Jacko was a great guy, a wonderful communicator and a fantastic recruiter during his stay at NU . Yeah if he had a bit more coaching experience before he became HC, he probably would have been a more effective coach at NU. Don’t forget he was fired after going .500 during the 97-98 season with a los...

The Big 10 schools literally put a hurt on their opponents in the opening rounds of the Tourney. These games were literally non competitive against schools from the other leagues. Of the remaining 8 teams in the quarterfinals; Penn State , OSU , Minny and Michigan have all advanced. “B10blowouts: 4 ...

Why not follow the Iona model, if possible? Unfortunately because of the portal, mid-majors for the most are unable to retain talented frosh and sophs. The practice of developing players at this level has become ancient history IMO. Just load up on JUCOs and transfers etc. A few more additions to th...

With or without NT, NU should be positioned well in the MAAC to finish in the upper tier of the league next season. Iona's roster is being depleted because of the coaching change, QU is losing key players in the portal, and Rider will be young due to graduations. Siena again will experience high tur...

9-2 final. This was a very low scoring football game with a safety for the Griffs . Believe it not , this was a very competitive game until the 3rd period with Minny scoring 6 goals in the final stanza. Conclusion: Another David vs Goliath scenario re the AHA in the Tourney. Since RIT advanced to th...

The floodgates opened up on a Minny five minute power play . 5-2 .

Damn, yup the Gophers stole one late in the 3rd. Minny has 14 draft picks so obviously CC should be overwhelmed , correct ? No … CC is playing to win this damn game. No more moral victories in the NCAA’s.

They are still playing tough against Minny deep into the second period. Minny by no means is dominating the game , it’s been evenly played. It’s a game !

CC up 2-1 in the 2nd. Wow !
