena, it was a 3-2 final. Lots of money changed hands when it was made 4-2.
