But it would be much better if they used them at about 75mph. Roadkill these *******s.

Yep. Exactly. It sent Vermont to the Frozen 4 in DC. If Air Force would have won that one, we would have had an AHA and a CHA team in the Frozen 4.

If I recall, play went on for a bit right afterwards, then at the first whistle they reviewed and the review took about 20 minutes before they called it a goal.
Howfy Lodge. Happy Friday. Feeling a little better and back at the office. Let's see how the day goes!

I'll be at Mariucci tonight for the WI game with my niece. She's not really a hockey fan, but I'm pretty sure she understands what a puck is. My brother had to go out of town for the weekend to help a friend. Tomorrow's game should be a much better experience for me regardless of the outcome tonight or tomorrow because I'll be there with my college roommate. Right after the Gopher game we're heading off to play a pickup game in BP. This is perhaps the only advantage to having a 5:00 start time for a game. Plus, it'll be the annual Hockey Day Minnesota!

As I said in the series thread, my boy has games both nights of the Minny/UW, so thankfully I won't have to watch the Gophers take all 6 points.
He's fairly frustrated with the season as he's struggling with his role as the 10th forward. This is compounded by the fact that he's better than a couple of the upperclassmen who are on the depth chart ahead of him. He's knows it. I know it. Other parents know it... and tell me it. The coach told me it's the case.
He's learning a lot about mental toughness and accepting a role. To be honest, it's tough on me too coz it's plain as day where he should be. Oh well...
The good news is that he gets shifts at varsity and is the next man up when a "top 9" forward is out and they have him playing JV too so on a given night, he's involved in 5 periods of play (players can only play 5 per day). I keep telling him that his job right now is to be ready coz the opportunity will come.
It's a little frightening watching him play JV coz he's quite a bit faster than some of the kids and he's a big hitter. I'm just watching him trailing a kid and accelerating, getting under the shoulder and in front and...
It's always like, "Uh-oh... here it comes..."
All legal hits on guys with the puck. He's no goon, but he's a very physical player. Even in his limited time on varsity, there's very little doubt that he leads the team in hits.
At JV though, it's like a turkey shoot when he gets a burr under his 5'6" 145lb saddle. Always fun to see him take down a guy who looks twice his size.
Anyway...
Tonight we play the school that he would have gone to had we not enrolled him where he is. He wants to play against his old youth teammates and unfortunately, he'll likely only see limited time.
I'd like to see him play more too as I coached a number of the kids on the other team growing up and know their parents. Still cordial with all of them (most of them
), but wanna beat them.

Had my first follow up this am. Everything looking good and clean, and surgeon said it was a very standard procedure, no surprises.
As for that UVM/Chair Force game, you're correct Scarlet. Play went on for close to 2 minutes after the goal, and the review took 12 minutes. Was really weird being in the stands for that long of a review, felt like forever.

My boss' boss had a meeting this morning with his new boss to talk about our event plans for 2015, including events around a new sponsorship (which should interest some folks here) that hasn't been announced yet. I've spent the better part of this week lining up vendors and internal departments to move quickly as we were looking at doing something early February even though we didn't get the go-ahead to proceed yet. And we didn't. They want to wait till April. The good news for me is that we now have more time to better plan a kick off for this rather than panicking about throwing together something really fast. The other thing they discussed was my proposed plan for our office visits surrounding the Olympic sponsorship. This would have had me on the road quite a bit starting in April. Now, I'll still be on the road, but it will be later in 2015 and I have totally redo my plan. All that work.....I knew it was going to change.

It was interesting talking to the refs that called that in the bar at the final 5 they year after. It sounded like they didn't know what to think at first and eventually came to the conclusion that it must have gone it.

Wasn't that a Tyler Arnason goal? I vividly remember that game. Crazy to think that was my second Final Five ever, and never missed one at the X.
EDIT: ****, I was 8 years old and I remember that! Seems like forever ago! http://www.uscho.com/recaps/2001/03/16/arnason-goal-on-review-helps-st-cloud-put-away-minnesota/

I do hope to catch up with you this year. Haven't seen you since Tampa. Unless you've been planning it that way.

Same year BU had its crazy comeback to win the NC, correct? Same refs did both games IIRC.
Also, if I remember correctly, the time SCSU put one through the net play went on for almost five minutes before it could be reviewed. I seem to recall MN took a penalty that ended up stopping the clock so they ended up giving up a goal and being a man short for time that had not yet happened. Weird game.
