Still crazy to see the strides US hockey has made from Sochi. You'd never have dreamed we could have a roster like the one we have right now


It’s probably going to keep getting better too. USA Hockey has been riding momentum with pretty damn good development.

Good thing about Hellebuyck getting lost there is you don’t have to worry about him doing that stupid shite again against Canada.


You didn't watch the playoffs the last couple years, did you?

spoiler alert. he's been absolute dogshit. had a GAA of, like, 5 against St Louis and Dallas last year. His save percentage went from the best in the NHL in the regular season, to 42nd in the playoffs. There are 32 teams in the NHL. Same thing the year before. I love the guy, he has 3 Vezinas, but he is an absolute choking dog come playoff time.

Sauce: Disgruntled Jets fan that just KNEW last year was The jets year and Bucky and the D absolutely shite the bed when it mattered most.

I know Illinois seems to be a popular name floated out there
Both them and Iowa are schools who should be ready to go. Geographically they are next door to fertile ground. Here's the problem with illinois though. The state is not going to build them a D1 worthy arena. They just renovated their arena and it would be damn near impossible to have a shared setup with basketball. The closest hockey arena to their campus is a minor league arena in Bloomington. IIRC their club team is good so perhaps they could be persuaded to figure it out.

The one other factor that I didn't even think of is Title IX. Wisconsin cut their baseball program in the early 90s rather than add more women's sports. Some GO5 schools and do far as to cut men's track. Hockey would force either an additional woman's program or cutting an existing one. Nobody is going to cut a Since Olympic sport with LA28 coming up. Are there enough females to add hockey for both genders?

Can speak to the playoff series against COL two years ago, as I was there for both games in Denver.

While there’s no doubt Bucky didn’t stand on his head like normal, that blue line also failed him miserably.

It ain’t always on the G.

Spent much of the day at a Mite hockey tournament. Asked one of the parents what time they play tomorrow. Answer was "we ALL have a 7AM game time".

To say the emotions across the USA Hockey community is at a fever pitch is an understatement.

Canadians hate us despite the protection we provide them. Our naivete has blinded us for a long time. I hope we destroy the souls of those mayonnaise loving Syrupeans tomorrow.

The average "travel ball" parents have no clue. Mites are 8-U?

I believe it’s done by birth year now. Things have changed since I played, but it would be about 8-6 and then before that atoms.

Now they have them using those stupid blue pucks that are lighter. What a stupid idea.

I didn’t realize we had that many teammates going H2H today. Makes sense because those are all top teams.

Then those guys will go back to being friends next week. But you know they want those bragging rights bad.

From the above video tkachuk brothers (first two fights) here is their Dad (Keith) fighting Claude Ledouche.

Gotta love the tkachuk’s.
